Ever thought about how much we rely on browsers every day? They’re practically the gateway to everything we do online—emails, apps, cloud platforms. But here’s the problem: most browsers come with default settings that are way too relaxed on security. And that’s exactly what hackers love.
The risk: Browsers often prioritize user-friendliness over robust security. They tend to allow unverified extensions, lack strict cookie policies, and are too open to third-party connections—like leaving your door unlocked.
The solution: Businesses must enforce stronger browser policies. This includes blocking risky extensions, restricting third-party access, and enhancing security settings like Content Security Policies (CSPs). These changes can significantly improve cyber threat protection
Browser Security Plus empowers IT teams to centrally manage and harden browser configurations across the enterprise. It allows you to enforce extension control policies, restrict unauthorized websites, configure CSP headers, and monitor browser health in real time—eliminating security blind spots and ensuring compliance with organizational security standards.
The risk: Browser add-ons offer convenience but introduce risks. A single compromised extension can steal data, hijack sessions, or create network vulnerabilities.
The solution: Avoid allowing all extensions by default. Establish guidelines for approved extensions and check them carefully. Even seemingly harmless extensions can demand excessive permissions. Use browser security software to detect suspicious activity early. Staying informed is crucial in online security.
Browser Security Plus lets you enforce granular control over browser extensions across your network. It helps allowlist safe extensions, automatically block unapproved or high-risk ones, and provides visibility into permissions requested by each extension. With real-time alerts and detailed reports, BSP ensures that no unauthorized or malicious add-on goes unnoticed.
The risk: Browsers are the entry point for enterprise SaaS applications, making stored passwords attractive to attackers. Keylogging, phishing, and browser-based attacks can capture login information.
The solution: Deploy web security solutions with anti-phishing and credential theft features. Tools that warn against entering credentials on unverified sites can protect company accounts.
Browser Security Plus proactively detects phishing attempts and blocks users from accessing malicious or spoofed login pages. It can enforce safe browsing practices by preventing users from saving credentials in unmanaged browsers and restricting access to unauthorised domains. With centralised visibility into browser behavior, IT teams can quickly identify and respond to credential theft risks.
The risk: Browsers handle many data transfers (e.g., cloud uploads, file downloads, forms). Without controls, sensitive data can leak accidentally or intentionally.
The solution: Use browser-specific data loss prevention (DLP) tools. These tools can prevent unauthorised uploads, flag sensitive transfers, and enforce encryption for web-based data exchange, guarding against accidental and malicious leaks.
Browser Security Plus includes built-inn data transfer controls that let you monitor and restrict file uploads, clipboard operations, and form submissions on websites. It can block data transfers to untrusted domains, enforce encryption policies, and generate audit trails of browser-based interactions—making it easier to detect and prevent data leaks in real time.
A proactive approach combining advanced tools and user education is essential for browser security. Here's how to address these vulnerabilities:
Centralized browser management: Ensure consistent configuration and updates across all organizational browsers.
Risk reduction: Block traffic to suspicious extensions and downloads.
Zero trust approach: Use browser isolation for safe access to risky sites.
Data security: Integrate DLP solutions into all browser data transfers. Consider a solution like Endpoint Central
Browsers are vital to enterprises, and neglecting their security poses a significant risk. Browser Security Plus offers solutions designed for enterprise browsers, enhancing security at every interaction.
