Problem
Enterprises face increasing web-borne threats such as data leakage, phishing attacks, and unauthorized SaaS application usage, which existing endpoint and network security solutions often fail to adequately address. The browser, acting as a central hub for accessing SaaS applications and sensitive data, has become a significant blind spot and a primary target for account takeovers.
Solution
LayerX provides an agentless browser security platform that integrates with any browser to protect organizations from web-borne threats and browsing risks. By monitoring user activity and performing real-time risk analysis within the browser, LayerX enables enterprises to enforce security policies, prevent data leakage, govern GenAI usage, control SaaS access, and mitigate the risks associated with browser extensions. The platform's AI-powered engine scans web page content for malicious code and protects against identity threats, ensuring a secure browsing experience without disrupting user productivity or compromising privacy. LayerX offers a comprehensive solution for securing web access, reducing reliance on traditional VDI and RBI approaches, and enabling secure access for BYOD and contractor scenarios.
