How Chrome browser can play a central role in your enterprise security strategy

Browsers as a Strategic Security Tool, Many people underestimate their browsers, thinking they are merely portals to the internet. But browsers have evolved into sophisticated platforms. They compile and execute scripts and code, help users efficiently search and navigate the web and their applications, deliver rich, immersive experiences that blend text, images, audio, video, and virtual reality, and seamlessly integrate multiple apps and extensions.

Browsers already have many features to enhance network and endpoint security. In fact, browsers are uniquely situated to become a strategic layer in enterprise security. They lie at the point where the web, users, and applications come together.

They are perfectly positioned to:

• Interact with users in real time and guide them away from dangerous behaviors.
• Enforce user-centric security policies on endpoints.
• Support endpoint security across devices and operating systems, simply and consistently.

In this paper we will explore how browsers are able to perform these three functions, with examples from Google Chrome browser.
