Browser security is becoming increasingly popular among organizations as a cost-effective solution to combat web-based threats such as phishing websites and malicious browser extensions.
Description
Recognizing the susceptibility of browsers to cyber threats, organizations are turning to browser security as a more efficient and affordable alternative to traditional network and endpoint solutions. In a recent report titled “CISO Testimonials: 6 Real Life Stories of Cutting Costs with a Browser Security Platform” [1] [4] [5], six CISOs shared their experiences on how implementing browser security helped reduce security team workloads and enhance efficiency [2] [4] [5]. One organization reported a significant decrease in total cost of ownership and the implementation of granular protection down to text typing and form filling within the browser after transitioning to LayerX. Another CISO mentioned the challenges of managing browser security across managed and unmanaged devices [3] [5], but found success with LayerX in automating the detection and prevention of security weaknesses [3]. Additionally, a shift from traditional training methods to real-time notifications through LayerX has proven to be more effective in preventing risky browser activities [3] [5]. LayerX also provides a comprehensive view of browser versions [4] [5], users [4] [5], and profiles [4] [5], further enhancing organizations’ ability to detect and prevent security vulnerabilities. One organization faced the complexity of protecting data on SaaS applications from external leaks and breaches [1], and successfully transitioned from CASB and agent-based DLP solutions to LayerX [1], significantly reducing TCO and effectively protecting text and form inputs within the browser [1]. Another CISO successfully resolved browser security management challenges by using LayerX to keep browser versions up to date on both managed and unmanaged devices [1], and prevent malicious extensions [1].
Conclusion
The adoption of browser security solutions has proven to be a valuable asset for organizations in reducing costs, enhancing efficiency [3] [4] [5], and improving overall security posture. Moving forward, organizations should continue to prioritize browser security as a key component of their cybersecurity strategy to effectively mitigate web-based threats and protect sensitive data.
