The Solution

LayerX allows organizations to track all file-sharing SaaS apps and online drives and to control user activity in them, to prevent accidental or malicious data leakage.

Shadow SaaS & SaaS Security

The Challenge

Most enterprise applications today are SaaS-based, but organizations lack tools to properly secure SaaS usage or identify unsanctioned ‘shadow’ SaaS apps.

The Solution

LayerX provides full audit of all SaaS applications and users in the organization, and applies granular, risk-based guardrails over all SaaS usage.

Secure Access by BYOD/ Contractors

The Challenge

Organizations have no control over remote SaaS access by remote users and 3rd-party contractors from unmanaged devices / BYOD.

The Solution

LayerX can be deployed on both managed or unmanaged devices to enable browser-based last-mile control over SaaS access to corporate resources by any user.

VDI Reduction

The Challenge

FAQs

How does the LayerX Browser Security Platform work?

LayerX is installed as a browser extension that scans every web page and individual object as they are rendered. It leverages advanced AI-based algorithms and neural networks to detect and block threats in real time, ensuring web content is secure before it reaches the user.

What is an SWG solution, and how does LayerX fit into this category?

SWG (Secure Web Gateway) solutions filter and monitor web traffic to block malicious content. LayerX acts as a modern alternative by deploying a browser extension that analyzes content directly within the browser, offering proactive, real-time protection without traditional network-based limitations.

What types of threats can LayerX block?

LayerX is designed to detect and stop a variety of web-based threats, including web exploits, phishing attacks, credential theft, and even zero-hour vulnerabilities—threats that may not yet be identified by traditional SWG feeds.

Does LayerX affect the user browsing experience?

No. LayerX is engineered to operate with minimal impact on browser performance. Genuine user activities remain unrestricted, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted browsing experience while maintaining robust security.

How does LayerX handle encrypted web traffic and other modern web challenges?

By inspecting web content directly in the browser, LayerX overcomes challenges posed by encryption, certificate pinning, and in-app encryption. This direct approach ensures that even encrypted threats are analyzed and blocked if malicious.

Can LayerX be deployed alongside traditional SWG solutions?

Yes, LayerX can complement existing SWG solutions by providing an additional layer of security. It can also serve as a standalone solution, offering flexible deployment options tailored to your organization’s needs.

Which web browsers are compatible with LayerX?

LayerX supports all common commercial browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, as well as any Chromium-based independent browsers like Arc and Brave.

What are the key benefits of using LayerX over traditional SWG solutions?

LayerX offers real-time, in-browser threat detection using AI-powered analysis, which allows it to block emerging and zero-hour threats immediately. This proactive security model, combined with minimal performance impact, makes it an effective alternative or supplement to traditional SWG products.

How is LayerX deployed in an enterprise environment?

LayerX is deployed as a browser extension, making it easy to roll out across an organization. This method simplifies installation, centralized management, and enforcement of security policies directly at the browser level.

What advanced technologies power LayerX’s threat detection?

LayerX utilizes advanced AI algorithms and neural networks to continuously analyze web content in real time. These technologies enable it to identify even sophisticated threats, including zero-day vulnerabilities, ensuring up-to-date protection.

How quickly does LayerX detect and block threats?

LayerX performs real-time scanning as web pages are rendered, meaning it can block threats instantly – often before they are even recognized by traditional SWG feeds.

Is LayerX suitable for organizations with high security requirements?

Absolutely. Designed for enterprise use, LayerX offers robust, proactive protection that meets stringent security standards. Its advanced threat detection capabilities make it ideal for organizations seeking to secure their web traffic comprehensively.

What makes LayerX a proactive security solution?

LayerX’s proactive approach stems from its continuous, real-time analysis of web content using AI. This allows it to detect and block threats—including new and evolving ones—as soon as they appear, rather than relying on periodically updated threat feeds.

How does LayerX help organizations enforce their security policies?

By integrating directly with the browser, LayerX enforces security policies at the point of content rendering. This ensures that only safe web content is displayed, while centralized management tools allow administrators to set and maintain consistent security standards across all users.
