ManageEngine has launched an endpoint solution for browser-based cyber attacks to help companies secure their corporate data in the Cloud and protect their networks from Web-based threats.
Called the “Browser Security Plus,” it is now available for organizations to have a layer of management capabilities for browsers and their add-ons to maintain robust enterprise security.
“For the longest time, browsers have been considered just another application,” said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, vice president of ManageEngine.
“With cloud applications pivoting the way business is done, browsers have become endpoints in and of themselves, capable of achieving functionalities of a number of native applications put together,” he added.
Browser Security Plus allows enterprises to enhance network health by preventing, detecting and fixing any browser vulnerabilities.
As of the first quarter of this year, browsers have accounted for 23.47 percent of exploit attacks, Statista said.
This has a serious impact on business security as attackers take advantage of unsecured browsers and Web applications to create lasting effects.
Helping address this issue, ManageEngine has developed a comprehensive browser management solution that can secure multiple browsers—Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Edge—used in Windows environments.
Per Net Market Share, 88.18 percent of desktops worldwide run on Windows. Google Chrome accounts for 63.37 percent; Firefox, 10.62 percent; Microsoft Internet Explorer, 13.46 percent; and Edge, 4.86 percent.
“By managing browsers the same way they manage endpoints like desktops and mobile devices, enterprises can seal their network from possible attacks at its most used threshold,” Venkatachalam said.
Cyberhygiene practices implemented in Browser Security Plus include compliance, policy deployment, add-on management and browser isolation.
This new offering by ManageEngine covers all critical aspects of securing a browser, from obtaining visibility, enforcing security policies and controlling access to ensuring compliance with enforced policies.
The company also plans to extend its browser management capabilities to macOS, followed by other operating systems in the near future.
Price points start at $12 per license annually. A fully functional, 30-day trial is also available as well as the free edition for start-ups and small and medium businesses to manage up to 25 computers.
Being an information-technology management company under Zoho Corp., ManageEngine has offices worldwide, including the United States, the Netherlands, India, Singapore, Japan and China.
