A modern secure browser, your first and easiest step toward improving your security posture and improving productivity.

Often overlooked, your browser’s security is at the crux of your organization’s productivity. The browser has become a critical access point for employees, connecting them to the information and advanced tools they need to be productive and innovate as they create new applications that will move your organization forward to compete. Instead of managing a fleet of at-risk and reactive endpoints, organizations need to look to a modern browser to take control of these threats and secure their endpoints, like many do with Chrome .

Chrome became the most widely used browser across the world in 2012, according to StatCounter Global Stats. For phishing and identity breach protection Chrome looks to Safe Browsing as the first line of defense. Its built-in warnings and notifications help proactively prevent users from visiting infected sites.

Enabling the Password Alert Policy in Chrome protects users from falling prey to corporate data breaches or identity theft due to the reuse of their corporate passwords on other sites. Security Keys are also available to integrate with Chrome as well as to help ensure that a physical piece of hardware is required to login, preventing unauthorized access in the event your password is compromised.

Chrome works to contain ransomware and other types of malware attacks, with sand-boxing and site isolation to isolate each user session to contain potential threats before they spread. While blacklisting and white listing policies help you to enforce policies across a wide range of criteria to control which types of websites, apps and extensions can be accessed by users, so you’re still having that ability to manage your users’ browser policies where and when you want to. A secure by design strategy is in this browser’s DNA, with auto updates that automatically run security updates constantly, in the background, protecting your users without getting in their way while they’re working.
