Q & A

What is LX and what does it do?

LX is a browser security platform that integrates with popular browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, as well as chromium-based browsers like Brave and Arc. It helps enterprises protect against risks such as data leakage, account takeovers, and identity threats by providing comprehensive browser security and policy enforcement.

Which browsers does LX integrate with?

LX integrates with Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and other chromium-based browsers such as Brave, Arc, and Tor.

How does LX help enterprises protect against data leakage?

LX prevents data leakage by enforcing strict policies on user activities such as blocking file uploads to unauthorized services or restricting sensitive information from being copied and pasted into risky applications. It also provides visibility into browser-based user activities to track potential risks.

Can LX be easily deployed in an enterprise environment?

Yes, LX is easy to deploy using any Mobile Device Management (MDM) system and integrates with leading Identity Providers (IDPs) to quickly get started in an existing IT environment.

What happens if a user tries to disable or uninstall LX?

LX has deep anti-tampering capabilities that prevent users from uninstalling or disabling the platform. This ensures that security is consistently enforced across all user devices.

How does LX monitor browser-based user activities?

LX provides a discovery dashboard that offers visibility into all browser-based user activities across the organization. It tracks user actions, applications, accounts, extensions, browsers, and devices, providing detailed information to help manage and mitigate risks.

What types of policies can LX enforce on browser activity?

LX can create policies that are event-based, site-specific, or category-based. These policies can control various user activities such as browsing, logins, uploads, downloads, and even copy-pasting content. For example, LX can block pasting of source code into Gen AI websites.

How does LX prevent risky browser extensions from compromising security?

LX audits all browser extensions, evaluating their risk based on parameters like permissions, scope, and version. It assigns risk scores and can warn users or completely block high-risk extensions that could access sensitive information such as credentials and access tokens.

What does LX’s AI-powered protection engine do?

LX’s AI-powered protection engine performs real-time analysis of every code element on a webpage, blocking malicious pages or individual code elements such as phishing scripts, malware, and credential theft attempts, thus preventing web-based attacks.

How does LX handle file uploads based on user identity?

LX allows or blocks file uploads based on the user's identity. For example, if a user is logged in with a corporate identity, they can upload files to services like Google Drive. However, if they are logged in with a personal identity (e.g., Gmail), LX blocks the file upload to prevent unauthorized sharing of corporate data.

Can LX prevent malicious websites from attacking enterprise users?

Yes, LX uses its AI-powered engine to detect and block malicious websites in real-time. It can block sophisticated attacks, such as phishing and malware attempts, that may bypass traditional defense layers like secure web gateways.
