Browser Security

As businesses increasingly adopt cloud-based solutions, web browsers have become the primary gateway for employees to access their work. Unfortunately, this trend has made organizations vulnerable to a growing number of browser-based attacks. Endpoint Central brings a solution to this through its Browsers module. It is a powerful tool designed to protect your network from these threats. It proactively detects and addresses vulnerabilities, enforces security policies on the browsers, restricts user access to potentially harmful content, and provides comprehensive audit capabilities. By implementing Browser Security, IT administrators can effectively combat browser-based attacks and safeguard their organization's sensitive data.

Brief History of Browser Security

Browser security has evolved significantly since the early days of the internet. In the 1990s, simple firewalls and antivirus software were the primary defenses. However, as the internet grew more complex, so did the threats. In the early 2000s, phishing scams and malware attacks became more prevalent. This led to the development of more sophisticated security measures like sandboxing and HTTPS encryption. By the mid-2010s, browser vendors began integrating features like content blocking and tracking prevention. Today, browser security continues to evolve as new threats emerge, with a focus on protecting user privacy and data integrity.

Endpoint Central's Browser Security safeguards your organization from cyber threats that originate through web browsers. It ensures the security of data shared between browsers and web applications or cloud environments. By monitoring browser usage and ensuring they are up-to-date, you can maintain a high level of security. Additionally, the tool helps you comply with industry-standard compliance standards like CIS and STIG. By reducing distractions and preventing cyberattacks, Browser Security enhances productivity and ensures a seamless user experience without compatibility issues.
