Welcome to SURF. This guide walks you through installing the browser, authenticating, bringing your bookmarks across, and finding your way around the SURF home page.

If your organisation licenses SURF through Check Point, the browser may be branded "Check Point Enterprise Browser, powered by SURF". Everything in this guide applies either way.

What is SURF?

SURF is a zero trust enterprise browser. It gives you a normal, Chromium based browsing experience while applying your organisation's security controls (access control, data protection, safe browsing) in the background. Familiar Chromium features are all present: bookmarks, profiles, tab groups, history, and extensions.

Before you start

You will need:

• Your company email address, the one your organisation used to enrol you
• The invite email from [email protected], subject "Surf Invite: Verify Your Email" (check your spam folder if you cannot find it)

SURF does not require local admin rights to install. It deploys in your user context, so there is no need for elevated permissions or an IT ticket to get started.

If your IT team has already pushed SURF to your device, skip to Step 2: Authenticate.

Step 1: Install the browser

Open the link in your invite email. The download portal detects your operating system and offers the correct version automatically.

Windows

1. Click the downloaded file to run it.
2. The install runs silently in the background. Nothing else is needed from you.
3. When it finishes, SURF opens automatically.

macOS

1. Open the downloaded .dmg file.
