Overview

LayerX Platform is an AI-powered tool for enterprise browser security and usage control. Its primary function is to monitor and control all web interactions to help protect digital assets and prevent data leakages.

It offers real-time risk analysis and policy enforcement across all web activity, effectively managing threats related to Generative AI (GenAI) misuse, web-based data leaks, phishing, Shadow software as a service (SaaS), and malicious browser extensions.

The LayerX Platform ensures complete visibility over identities, accounts, applications, data, and user activity in any browser by eliminating blind spots and securing the browser workspace to prevent risks.

It is designed to deploy easily with zero user disruption, supporting all major browsers and providing seamless integration with existing Identity Providers (IdP), Mobile Device Management (MDM), and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems.

Its robust features include user activity tracking, centralized management dashboard, anti-tampering capabilities, and seamless integration with enterprise systems.

To enhance security further, it includes an AI Risk Analysis Engine and a LayerX extension which turns any browser into a secure, policy-enforced workspace by monitoring and controlling user activity in real time.
