Introduction to Browser Security

Browser Security protects organizations from web-based threats by enforcing security controls directly within supported browsers. As the primary interface for cloud applications, file sharing, and GenAI platforms, the browser is a critical control point, making it essential for preventing data loss and blocking exposure to malicious content.

Browser Security helps organizations:

• Control access to websites, applications, and GenAI platforms based on policy.

• Protect users from phishing, malicious websites, and unsafe web activity.

• Prevent data loss by restricting uploads, downloads, pasting, or sharing through the browser.

• Maintain productivity by applying consistent security policies Collection of rules that control network traffic and enforce organization guidelines for data protection and access to resources with packet inspection. without disrupting workflows.

• Gain visibility into browser activity through centralized event monitoring.

• Manage resources by defining internal web assets used across security policies.

To use Browser Security, follow these steps:

1. Register to the Check Point Portal (see Creating an Account in the Check Point Portal).

2. Access the Browser Security Administrator Portal (see Accessing the Browser Security Administrator Portal).

3. Download the Browser Security clients (see Downloading Browser Security Client).

4. Create the Browser Security policies (see Configuring Browser Security Policy).

Browser Security Capabilities

Browser Security policy management is built on three independent but complementary control layers:

• Access Control - Defines which websites, applications, categories, or GenAI platforms users are permitted to access.

• Secure Browsing - Controls in browser protections such as phishing prevention, password reuse protection, safe search, and safe reputation.

• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) - Prevents sensitive data from being exposed during web interactions, covering actions like uploads, downloads, paste, and copy.

Each capability has its own policy set and rule Set of traffic parameters and other conditions in a Rule Base (Security Policy) that cause specified actions to be taken for a communication session. evaluation logic -all sharing a consistent rule framework.
