NordLayer launches enterprise browser to bring online security to businesses – here's what you need to know

NordLayer has launched a new browser to help businesses tackle rising web-based threats.

The browser was built by the team behind NordVPN, the best VPN for most people. It integrates security, monitoring, and access controls directly into the browsing experience.

The NordLayer Browser targets small and medium-sized businesses, with built-in protection against threats such as phishing, malicious downloads, and unauthorized data sharing.

How the NordLayer Browser secures business web activity

The browser builds on NordLayer's existing network security tools, security that sees it rank amongst the best business VPNs.

Protection is directly integrated into the browser, which is vital for businesses moving to software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms. Security policies can be enforced, user behaviour monitored, and access to company resources can be managed.

Several built-in protections aim to prevent and combat common web-based threats. These include blocking malicious or deceptive websites before they load, along with DNS filtering to restrict access to risky domains.

IP anonymization helps reduce user exposure, while data loss prevention (DLP) controls limit actions such as file downloads, clipboard use, and camera or microphone access on untrusted sites.

The browser also supports identity and access management features such as single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and dedicated IP-based controls.

Paired with zero-trust traffic routing, this allows administrators to control how employees access internal systems and cloud services across both company-managed and personal devices.

The platform also includes detailed activity monitoring tools. IT teams can track SaaS usage, browser extensions, and user sessions, helping them identify unusual activity and respond more quickly to potential threats.

This level of visibility can be essential for organizations managing remote or hybrid teams, where traditional network-based controls are harder to enforce.

Why NordLayer is moving into browser-based security

NordLayer is entering the enterprise browser space as more work moves into browser-based environments, where employees rely heavily on SaaS platforms and web apps for daily tasks.

This new release builds on that foundation, expanding into a full browser with deeper visibility and stricter access policies. It also aims to reduce the need for multiple security tools while addressing risks linked to cloud-based workflows and bring-your-own-device setups.

"Introducing an enterprise browser is a natural progression for us. We've established a strong foundation in securing business networks," said Donatas Tamelis, managing director at NordLayer.

"As enterprises increasingly depend on web applications, it's clear that the browser has become a critical gateway, essential not just for productivity but also as a frontline for security."
