Why
Extension Vetting

In today’s digital landscape, web browsers have become the gateway to a vast array of online activities. However, this convenience comes with inherent risks, especially when users install browser extensions. These extensions, often designed for personal use, can inadvertently introduce security vulnerabilities into the corporate environment.

The challenge lies in identifying and managing these potentially risky extensions. Organizations need a solution that can assess and categorize extensions based on the level of risk they pose, providing administrators with the tools to take decisive action.
