Abstract
The Virtual Browser project aims to provide a secure, containerized web browsing environment leveraging DevSecOps principles. With the increasing prevalence of web-based threats, traditional browsers expose users to significant security risks, including malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized data breaches. By implementing a Virtual Browser within a controlled containerized infrastructure, this project ensures an isolated execution environment that prevents direct exposure of the host system to online threats. The architecture integrates various security and automation tools such as GitHub, Jenkins, SonarQube, Dependency-Check, Docker, Trivy, and Docker Compose, ensuring a streamlined workflow that prioritizes security at every stage of development and deployment. This paper explores the technical implementation, security measures, benefits, and potential applications of the Virtual Browser concept in enterprise and research domains. Furthermore, it discusses how embedding security automation in the development pipeline mitigates risks and enhances operational efficiency. Through continuous integration and monitoring, the system remains resilient against evolving cyber threats, making it an effective solution for secure web access in modern IT infrastructures.
