Your employees access critical company data through Chrome and Edge—browsers designed for consumers, not for corporate security. In a world of remote work and SaaS applications, this represents a massive, uncontrolled risk.

The enterprise browser is a new class of software designed to fix this, turning the browser into a secure, manageable workspace.

The Problem: Consumer Browsers are the Weakest Link

The nature of work has fundamentally changed. The "office" is no longer a physical building; it's the browser. This is where your team collaborates in Microsoft 365, manages customers in Salesforce, and communicates in Slack. While this flexibility is great for productivity, it has dissolved the traditional network perimeter. Your most sensitive data is now being accessed on consumer-grade browsers that your IT team has little to no control over. This creates critical security gaps:

• No Central Control: IT cannot enforce security policies, manage extensions, or block risky websites consistently across every user's browser.


• Data Leakage: A user can easily copy sensitive data from a corporate app and paste it into their personal email or a generative AI tool. They can download a confidential report to an unmanaged personal laptop without anyone knowing.


• Zero Visibility: You have no insight into how users are interacting with data inside your SaaS applications. This makes security audits and incident response nearly impossible.

Traditional solutions like VDI and VPNs are often slow, expensive, and frustrating for users, leading them to find insecure workarounds.

What is an Enterprise Browser?

An enterprise browser is a browser purpose-built for the workplace. While it's typically based on a familiar core like Chromium (so the user experience is seamless), it has a deep layer of security, governance, and management controls built directly into its architecture. It creates a secure "bubble" where all work activities take place, completely isolated from a user's personal browsing. This allows you to protect corporate data without intruding on employee privacy.

Key Capabilities of a Secure Browser for Business

The true power of an enterprise browser lies in its ability to enforcegranular security policies at the point of interaction—the browser itself.

Granular Policy Enforcement

This goes far beyond simply allowing or blocking a website. An enterprise browser allows IT to set context-aware rules. For example, you can create policies such as: "Allow all employees to view customer data in Salesforce, but only permit the sales team to export reports," or "Prevent any user from pasting data from our internal wiki into a public web forum." This level of control is impossible with a standard browser.

Built-in Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

A core function is preventing data exfiltration. An enterprise browser can be configured to automatically redact sensitive information (like credit card numbers or social security numbers) from being displayed on screen. It can also block screen captures, printing, and file uploads or downloads to unapproved destinations, providing robust data loss prevention (DLP) right at the source.

Complete Visibility and Auditing

For the first time, security and IT teams can get detailed logs of user activity within web applications. This includes actions like logins, data entry, and file downloads. This deep visibility is invaluable for security audits, compliance reporting, and rapidly investigating any potential security incidents.

Secure Access for Everyone, Everywhere

An enterprise browser is a key enabler of a modern, distributed workforce. It provides a simple way to grant secure access to contractors, vendors, and employees on unmanaged BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) hardware. It ensures that no matter what device is being used, corporate activity happens within the secure, managed browser environment.

Making the Browser Your Strongest Asset

The browser has evolved from a simple application into the de facto operating system for modern work. Leaving this critical workspace unsecured is no longer a viable option. An enterprise browser transforms this potential liability into your strongest security asset. It is a foundational element of a zero trust security architecture, where trust is never assumed, and every interaction with corporate data is verified and protected. It's time to secure the one application where all of your company's most important work takes place.
