About Ericom Shield

Ericom Shield is a cybersecurity software from Cradlepoint that focuses on web security. It provides features such as page blocking, threat detection, and real-time monitoring so that organizations can mitigate risks associated with web access. This solution helps prevent exposure to malicious websites and downloads, safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining network integrity. Ericom Shield offers customizable controls to enforce web access policies based on user roles, adding an additional layer of protection. Key capabilities: page blocking threat detection real-time monitoring customizable controls policy enforcement Best for: organizations that need reliable web security to protect against online threats.

Ericom Shield by Cradlepoint is a powerful cybersecurity solution designed to protect organizations against web-based threats through its cutting-edge Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) technology. By employing a Zero Trust Secure Access framework, Ericom Shield ensures that potentially harmful content from websites—such as malware, phishing attempts, and zero-day exploits—never reaches users’ endpoints. It does this by isolating all web content in remote, cloud-based containers, rendering only safe visual streams in users’ browsers. This method eliminates the risk of malicious code executing on the user's device, offering a robust line of defense that is both effective and unobtrusive. One of the most impressive aspects of Ericom Shield is its clientless architecture. Unlike many cybersecurity tools that require complex endpoint installations and ongoing maintenance, Ericom Shield functions entirely through the browser, making it compatible with a wide range of devices and operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, and even mobile platforms. This approach makes it especially attractive to organizations with diverse or BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environments.
