Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser vs. Symantec Web Security Service

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser is a fully managed, cloud-native service that enables secure access to internal websites, software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, and the public internet. By streaming encrypted pixels from a remote browser session running in the AWS cloud to the user's local device, it ensures that sensitive corporate data never touches the end user's device, thereby mitigating the risk of unauthorized data exfiltration.

Symantec Web Security Service (WSS) provides the same proactive web protection capabilities delivered by the market’s leading on-premises Secure Web Gateway, Symantec ProxySG, but delivered as a resilient and performant cloud security service. Sitting between employees, wherever they are located, and the Internet, the service protects the enterprise from cyber threats, controls and protects corporate use of cloud applications and the web, prevents data leaks, and ensures compliance with all company information and web/cloud access policies.
