Introduction to Browser Classic
Check Point's Browser Classic is a lightweight and easy to deploy solution which enables users to safely access the internet, no matter where they are. It protects organizations and their employees from web-based threats by preventing users from visiting zero-day phishing sites, downloading zero-day malware, accessing non-compliant websites, and reusing corporate passwords for non-business web content.
The product contains an on-cloud management system and a browser extension which provides multi-layer browser protection capabilities.
