Ericom Software
Ericom Software was an Israeli cybersecurity company specializing in browser isolation and zero trust network access (ZTNA) solutions, providing secure remote access and web browsing protection through clientless isolation technology.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Ericom Software developed a suite of browser isolation and secure access solutions that protected organizations from web-borne threats by executing all web content in isolated cloud containers—preventing malware, phishing, and zero-day exploits from reaching endpoints. The platform included Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), Web Application Isolation, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) capabilities, enabling secure browsing and remote access without requiring endpoint agents.
Commercially, Ericom competed in the browser isolation and ZTNA market alongside Menlo Security, Zscaler, Cloudflare, and Symantec Web Isolation. Founded in 1993 in Tel Aviv, Ericom was one of Israel's longest-standing cybersecurity companies. The company evolved from secure remote access technology into browser isolation and zero trust, serving government agencies, financial institutions, and defense organizations. In 2023, Zscaler acquired Ericom for its browser isolation and ZTNA technology, integrating these capabilities into the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform.
From a defense and national security perspective, browser isolation is directly relevant to protecting classified and sensitive military networks from web-borne threats. The ability to safely access web content without exposing endpoints to malware enables secure intelligence gathering, open-source intelligence (OSINT) operations, and safe browsing on defense networks. ZTNA capabilities support zero trust architectures mandated for military networks.
