It's October, which means fall lattes, pumpkin decorations, Halloween costumes, and of course, lots of beer and cybersecurity awareness! Every October the cybersecurity community proclaims the importance of identifying a phishing email and not falling for the fake boss gift card emails. In the spirit of tasting the latest and greatest Oktoberfest brew (see what we did there with “spirit”), you should also dip your toe into one of the newest areas within the cybersecurity landscape: browser security.

The Browser: A Critical Security Frontline

MSPs often lack visibility into the browser, with DNS and web content filtering offering only high-level protection. However, the browser's attack surface extends far beyond blocking known malicious sites. Atakama’s Managed Browser Security Platform addresses this gap with features like in-browser data masking, password scoring, web app monitoring, native browser settings control, and DNS filtering—providing comprehensive security where it’s needed most.

Atakama is your trusted partner in combating administrative overload. We help MSPs streamline operations, reduce support tickets, and enhance efficiency, all while ensuring client data stays secure. Here’s how we make it happen:

1. Native Browser Security Settings Control
   Turn off the plain text password vault in the browser, disable dev tools, restrict end-user Incognito and InPrivate modes, and auto-delete cookies and cache.
2. Password Scoring & Breach Checking
   Use NIST guidelines to score the strength of passwords. The Atakama platform will also check passwords against known breached passwords and identify shared and reused passwords.
3. Add a Trustmark to Critical Websites
   A watermark on websites that works as a trust mark so that end-users know they are visiting legitimate apps and not spoofed URLs. Use this for any app that contains essential information, such as banking and CRMs to reduce business email compromise attacks.
4. Web App Discovery
   Insights into app usage by category, user, and application and how often a login identity uses an app.
5. DNS and Web Content Filtering
   The Platform delivers detailed in-browser protection and enhanced system-wide DNS with a custom DNS over HTTPS (DoH) infrastructure. Our robust DoH infrastructure delivers fast, stable, and reliable protection through our nationwide Anycast network.
6. In-Browser Data Masking
   Decrease data exfiltration by hiding PII like social security and credit card numbers on the screen. The end-user can conceal or reveal data on an as needed basis instead of unbridled wholesale access.

With Atakama, you're not just protecting today—you’re preparing for tomorrow. The browser is no longer just a minor vulnerability; it’s the frontline of modern security threats. Web apps aren’t the future—they’re the present. It’s time to secure the primary gateway to work: the browser. By doing so, you ensure the future security of your clients. So go ahead and enjoy your Cybersecurity Month brew by trying the newest and most power flavor available on the market.
