Securing User Interactions Without Any Network Complexity
Netskope SASE/SSE is a network-centric security platform that relies on proxies, traffic steering, connectors, and SSL decryption to inspect activity after it leaves the browser. This approach creates blind spots for in-browser user actions, adds latency, and increases deployment and operational complexity.
LayerX takes a browser-native approach, securing last-mile user activity directly inside the browser runtime itself. Delivered as a lightweight browser extension, LayerX provides full visibility and enforcement across SaaS, AI tools, websites, and identities without proxies, decryption, agents, or routing changes.
Netskope sees network traffic, not what users actually do inside the browser. Actions like copy/paste, form fills, AI prompts, keystrokes, and DOM-based attacks are inconsistently detected or missed entirely unless traffic is routed through the right proxy path.
Core protections such as DLP, file inspection, and identity detection require SSL decryption, which breaks certificate-pinned apps, adds latency, and raises privacy and compliance concerns.
DLP enforcement depends on connector type, app support, and character thresholds, resulting in uneven protection across SaaS apps, GenAI tools, and websites.
Netskope requires agents, proxies, CASB connectors, traffic steering rules, and ongoing tuning, making deployments slow, fragile, and costly to maintain.
LayerX secures user actions directly inside the browser, including copy/paste, uploads, prompts, keystrokes, screenshots, and DOM activity across all apps and identities.
All inspection happens locally in the browser, eliminating traffic detours, SSL decryption, app breakage, and performance impact.
LayerX enforces content-aware policies everywhere, including shadow SaaS and personal accounts, with support for real-time redaction instead of blunt allow-or-block decisions.
Delivered as a lightweight browser extension, LayerX deploys in minutes and removes the operational complexity of network-based SSE stacks.
