Secure workspace
What this is
Business applications open in a browser tab. Mail, file storage, the CRM, the finance system and the support desk are web applications, and the browser is the client for all of them. Secure workspace is the work of making that client something the organisation controls.
Why it matters
The browser is the one piece of enterprise software that is installed everywhere, updated by someone else, extended by the user, and trusted by every SaaS application the company pays for. It holds the sessions. It performs the uploads. It is where a credential gets typed, and where a corporate file gets pasted into a personal account. None of that is visible to a firewall, because the traffic is encrypted and the destination is legitimate.
It is a category rather than a feature because the two obvious fixes both fail. Hardening the endpoint does not reach inside the session. Replacing the browser turns a security decision into a migration, carrying user habits, extensions, saved sessions and the helpdesk load that comes with all three.
What it solves
- Credentials typed into a page that looks like the corporate login
- Corporate files moved into personal accounts inside the same browser window
- Company data pasted into AI tools nobody procured, in the one place a data loss tool was never watching
- Contractors and unmanaged devices that need one application and not the estate
- Internal applications published without putting the device on the network

Endpoint security covers the operating system under the browser on the same machine. The two surfaces are managed separately and neither reaches into the other. Access to internal applications overlaps with network security, which is an area we are still negotiating. When a vendor lands there, this page will say which product owns which half.
