Complete Visibility of Extension Installations and Usage

The LayerX management console displays key information about each extension, such as the extension’s users, permission scope, category, installation type, source, and more. This allows security and IT managers to get a full view of all existing and new extensions and whether they need to address any extension security issues

Granular, Risk-Based Enforcement Options

Unlike other solutions that enforce extension security using manual blocklists based on the extension ID, LayerX offers an automated approach based on the risk classification of each extension. These risk indicators are used in creating adaptive, riskbased enforcement policies, allowing organizations to create tailored security policies with a range of enforcement options ranging from monitoring only, to warning users with customizable messages, to outright disabling existing extensions or preventing the installation of new ones.
