The browser is now the primary workspace for the enterprise and one of the fastest-growing attack surfaces for data leakage, insider threats, and shadow IT activity.
Two very different models promise to secure this layer:
-
Enterprise Browsers: full replacements for the user’s browser, designed for maximum control.
-
Enterprise Browser Extensions: security layers that integrate directly into the browsers employees already use and trust.
In this guide, we put Island and LayerX, leading examples of each approach, through nine real-world scenarios, from GenAI usage to BYOD and Zero Trust, to see how they compare in coverage, control, and day-to-day usability.
Inside the guide:
-
Nine critical “rounds” of evaluation: usability, data protection, BYOD, productivity, management overhead, remote access, Zero Trust, supply chain security, and future-readiness.
-
See how each approach performs in real-world situations, from securing GenAI usage to managing unmanaged devices.
-
Understand the trade-offs between control depth and coverage, so you can choose the model that aligns with your environment.
