LayerX has added support for Perplexity’s Comet browser and for Dia, to support new AI-native user workflows and enable AI productivity while maintaining data security.

AI is redefining how we work. That’s not a prediction—it’s happening right now.

Your team isn’t just using AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot. They’re living in them. From summarizing meetings to drafting reports, from building code to generating strategies, AI is baked into everyday workflows. And the interface tying it all together? The browser.

But the browser, as we’ve known it for the last 30 years, wasn’t built for this.

That’s starting to change.

The Rise of AI-Native Browsers

New browsers like Comet (from Perplexity), Dia (from The Browser Company), Neon (by Opera, currently in alpha stage), and the rumored AI-browser by OpenAI are flipping the script. They don’t treat AI as an add-on. They make it the operating system.

Instead of typing into a search bar, users ask an AI agent. Instead of navigating tabs, they follow AI-curated workflows. The browser becomes an intelligent assistant—not just a window to the internet.

This is a massive leap forward in productivity.

It’s also a massive new attack surface.

The Hidden Risks of Embedded AI

AI-native browsers introduce a new category of risk: embedded AI agents that have deep access to enterprise data.

When an LLM is integrated directly into the browser, it can potentially see and process everything—from SaaS dashboards and internal portals to sensitive documents and proprietary code. And because the experience feels seamless to the user, data exposure can happen unintentionally and invisibly.

Security teams are left with a dilemma:

  • Block AI-native browsers outright, cutting off access to tools that boost efficiency.
  • Allow them, but accept a blind spot where no enterprise controls apply.

Neither is a good option.

Why Enterprise Browsers Don’t Solve This

Vendors like Island and Palo Alto’s SEB offer a tightly controlled browsing experience. But their model depends on replacing the user’s default browser entirely. If a user installs Comet or Dia, these security platforms don’t come along for the ride.

In other words: If you’re not using their browser, you’re not protected.

That’s simply not realistic in a world where users want to explore the next wave of AI tools.

The LayerX Approach: Security That Follows the User

At LayerX, we’ve taken a fundamentally different approach.

Instead of forcing users to switch browsers, we meet them where they already work. LayerX runs as a browser extension—natively inside Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and now: Comet and Dia.

This means:

  • Security controls apply no matter what browser users choose—mainstream or experimental.
  • Admins can monitor AI activity in real time, with visibility into what data is being accessed or shared.
  • Organizations stay in control, without breaking the very workflows that make AI valuable in the first place.

We call this “security without disruption.” And it’s why we’re proud to be the first enterprise browser security company to support the Comet and Dia browsers. Find out more in the Press Release. 

Embracing the Future Without Sacrificing Security

The enterprise world is changing. Productivity is AI-powered. Workflows are browser-based. And innovation moves faster than traditional security models can keep up.

With LayerX, you don’t have to choose between innovation and protection.

You can say yes to Comet.
You can say yes to AI-native workflows.
You can say yes to employee-driven productivity.

And still have the visibility, control, and enforcement you need to protect your data.
