Problem
Web browsers are frequent targets for cyberattacks, with a significant percentage of breaches originating from browser-based vulnerabilities and human error. Traditional security measures often fail to prevent advanced threats like phishing, malware, and credential theft, leaving organizations vulnerable to data breaches and financial losses. Existing security solutions can be complex to manage and may not adequately address the risks associated with unmanaged devices and remote work environments.
Solution
DefensX provides a zero-trust web protection platform that transforms standard web browsers into secure environments, mitigating web-based threats and enhancing user resilience. The platform isolates threats before they reach endpoint devices by implementing remote browser isolation (RBI) and secure DNS filtering. By integrating with existing security stacks and RMM tools, DefensX offers a low-touch solution that secures web access across managed and unmanaged devices. The platform also includes a vCISO risk management module that uses AI-powered reports to provide actionable insights into human risk, enabling organizations to improve user behavior and reduce the likelihood of successful attacks.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes Managed Service Providers (MSPs) looking to enhance their security offerings, as well as organizations seeking to improve their web security posture and reduce the risk of browser-based attacks.
