April 24, 2017, Moscow- Yandex Browser has become Sberbank's alternative corporate browser. It is currently installed on the computers of around 50,000 of the bank's office workers. In the future the browser will be installed on the workstations of employees who work at Sberbank branches and on the terminals for clients.

The Sberbank build looks different and includes shortcuts to resources that are frequently used by employees. For example, it has links to the bank's services, Wikipedia, and other information resources. The browser is managed according to group policies - rules which apply to all computers on the network. Sberbank uses group policies to ensure additional internal information security. Protect technology is used to defend employees from online threats. It scans websites and files for viruses and stops passwords and payment details from being stolen. In addition, the browser is created using free software. By choosing Yandex Browser, Sberbank is taking another step towards wider use of free software at the bank and replacing foreign software with its local counterparts.

"When choosing a corporate browser, first we looked at two areas: extensive remote management capabilities and strong compliance with our cybersecurity requirements. Our colleagues from Yandex tailored their browser to meet Sberbank's needs, and this played a big role in our final decision," commented Nikita Volkov, Senior Vice President of Sberbank.

"The corporate version of the browser is convenient because if can be tailored to meet the needs of any organisation. Extension can be added, the company's internal systems can be integrated, and the interface can be customised. In addition, the browser can be centrally managed. There is no need to change settings at every workstation. We are delighted that Russia's biggest bank has chosen Yandex Browser for its employees," said Dmitry Timko, Head of Yandex Browser.

Sberbank uses the corporate version of Yandex Browser, which was released this March. The basic version of the corporate browser, which utilises Protect technology and group policies, can be downloaded from the promo site.
