LayerX or Seraphic Enterprise Solution?

LayerX secures the native browser you already use with a lightweight extension, so nothing about the browsing stack changes.
Seraphic inserts a JavaScript emulation layer plus an endpoint agent that intercepts every page render. That emulation layer creates blind spots (e.g., modern apps that rely on dynamic DOM updates), breaks site functionality, and slows performance. With LayerX, there’s no emulation, no separate “secure mode,” and no parallel browser to maintain – just airtight protection inside the browser your workforce already trusts.

Yes. Seraphic must re-render each page in its emulated engine, which often struggles with JavaScript-heavy, single-page, and multimedia sites. Customers report broken widgets, malfunctioning forms, and sluggish video playback. LayerX runs inside the native browser engine, so every feature, such as WebGL, WebRTC, live collaboration or streaming continues to work exactly as intended.

LayerX adds near-zero latency (sub-millisecond policy checks) and requires no extra processes or proxies. Seraphic’s two-step render-and-replay process introduces measurable delays on every navigation and increases CPU/RAM usage because the agent must rewrite DOM elements in real time. Bottom line: LayerX is invisible; Seraphic feels like an overlay.

Seraphic focuses on traditional web-borne exploits and relies on static heuristics for detection, so it offers limited visibility into business logic risks such as GenAI misuse, copy-paste leaks, or unsanctioned SaaS uploads. LayerX applies context-aware AI to inspect user intent (prompt content, data sensitivity, session context) and enforce granular DLP, extension control, and GenAI guardrails in real time.

Seraphic: Install an OS-level agent, push a browser-specific add-on, whitelist network traffic, and keep both pieces updated across every OS build.

LayerX: Deploy a single browser extension via Google Workspace, Microsoft Intune, Jamf, or any MDM in minutes, with no reboots and no OS privileges.

Yes. LayerX’s extension runs in any employee-owned browser, giving full visibility and control even on contractor laptops or kiosks. Seraphic’s agent typically requires local install permissions (or an IT-managed image), which is often impossible on unmanaged endpoints.

LayerX inspects only security-relevant events (data entry, downloads, sensitive URLs) and anonymizes benign activity, so day-to-day browsing remains private. Seraphic’s instrumentation must log all DOM mutations to fuel its heuristics, which can expose more user data than necessary and increases compliance overhead.

CASBs rely on vendor APIs, so coverage varies by application and stops at the API boundary – leaving unmanaged and shadow SaaS untouched. LayerX sits in the browser, where every SaaS interaction occurs, giving you the same granular control for sanctioned and unsanctioned apps, regardless of API maturity.

LayerX continuously validates cookie integrity, detects anomalous JavaScript injections, and blocks credential autofill on phishing domains. Seraphic’s heuristic model can flag known attack patterns but lacks real-time identity context, so sophisticated token-theft or OAuth abuse can slip through.

Firewalls and SWGs filter network traffic; modern threats exploit browser APIs and user workflows after the packet is delivered (e.g., drive-by extensions, GenAI prompt injections, in-browser session hijacks). LayerX enforces policy inside the browser process itself, where the attack actually lands, giving you a last-mile control point that perimeter tools simply can’t reach.

A browser security platform is a new cyber security product category that acknowledges the critical role browsers have in today’s IT environments. These products address all the risks and threats to the browser’s data, the device it runs on, or SaaS apps that access through it, in a centralized manner. Continuous monitoring, risk analysis, and policy enforcement on user activities focus on the browser itself, where the activity actually takes place, rather than applying it to mere network traffic, which is inherently limited in the data and context it can provide.

A firewall flags malicious web destinations based on their hostname/URL and is blind to the content of each web page itself. This approach lags behind the rapid and dynamic nature of modern web phishing. As a result many malicious pages can evade it. Attackers nowadays abuse cloud services and SaaS applications in order to distribute phishing and malware. A firewall simply doesn’t have the required visibility into the various components that indicate if a website is malicious or not. LayerX scans the webpage’s content and applies AI analysis to detect malicious attributes, yielding a far higher success rate.

LayerX is a browser-agnostic security platform, delivered as a lightweight extension that aggregates all activity data for monitoring and risk analysis purposes to enforce secure access and browsing. With LayerX, security teams configure activity policies to prevent risky user activities in the browser that can expose apps, devices, and data to risk of compromise or data loss. Once an activity policy is activated, the LayerX cloud service pushes it to the extension that performs the actual enforcement on the browser. The extension has three functionalities: processing activity data and reporting to the cloud service, receiving policies from the cloud service and enforcing it, and analyzing risk together with the cloud service. Layer X integrates with identity management tools and zero trust access systems to ensure minimal overhead for security teams and efficient use of their time.
