Browser: Open Source, strenger Datenschutz: Mozilla will Firmen mit Firefox Enterprise überzeugen
Europäische Firmen wollen unabhängiger werden von US-Tech-Konzernen. Die Entwicklerorganisation Mozilla bietet ihnen jetzt eine eigene Version ihres Browsers an – und hofft auf Einnahmen.
San Francisco - Most office workers today spend their time in a browser. Previously, they used many different programs, but now they mostly log in to either Google's Chrome or Apple's Safari. This means all corporate data is transmitted via a US-based service, according to Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, a spokesperson for Mozilla Corporation.
He considers this one of the most sensitive areas that receives insufficient attention. As the head of the Mozilla Corporation's revenue-generating arm, Enzor-DeMeo recently took over the leadership. He hopes to generate new revenue after a period of decline. To achieve this, Mozilla launched "Firefox Enterprise" on Tuesday. The new version of its browser for government agencies and businesses is designed to comply with strict security requirements and European data protection regulations, Enzor-DeMeo says.
It is the only web browser to meet all the requirements of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). The launch will start in Germany, France, Austria, and Switzerland. "The desire for an alternative to US systems was simply greatest in Europe," Enzor-DeMeo explains. Firefox is based on Gecko, the free browser software developed by the Mozilla community. It is an open-source project, and its source code can be inspected by anyone.
