“A solid browser security tool will help to harden browser settings, monitor and control the usage of extensions and plug-ins,” said VimalRaj Sampathkumar, technical head for UK and Ireland at ManageEngine. “This filters websites that are appropriate for work, and isolates malicious files, securing organizations from browser-based cyberattacks”.
A strong browser security strategy can prevent cyberattacks by removing high-risk add-ons, extensions, and plug-ins. Using management tools ensures compliance by hardening browser settings and identifying vulnerabilities, according to Sampathkumar.
Suzan Sakarya, senior manager, EMEA security strategy at web security vendor Jamf told Computerworld that browser management helps security teams avoid some of the headaches associated with administering browser extensions.
