In today’s digital landscape, web-based threats pose significant risks to organizations of all sizes. We’re excited to announce Browser Phishing Protection, a powerful browser extension designed to protect your employees from online threats and provide a secure, seamless browsing experience.
What is Browser Phishing Protection?
Browser Phishing Protection is a comprehensive security solution that goes beyond traditional IP and domain-based protection. This browser extension acts as a shield against various web-based threats, effectively:
- Blocking dangerous advertisements
- Identifying and preventing access to malicious sites
- Stopping sophisticated phishing attempts
- Eliminating intrusive tracking scripts
Key Benefits
Comprehensive web protection
The extension employs both signature-based threat detection and advanced heuristics to identify and block threats. This multi-layered approach significantly reduces the risk of credential theft, malware infections, and IT overhead.
Improved visibility
With Browser Phishing Protection, you gain valuable insights into the threats your users encounter while browsing. All detections appear in the Detections Summary report and Detections notifications, enabling quick action when security incidents arise.

Browser Phishing Protection will be included in the Core, Advanced, Elite, and Ultimate bundles for Nebula customers and OneView upfront customers, as well as EP/EDR for OneView Usage customers. Note that it will not be available for a-la-carte Nebula customers.
