Why AI Risk Lives in the Browser
AI is rapidly becoming embedded in everyday work. Whether through assistants like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini, SaaS platforms with built-in LLMs, or a new wave of AI-native browsers like Comet and Dia, the browser is now the default interface for most enterprise AI interaction.
But with this convenience comes risk:
- Sensitive data exposure to unvetted or unauthorized AI tools
- Uploading corporate content via unmanaged personal accounts
- Retention of business data in LLM storage outside company control
- Regulatory violations tied to uncontrolled AI access
Since virtually all AI usage occurs in the browser, enterprises need security controls that operate at the browser layer, where risks originate and can be stopped in real time.
“We believe that being recognized in market categories related to both secure browsing and AI data security validates our belief that securing the browser is the only scalable way to manage the evolving risks introduced by AI,” said Or Eshed, CEO of LayerX. “We’re proud to deliver AI-aware browser security that empowers productivity without compromising data.”
LayerX: Built for the AI-Powered Enterprise
LayerX is purpose-built to secure browser-based work. Unlike vendors such as Island, which force a migration to a proprietary browser and restrict usage, LayerX delivers full coverage on any browser, including AI-native browsers like Comet and Dia, via a lightweight, enterprise-grade extension that doesn’t impact the user experience or disrupt productivity.
This approach enables organizations to:
- Detect and control AI usage in real time across all browser environments
- Prevent data leakage without restricting user productivity
- Maintain security visibility even as browser innovation evolves
LayerX’s dual recognition in the Secure Enterprise Browsers and the AI Usage Control categories reflects its unmatched ability to protect the browser as the frontline of AI and data security.
