Ermes Browser Security Platform

Ermes Browser Security Platform is an AI-powered browser protection solution founded in 2017 as a spin-off from Polytechnic University of Turin, delivering real-time threat detection through behavioral analysis rather than traditional reputation-based approaches. The platform operates as a lightweight browser extension that establishes an abstraction layer between the browser engine and external code, utilizing patented AI algorithms to examine and block web connections in real-time, reducing the threat exposure window from days to just two minutes and achieving 99% web protection with 25% improvement over leading market solutions.

The platform addresses critical browser-based threats including zero-day phishing attacks, credential theft, malicious browser extensions, malvertising, tracking, cybersquatting, and data loss through modular protection capabilities including Browser Extension Protection, Advanced URL Filtering, Business Credentials Protection, Zero-Day Phishing Protection, and Generative AI Protection. Ermes operates on-device without requiring VPN infrastructure, making it ideal for hybrid and remote work environments while reducing network bandwidth consumption by 30%, and integrates seamlessly with existing security ecosystems through native connections with SIEM and XDR platforms with deployment via MDM for rapid enterprise adoption.

Founded in Turin, Italy, Ermes has raised €7.5 million in funding led by Sinergia Venture Fund and protects over 30,000 users at enterprise customers including KPMG, Carrefour, Reale Mutua, and Bonelli Erede. The company is ISO 27001 certified and has been recognized by Gartner as one of only 15 companies worldwide leading browser security, the only Italian and European vendor in the Browser Security category, and among the top 100 organizations using artificial intelligence to defend against cyberattacks.
