Security Products

The use of Software as a Service (SaaS) is rapidly escalating due to factors such as accelerated digitalization, the imperative for cost reduction and the widespread adoption of remote work. While SaaS offers accessibility from any location with an internet connection, it simultaneously introduces various security risks, including unauthorized access due to leaked IDs/ Passwords, malware infection, and data leakage from sensitive information uploads. The SecureLayer Browser Extension resolves these critical issues for network administrators.

1. Preventing Malware Infection from Malicious Site Access
   

   The solution analyzes phishing and malware sites, initiating session termination or component incapacitation upon detection. Furthermore, the browser is maintained in secure state through the disabling of risky browser extensions and continuous version checks.

   

2. Shadow IT Identification (SaaS Visibility)
   

   The solution monitors the SaaS applications utilized by personnel and detects Shadow IT instances. Visibility into the usage of SaaS applications and cloud storage is provided, enebling the assessment of utilization status. Furthermore, the functionality allows for the prohibition of access to high-risk SaaS applications and could storage by listing and restricting specific services.

3. Controlling Policy-Violating User Actions (Confidential Data Leakage)
   

   The solution prevents the exfiltration of sensitive data via the browser by blocking file attachments to cloud storage of free email services, and by restricting the pasting of confidential of personally identifiable information (PII) into platforms such as ChatGPT or translation websites.

   

4. Addressing Latency Caused by Browser Isolation or Dedicated Browsers
   

   Because SecureLayer Browser Extension is simply added as a plugin to familiar browsers such as Chrome and Edge, it:

   • Provides a safe browsing environment without degrading user experience
   • Avoids the need to redesign the entire network architecture, as would be required with VDI or similar technologies
   As a result, it can be introduced more easily and at lower cost compared to traditional isolation-based solutions.

User or The SecureLayer Browser Extension represents a next-generation solution that transforms conventional browsers into a security-implemented environment simply by adding it as an extension. The SecureLayer plugin functions by analyzing incoming web page components and transmitting the metadata to the SecureLayer cloud for AI-driven analysis. This process enables the real-time neutralization of suspicious code (e.g., exploit code and malware) within the web page. Simultaneously, the platform blocks user operations that could lead to security incidents and breaches, such as unauthorized SaaS usage and the pasting of confidential or personally identifiable information (PII) into translation sites. Furthermore, it addresses contemporary concerns, including the issue of information leakage via platform like Chat GPT, by implementing user/group-specific access controls and blocking the input of sensitive information into the server.

1. Browser Receives Web page: The conventional browser initiates the receipt of the web page content.
2. Extension Component Analysis: The SecureLayer Browser Extension is loaded and the components of the received web page.
3. Metadata Transmission to Cloud: The analyzed content is transmitted as Metadata to the SecureLayer cloud.
4. Suspicious component Detection: AI and other analytical processes in the cloud detect components exhibiting suspicious behavior.
5. Mitigation Execution: The SecureLayer Browser Extension executes the necessary mitigation actions, such as session termination or component incapacitation.
