Proactively mitigate identity theft

Block adversaries from gaining access to the wide range of credential data that’s stored in your browser, to prevent MFA bypass and potential account takeover.

The LayerX difference: Automated discovery of all risky extensions and real-time monitoring and protection against their malicious activities

LayerX provides IT and security teams with clear insights into any browser extension that introduces a potential threat to the organization. Malicious extensions are the leading method by which adversaries gain access to identity data – passwords, cookies, and MFA tokens. LayerX disrupts this attack vector, materially reducing attackers’ ability to access organizational resources with compromised credentials.

Discover malicious extensions

Discover malicious extensions

  • Configure policies to continuously scan your workforce’s devices for newly installed  browser extensions, determine whether they are allowed, and alert the IT and security teams if a risky extension is in place.

Disable extensions’ malicious activity

  • Disable extensions’ ability to extract credentials or other sensitive data from your workforce’s browsers. These proactive policies ensure that even when malicious  extensions are not yet removed, their ability to cause harm is disabled.
