Abstract
Embodiments described include systems and methods for securely managing browser plugins via embedded browser. The solution enables a client application or embedded browser to dynamically load the browser components into the embedded browser based on a risk or security profile and one or more policies. The policies can be centrally managed to enable only allowed browser components to be loaded within the embedded browser for a given risk profile. Based on the risk profile, a session established by the embedded browser can be transferred from the client application to a hosted browser at a secure sever. When the session is transferred to the hosted browser, the present system can also redirect the browser component configurations to the hosted browser such that the same browser components are enabled, disabled, or modified at the hosted browser.
