The guide, "Protection from web-borne threats starts with Browser Security Platform," details the characteristics and the capabilities of a potential solution, and explains how it compares to other security solutions and why it is needed.

Comprehensive - addresses all aspects of the browser security: the browser itself, user activities and preventing attacker-controlled web pages.
The main ones are work flexibility for employees, consolidation of browser security controls, regained control of unmanaged resources, consistency of protection across all web and SaaS applications and support for a cloud-first strategy.
