Ermes Browser Security Platform
Browser extension stopping zero-day phishing and GenAI data leaks, no VPN or proxy needed.
Ermes Browser Security Platform Overview
What it does
Ermes Browser Security Platform is a browser extension that adds a security layer between the browser engine and web content, inspecting and blocking malicious pages, scripts, and risky extensions in real time. Unlike network proxies or remote browser isolation, it runs on-device inside the user's existing Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari browser, with no VPN, SSL inspection, or proxy infrastructure. The platform pairs browser session protection with real-time control over what employees share with generative AI tools.
How it works
The extension delivers three protection layers. SESSION Protection enforces web Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies on clipboard actions and file uploads, protects business credentials, vets browser extensions, and applies AI-based web filtering. AI Based Protection pairs a Neural Engine inside the extension with an AI web crawler analyzing 300+ attributes of newly registered domains to block zero-day phishing, cybersquatting, malvertising, and trackers. A Contextual DLP layer uses large language model analysis to block or mask sensitive data shared with generative AI tools, and a browsing risk cockpit aligned with NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 exports to SIEM and SOAR platforms.
Credentials and traction
Ermes Cyber Security holds ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 certifications alongside ISO 9001 and the Cybersecurity Made in Europe label. Cited in Gartner's Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Security (2023) and Hype Cycle for Endpoint Security (2023). The platform protects more than 100,000 devices for European enterprises including KPMG, Carrefour, TIM, IVECO, IBSA, and Bonelli Erede, sells through the AWS, Microsoft, and Google marketplaces, and runs a government-funded AI research partnership with Politecnico di Torino.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesEnforces per-application data controls inside the browser session, including copy and paste, download, upload, printing, and screenshot restrictions plus data obfuscation and watermarking of displayed content, without an endpoint agent or in-line traffic decryption.
Hardens the browser by restricting unauthorized JavaScript execution, disabling risky functionality such as developer tools, and protecting session tokens and cookies.
Inventories the extensions installed across managed and unmanaged browsers, risk-profiles each one by permissions, publisher, and behavior, and enforces allow, block, or remove policies, so malicious or over-privileged extensions such as credential harvesters and keyloggers cannot run in enterprise sessions.
Protects web browsing with malware protection and URL filtering.
Discovers, risk-scores, and enforces policy on workforce use of AI in the browser, covering GenAI web tools, AI browsing agents, full AI browsers, and AI features inside conventional browsers, including restricting which are allowed and blocking sensitive data from being pasted, uploaded, or acted on by an agent.
Detects and inventories SaaS apps accessed through the browser that are not sanctioned or registered with the IdP, surfacing unmanaged app usage for IT governance and access control decisions.
Detects and blocks phishing pages and credential theft in the browser, including newly created lookalike domains that reputation blocklists have not yet caught, and prevents enterprise credentials from being entered or reused on unsanctioned external sites.
Discovers and categorizes the organization's use of third-party AI, whether consumed as a service, installed locally, or embedded inside other applications, building a continuously updated inventory of AI usage including shadow AI.
Defines organizational AI usage policies and enforces them at the point of use - allowing, blocking, redirecting, or constraining specific AI services, models, and features per user, group, or data context.
Inspects prompts, uploads, and AI-generated responses for sensitive data across modalities, preventing exposure of regulated or proprietary information to third-party AI services.
