Safe Web Browsing · Powered by DefensX

Every click, every login, every download — protected in the browser

The browser is where your team works all day: email, banking, vendor portals, cloud apps. It's also where phishing pages, malicious downloads and stolen passwords do their damage. DefensX protects the browser itself — and shows you, in real numbers, where your people are at risk.

The Problem

Attackers don't need to break in when an employee logs them in

A fake login page, a reused password, a "free" browser extension, a file downloaded from the wrong site. None of these look like an attack to the person doing them — and most security tools never see them, because they happen inside the browser.

Reused passwords

One password used on a shopping site and on Microsoft 365 means one breach unlocks both.

Credential stuffing
Fake login pages

Pixel-perfect copies of Microsoft, banking or vendor portals that capture whatever is typed into them.

Credential phishing
Risky downloads & add-ons

Installers, archives and browser extensions that quietly read pages, steal sessions or install malware.

Malware & data exposure
How It Works

Five layers of protection between your team and a bad website

DefensX works at the DNS level and inside the browser through a lightweight extension. Nothing changes in how people work — they just stop landing in the wrong places.

1

Filter

Malicious, phishing and inappropriate domains are blocked before the page even loads.

DNS & category filtering
2

Inspect

Links, pages and browser extensions are checked against reputation and risk in real time.

Browser protection
3

Guard credentials

If a company password is typed into an unknown or fake site, it's stopped in the moment.

Credential protection
4

Isolate

Risky or unknown sites can be opened in an isolated cloud container — nothing touches the device.

Remote browser isolation
5

Measure

Every month, behavior is scored so ECSG can fix the real weak spots, not guess at them.

Human risk scoring · vCISO

Result: the browser stops being the easiest way into your business.

Measure What Matters · The vCISO Report

A credit score for your company's cyber habits

Most businesses have no idea how risky their people's online behavior really is. DefensX measures it continuously and turns it into a Cyber Resilience Score — so you can see progress month after month.

Real Findings

What one month of DefensX revealed at one company

These are real numbers from a single month at one ECSG client with 41 users. None of this was visible before.

50

Breached passwords in use

Websites where employees were logging in with passwords already exposed in public data breaches — including business portals and vendor accounts.

→ Users notified to change them
47

Weak passwords detected

Websites — including Microsoft logins and shipping accounts — where short or simple passwords were being used.

→ Password policy and training
33

New sites with company logins

Websites where users entered passwords for the first time that month. 12 of them received weak passwords.

→ Visibility you didn't have before
14

High-risk links blocked

Times a user followed a link to a known high-risk web page. DefensX blocked every one of them.

✓ Blocked automatically
3

Risky downloads flagged

Installers and archives downloaded from the web were flagged for review before they became a problem.

→ Reviewed by ECSG
2

Low-reputation browser extensions

Add-ons installed in the browser that DefensX rated as low reputation — the kind that can read everything on a page.

→ Flagged for removal

Plus 4,300+ visits blocked by company policy that month — mostly social media and ad-tracking sites during work hours.

What's Included

The tools inside your protection — explained in plain English

Configured, tuned and monitored by ECSG, by group, by role and by risk level.

DNS & Category Filtering

Block the bad parts of the internet

Malicious domains, phishing infrastructure, adult content, gambling and dozens of other risk categories are filtered by policy.

Why it matters: most threats are stopped before a page ever loads.
Credential Protection

Your passwords stay where they belong

Detects when a corporate password is typed into a non-corporate or fake site, and stops it in the moment.

Why it matters: a phishing page only works if someone types into it.
Password Hygiene Monitoring

Find weak and breached passwords

Identifies where weak, reused or already-breached passwords are being used — without anyone filling out a survey.

Why it matters: reused passwords are how one breach becomes many.
Remote Browser Isolation

Open risky sites safely

Unknown or risky sites are rendered in an isolated cloud container. The user sees the page; the device never touches the code.

Why it matters: even a zero-day web exploit has nothing to infect.
File Transfer Protection

Control downloads and uploads

Risky downloads are flagged or blocked, and uploads of company files to unapproved sites can be controlled.

Why it matters: stops malware coming in — and your data going out.
Extension Reputation

No sketchy browser add-ons

Every installed browser extension is rated. Low-reputation add-ons are flagged so they can be removed.

Why it matters: a malicious extension can read every page, including your email.
Security Groups

Different rules for different teams

Policies are applied by group — department, role or risk level — instead of configuring every user one by one.

Why it matters: accounting and marketing don't need the same internet.
Custom URL Groups

Your vendors, always reachable

Allow and block lists built for your business — the portals, suppliers and tools your team actually uses.

Why it matters: security that never gets in the way of real work.
Zero Trust Access

Secure access without a VPN

Remote and hybrid users reach internal apps securely, with the same protection as in the office.

Why it matters: your team is protected wherever they work.
Part of a Bigger Stack

The browser layer catches what gets past email

  • Email Threat Protection (Proofpoint) stops most phishing before it arrives. When a link gets through, DefensX is waiting at the click.
  • Endpoint Protection (SentinelOne) stops anything malicious that still makes it onto the device.
  • Security Awareness Training uses the risk scores to train the people who need it most.

Questions Decision-Makers Ask

Frequently asked questions

Can DefensX see my employees' passwords?

The reports show where weak or breached passwords are being used and how risky the behavior is — not the passwords themselves. The goal is to fix risky habits, not to collect credentials.

Is this about monitoring employees?

It's about measuring risk. Scores and policies help ECSG target training and protection where they're needed. We help you set clear, transparent policies so your team knows how the internet is protected at work.

Will it block sites my team needs?

Policies are built around your business. Vendor portals and tools your team relies on go into custom allow lists, and different departments can have different rules.

Does it work for remote and hybrid employees?

Yes. Protection lives in the browser and at the DNS level, so it follows the user — at the office, at home or on public Wi-Fi.

How is this different from the firewall's web filtering?

The firewall protects devices inside the office network. DefensX protects the person in the browser, wherever they are — and adds credential protection, password hygiene, extension control and human risk scoring that a firewall can't provide.
