Comprehensive Guide to Browser Security Strategies
Best practices for hardening browser security in Endpoint Central and staying ahead of cyber threats.
Monitoring
Keeping visibility current
Scans and extension audits are only useful if they run often enough to catch drift.
Regularly schedule browser insights scans
Detailed browser scans, run regularly, analyze security configurations, assess the types of browsers used across the network, and identify outdated browsers and potential vulnerabilities. They also detect insecure extensions and browser settings, so organizations can enforce secure policies effectively. Learn More
Review extension usage and security
Monitoring browser extensions is a crucial step in identifying potential security risks. Regular audits of all installed extensions help detect unauthorized or outdated add-ons. Learn More
Policy
Defining and enforcing access rules
A tailored compliance policy, combined with tight access rules, keeps browsing both secure and productive.
Define compliance based on organizational needs
A custom compliance policy tailored to the organization's security and regulatory requirements is vital for enforcing secure browser usage — aligning security practices with internal policy and external regulation while still letting employees work efficiently. Learn More
Control access to websites
Configure browser settings to allow or block access to specific websites, downloads, and uploads. Controlling access helps prevent exposure to harmful or non-compliant web applications, reducing the risk of malware, phishing attacks, and data leaks. Learn More
Restrict access to unmanaged browsers
Blocking access to non-managed browsers is a key measure in preventing security loopholes. Restricting usage to IT-approved and managed browsers keeps security configurations uniform across every endpoint, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches. Learn More
