What is Prisma Browser for Business and who is it for?
Prisma Browser for Business is a work-focused web browser designed specifically to help small businesses protect employees and data while they work online. Unlike consumer browsers that are optimized mainly for speed and personal use, Prisma Browser is built to secure the way your team actually works in the browser.
A few key points that matter for small businesses:
- Where work happens: Employees now spend about 85% of their workday in the browser, which makes it a primary target for attackers.
- Real risk for small businesses: About 46% of small businesses have experienced a cyber attack, and 95% of organizations report at least one browser-based attack.
- Built for business security, not just browsing: Prisma Browser includes enterprise-grade, AI-powered security and data protection features that standard consumer browsers don’t provide out of the box.
In short, Prisma Browser for Business is meant to help small organizations rethink how they secure everyday browsing—without adding IT complexity or requiring a large security team.
How does Prisma Browser’s security compare to standard browsers and antivirus?
Prisma Browser for Business is designed to reshape how threats are stopped in the browser by focusing on real-time, AI-driven protection instead of relying mainly on older, reactive methods.
Here’s how it differs from standard browsers and traditional antivirus:
1. Enterprise-grade AI security engine
- Powered by the same security intelligence used by large global enterprises.
- Analyzes up to 3.8 billion URLs per day.
- Prevents up to 347,000 new malicious URLs daily, including threats that appeared only moments ago.
2. Real-time phishing and malicious site protection
- Inspects page content in real time to catch new AI-generated scams and fake login pages as they appear.
- Standard consumer browsers often rely mainly on lists of known bad sites, which can miss brand-new attacks created today.
3. Proactive malware and ransomware blocking
- Analyzes files during download to stop brand-new viruses and ransomware before they land on the device.
- Helps catch zero-day malware, not just known threats.
- Traditional antivirus often scans only after the file is already on the machine and may not fully inspect common formats like ZIP or PDF files.
4. Built for the modern web, not just local files
- Legacy antivirus tools were designed for files on a hard drive, while Prisma Browser focuses on the browser, where most work now happens.
- Standard browsers typically depend on extensions and URL blocklists, which can leave gaps against new and unknown phishing attacks.
Taken together, Prisma Browser for Business helps you reimagine browser security from a reactive, file-based model to a proactive, web- and AI-driven approach.
How does Prisma Browser help prevent data leaks and AI-related risks?
Prisma Browser for Business includes built-in data protection features that are designed to rethink how sensitive information is handled in the browser, especially as employees use AI tools and cloud apps.
Key ways it helps reduce data leakage risk:
1. Controls on copying, pasting, and uploading data
- Can prevent employees from pasting client information or uploading company files into public generative AI tools such as ChatGPT.
- Helps stop sensitive data from being entered into risky websites or personal accounts.
2. Protection where standard tools fall short
- Standard consumer browsers are typically blind to your data—they allow copying, pasting, and uploading of company information to almost any site without restriction.
- Traditional antivirus is focused on blocking incoming viruses, not on controlling outgoing sensitive business data.
3. Designed for everyday business workflows
- Recognizes that employees spend most of their day in the browser and may use a mix of business apps, personal accounts, and AI tools.
- Provides guardrails so your team can stay productive while reducing the chance of accidental data exposure.
By adding these controls directly into the browser, Prisma Browser for Business helps you reimagine data protection for a world where AI tools and web apps are part of everyday work.
