Google Chrome: The most popular web browser on the market. Its ease of use and fluidity to link across all of Google’s services is unparalleled. However, with a platform used by hundreds of millions around the world, this also makes them an attractive target for cybercriminals.
With zero-day attacks, these cannot be known by Google until it has been exploited. An exceptional browser needs the security protection that its users deserve. When a user accesses a malicious site that exploits an unknown, unpatched flaw, the device becomes compromised. They are at the mercy of the hacker and their requests.

In our last article, we talked about how Puffin Cloud Isolation works and how it works with Puffin Secure Browser to deliver a seamless web isolation experience that can protect endpoints from current and future web threats without changing user behavior. Here, we will dig deeper into the concept and see how Puffin Secure Browser isolates and nullifies web threats.
Puffin Secure Browser is a large-scale, multi-data center, high availability cloud service that can support over 10 million monthly active users globally. An endpoint first connects the Puffin Secure Browser to create a remote user session and forward user events…
Since the web browser’s invention 30 years ago, it has become the most critical application on our computers. Many of our daily tasks, from work to entertainment, rely on web browsers. That makes browser attacks one of the most popular ways for cybercriminals to inflict damage. In 2020, the estimated monetary loss from global cyber crime was $945 billion. Whenever a web browser announces a security fix, hackers might already use that vulnerability for some time. Modern web browsers and operating systems are so sophisticated that the existence of zero-day vulnerabilities is inevitable.
Traditional secure web gateway uses technologies like…
There is an old saying that states ‘know your enemy’. As a zero-day attack is the most serious threat to web and network security that we face today, it is worth understanding zero-day attacks so you know what they look like and how to recognize them in the real world.
A zero-day attack is a cyberattack based on zero-day vulnerability. A zero-day vulnerability is a flaw in software that can cause it to execute something and make software not programmed, usually some malicious action like encrypting your data and demanding a ransom to restore access to the data upon payment.

當我們在機場、圖書館,或是學校電腦使用時,常常會擔心中毒,這是許多人的共同經驗。實際情況確實是如此,因為我們永遠不曉得病毒是從何而來。不過,從現在開始,只要透過 Puffin 全雲端上網隔離系統來瀏覽網頁,就再也不必擔心這個問題了!
接下來這篇文章,我們將跟大家介紹如何在公用電腦及公眾網路使用 Puffin,同時又可以確保瀏覽安全與隱私外洩的問題。
Puffin 全雲端上網隔離系統的設計初衷,是為了可以讓使用者隨時隨地在不同的電腦上享受安全的瀏覽,這裡頭當然也包括其他人的電腦(例如學校的公用電腦),或是透過公眾 Wi-Fi 網路上網。為了要保護使用者在不特定的電腦上瀏覽,或是透過咖啡廳的公眾 Wi-Fi 網路連線瀏覽,我們特別設計了一個「公用電腦模式」。
當使用者初次透過一個新的瀏覽器中使用 Puffin 全雲端上網隔離系統時(https://i.puffin.com/),我們會要求使用者輸入 Puffin 帳號,也就是你的 Email 來啟用服務。
很多人可能都聽過這個壞消息了:Adobe 公司在 2020 年 12 月 31 日後不再繼續更新 Flash 了。這意味著任何潛藏的 Flash 安全性問題將會是一個漏洞。有鑑於此,所有瀏覽器也同時宣佈在 2021 年起,將不再支援 Flash — — 這代表著 Flash 將走入歷史,眾多 Flash 遊戲、教育性內容很快地就無法被使用了。
我們要告訴大家一個好消息:Puffin 在不同平台的瀏覽器(包括行動、電腦平台版本),及 Puffin 全雲端上網隔離系統,都將繼續支援 Flash!透過我們最新推出的 Puffin 全雲端上網隔離系統,使用者可以繼續使用原來的瀏覽器來瀏覽 Flash 內容,而且完全不必擔心瀏覽安全問題。
作為一個雲端瀏覽技術的領導廠商,我們在七年前率先開發了雲端 Flash 播放器,Puffin 在 iOS及 Android 平台上,多年來一直是許多使用者用來玩 Flash 遊戲的唯一選擇。累積了多年支援 Flash 雲端瀏覽的經驗,我們將繼續在各平台的 Puffin 瀏覽器中提供安全無虞的 Flash 瀏覽體驗。
儘管有許多人嫌 Flash 又慢又不安全,不過,最根本的問題在於 Flash 並不像許多瀏覽器一樣開放原始碼,以致於修補安全漏洞與改善的工作,只能集中在 Adobe 一家公司有限度的支援。隨著時間不斷的往前推進,HTML 的技術已經有了很大的改變,進而取代 Flash 在許多 Web 應用程式上的地位,Flash 也漸漸地變得不是那麼受到重視。
因為這些種種原因,Adobe 不得不宣佈放棄繼續開發 Flash,同時,也不再提供安全性更新等技術支援。因此,各瀏覽器宣布不再支援 Flash 也是不得已,因為他們無法承受在 Adobe 停止提供安全性更新後,可能潛藏的未知的安全漏洞可能帶給使用者的損害。不過,對 Puffin 來說,完全沒有這樣的問題。首先,Puffin 是一個雲端瀏覽器,雲端 Flash 播放器實際上是在我們伺服器的雲端沙盒裡(Sandbox)執行,如果有任何安全漏洞或問題,只會傷害到雲端的沙盒,而不會接觸到使用者的設備。透過 Puffin,不但可以繼續瀏覽 Flash 內容,同時也可以確保使用者的瀏覽安全。
大家可能以為在 Flash 退下舞台後,鎂光燈將會熄滅,其實不然。讓我們很驚訝的是,實際上還有許多為數可觀的 Flash 內容仍在運作,包括教育性的內容、影片,及從 Flash 盛行時代就受到很多使用者歡迎的 Flash 遊戲。當然,最終這些內容可能都會被 HTML 與 JavaScript 改寫成符合瀏覽器支援的版本,不過,在這一天到來之前,Puffin 仍將會繼續支援 Flash!
回過頭來說,讓 Puffin 可以繼續支援 Flash 的最重要關鍵,其實來自於「網頁隔離」(Web isolation)。很多人可能知道,「網頁隔離」之所以受到人們的重視,是由於日益增加、存在網頁與瀏覽器的安全漏洞,所以 Puffin 在十年前就研發的雲端瀏覽引擎,以徹底解決這個問題。Puffin Cloud Avatar 不僅可以提供使用者快速的瀏覽體驗,同時,也將可能潛在的威脅阻絕在雲端。很有趣的是,開放原始碼的瀏覽器引擎、私有原始碼的 Flash,還有各種潛藏的未知的威脅,同時在雲端「活著」,卻永遠傷害不到使用者的電腦 — — 這也是為何 Puffin 得以保護使用者安全,阻絕潛在威脅的秘方。
從技術的角度來看,我們認為 Flash 並不是不好,相反的,有很多人從 Flash 帶來的瀏覽體驗終獲益,Flash 之所以漸漸被市場所淘汰,實際上是因為封閉性技術的宿命,及缺乏眾人的集體智慧來持續改善與修補,漸漸地就失去競爭優勢了。不過,慶幸的是,不管是安全或不安全的網頁,Puffin 全雲端上網隔離系統將可以免除使用者的顧慮,提供使用者絕對安全的瀏覽體驗。希望大家都可以自由且沒有顧慮的上網!
