In-Browser Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Most work happens in a browser, and attackers know it. This solution brief from Check Point shows how in-browser DLP, zero-day protection, and GenAI-aware controls help protect data and maintain compliance. Learn how to strengthen security without slowing productivity by downloading the solution brief.
What is Check Point Browser Security and why does it matter now?
Browser Security from Check Point’s SASE is a browser-based security layer delivered as an extension that works across all major browsers. It’s designed for today’s workplace, where about 85% of work now happens in the browser and employees often use remote and BYOD (bring your own device) setups.
Because so much work is browser-based, attackers are increasingly using web channels to launch phishing, malware, credential theft, and data leakage attempts—including through GenAI applications. Traditional perimeter or endpoint tools can struggle to see and control what happens inside the browser, especially on unmanaged or remote devices.
Check Point’s Browser Security addresses this by:
- Running directly in the browser as an extension, on both managed and unmanaged devices
- Shielding users from zero-day phishing, malware, credential theft, and data leakage
- Protecting activity in GenAI apps, where sensitive data is often pasted or uploaded
- Doing this without adding noticeable latency and without forcing users to change their preferred browser
In short, it helps organizations secure where most work actually happens today—the browser—while keeping the user experience familiar and fast.
How does in-browser Data Loss Prevention (DLP) work?
Check Point’s in-browser DLP is built into its Browser Security for SASE and focuses on protecting data at the point where users actually interact with it: inside the browser.
Key ways it works:
1. **Preventing data loss**
- Monitors and controls actions like copy-paste, printing, file uploads, and downloads directly in the browser.
- Helps prevent financial and brand damage by stopping sensitive company information from leaving through web apps, SaaS tools, or GenAI platforms.
2. **Supporting compliance**
- Uses AI-based classification to identify and restrict unstructured data.
- Offers **700 pre-defined data types**, plus custom data types and data type grouping, so you can align controls with regulatory and internal policies.
- Automates enforcement of regulatory compliance policies instead of relying on manual checks.
3. **Maintaining productivity**
- Designed to add protection without adding noticeable latency.
- Works with the browser of the user’s choice, so teams can keep their existing workflows.
4. **Visibility and risk insights**
- Builds an app inventory for usage tracking.
- Provides risk insights based on user behavior, helping security teams understand where data is most at risk.
Overall, in-browser DLP helps organizations protect sensitive data, meet compliance needs, and keep employees productive by controlling risky actions at the browser level rather than blocking entire apps or workflows.
How does Check Point’s SASE simplify and strengthen overall security?
Check Point’s SASE platform is designed to consolidate multiple security and connectivity capabilities into a single, easier-to-manage solution, while keeping performance in mind.
Here’s what it brings together:
1. **Consolidated security controls**
- Browser Security with DLP, zero-day phishing protection, file sanitization, safe search, and corporate password reuse prevention.
- GenAI security, including protection against data leakage and threats that move through GenAI apps.
- A single platform to reduce security tool sprawl and complexity.
2. **Performance and user experience**
- Delivers **2x faster internet security** compared to traditional approaches, helping users stay protected without feeling slowed down.
- Designed with ease-of-use and streamlined management in mind, so IT and security teams can operate it efficiently.
3. **Zero Trust and connectivity**
- Full mesh Private Access with Zero Trust principles, so users get secure access to applications based on identity and context, not just network location.
- Secure SD-WAN with optimized performance, helping connect branches, remote users, and cloud resources securely and efficiently.
By combining browser-level protection, data loss prevention, GenAI security, Zero Trust access, and secure SD-WAN into one SASE platform, organizations can rethink how they secure a browser-first, cloud-first workforce while simplifying operations for their security and network teams.
