Fireglass
Fireglass was an Israeli VC-backed cybersecurity startup that pioneered browser isolation and web threat containment for enterprise and high-security environments.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Fireglass developed remote browser isolation technology to separate users from active web threats, reducing exposure to phishing, exploit kits, and malicious content. The model became a key architectural approach for high-risk browsing environments.
The company was Israel-founded, venture-backed, and later acquired by Symantec. Its technical approach helped establish browser isolation as a practical cyber-defense control in enterprise and regulated sectors.
Dual-use relevance is clear: isolation-based browsing safeguards can protect both private-sector operations and government/defense-adjacent organizations handling sensitive workflows online.
