With small and midsize businesses adopting the cloud with ever-increasing speed, web browsers have evolved beyond simple browsing tools. Today, they are mission-critical applications that provide access to sensitive systems and data. As Dark Reading pointed out, “browser security [is] at the forefront of organizational cybersecurity concerns,” yet browsers remain vulnerable due to widespread use across varied environments. Thankfully, Atakama provides a path to managed browser security.
As businesses increasingly rely on web browsers, security teams face the difficult task of managing security across multiple browsers. Atakama’s Managed Browser Security Platform makes it easier for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to ensure consistent browser security across their clients’ environments.
The platform enables MSPs to:
Atakama takes web security to the next level with its innovative DNS over HTTPS (DoH) feature. This powerful tool provides real-time scanning and protection from most web-based threats. By offering both traditional DNS services and in-browser protection, Atakama serves as a direct replacement and upgrade to current DNS point solutions, giving MSPs granular control over web traffic and enhanced security for end-users and data.
Scanning and disabling malicious links
Atakama’s DNS security and content filtering feature actively scans entire URL strings for malicious content, disabling dangerous links before they can cause harm.
Phishing protection
With phishing attacks on the rise, Atakama provides a critical layer of defense. It filters out phishing websites in real time, blocking access to sites designed to steal credentials or sensitive information.
In-browser filtering by content categories
MSPs can block websites based on threats, such as those hosting malware and phishing content, and based on specific categories, such as adult. This ensures end-users access only safe, business-approved web resources.
Upload and download control
When it comes to non-business applications, Atakama can prevent the unauthorized downloading of files and uploading of information.
URL-level policy enforcement
The platform goes beyond blocking entire domains; it allows MSPs to enforce policies at the URL level, restricting access to specific pages while allowing others. This granular control is crucial for businesses that need restricted access to certain web resources for legitimate purposes.
Blocking malware communication with C2 servers
Atakama's DoH also prevents malware from communicating with command-and-control (C2) servers. Even if malware infiltrates a device, it won't be able to exfiltrate data or receive instructions from threat actors.
Comprehensive browser control
Atakama provides control over access to prohibited websites, protecting endpoints even when non-Atakama browsers are used. This ensures full security integrity for guest devices and organizations with varying browser strategies.
Protecting IoT and network devices
The platform extends its protection to IoT and other network-connected devices, preventing them from accessing malicious domains and becoming weak points in the network.
Defense against DNS cache poisoning and DNS tunneling
Atakama shields organizations from advanced threats like DNS cache poisoning and DNS tunneling attacks. By encrypting DNS queries and responses, it ensures that malicious actors cannot intercept or redirect traffic, protecting both the network and end-users.
In today’s fast-paced work environment, web browsers are indispensable yet inherently complex tools. Atakama’s Managed Browser Security Platform streamlines security management for MSPs, effectively mitigating the risks associated with browser usage in modern business settings.
With features designed to enhance security without disrupting productivity, Atakama provides valuable insights into browser app and user activity, protects important data, and ensures seamless client onboarding with scalable multi-tenant management. Built with input from industry leaders and tailored for MSPs, the platform offers flexible pricing and the power to deliver exceptional value to clients.
