FAQs
Why is Sales Navigator risky from a browser standpoint?
Sales users click lots of external links and ads. That increases exposure to redirects, malvertising, and credential theft lures.
Do we need to block LinkedIn to be safe?
No. Isolating risky browsing paths (unknown external links and ads) is a more practical approach than broad blocking.
How does isolation help sales productivity?
It lets reps research and click links with less endpoint exposure by running web content in an isolated environment.
What’s a quick policy win?
Force ad-click and unknown domains into isolation for sales teams, and restrict downloads from untrusted sources.
