Browser controls have protected sensitive data and maintain strong audit-ready compliance
LayerX helps to maintain the IT compliance of the company while also protecting the company's data going over the internet or into the wrong hands, preventing the sharing of data over the internet or any open AI-based application, any third-party software, or sharing the data outside of the company, thereby securing the environment. The best features LayerX offers include the browser extension because many open AI applications are used through the browser, so the extension gives an alert and at the same time stops the sharing of data over the internet, making the extension the best feature. I would also say that LayerX endpoint is excellent if an organization uses it, as it gives an in-depth idea of how the users are sharing the data over the internet, what they are searching, and also helps us to control the device.

Decreased our security alerts without impacting employees' work
I can't say that there is one specific feature that is most valuable. It's the overall platform that is well-suited to our needs. It's something that is different from a lot of other products or platforms in the marketplace. It provides a single console for security policy and management. That is somewhat important because we used to have other products where you would have to log in to individual appliances, devices, or clusters. Having one spot to log in to or one area to go to for doing different tasks and viewing data sources, just makes it easier from a user perspective. Also, the fact that it's invisible to our end-users and doesn't affect their work is very important. Most companies don't want to have added friction or impact on their users. In addition, the combination of user-friendliness for admins, and security for the organization, works well. As a cloud-hosted solution, it provides ease of use.
