30% of exploits are via web browsers. How vulnerable is your business?
You might be aware that Google recently warned all Mac and Windows users to urgently update their Chrome Brower, due to a security bug that could let hackers hijack their computer.
When such scenarios arise, immediately installing the patch or updating the version, is such a reactive approach to securing systems. There is so much reliance on vendors to help secure our applications.
Having a solution to pro-actively monitor browsers and adding an extra layer of security would be ideal. This is even more vital now that over 30% of exploits are through Chrome, IE, Firefox, etc.
Web browsers can be breached in the following ways:
- Operating system is breached, and malware is reading/modifying the browser’s memory space in privilege mode.
- Main browser executable can be hacked.
- Browser components can be hacked.
- Browser plugins can be hacked.
- Browser network communications can be intercepted outside the machine.
The browser may not be aware of any of these breaches, and may show users a safe connection is made.
Browser Security Plus helps IT administrators manage and secure browsers across networks. It enables them to enforce security policies, control browser extensions /plug-ins, sandbox and lockdown enterprise browsers and ensure compliance with stipulated browser configurations.
