THE CHALLENGE
Your employees are using tools and sites you don’t even know about
Every week, your employees sign up for apps and tools your security team has never reviewed. The browser is where it happens, and for most organizations, it’s completely unprotected.
Feature title Breaches involving shadow data cost an average of $5.27M. 16% more than standard.

BENEFITS
How browser domain blocking can help
What is browser domain blocking?
Browser domain blocking is a built-in feature of NordLayer Browser that prevents users from accessing specific domains. It enforces organizational policies by blocking unsafe, unapproved, or noncompliant websites before they load.
Malware and phishing never reach your endpoints
Risky and noncompliant domains are caught at the browser level. That means no scripts execute, no payloads download, and no sensitive data is compromised.
Full visibility and control over shadow IT
Admins can see every domain visited or extension installed across the organization and block anything unapproved before it spreads.
Unapproved AI tools blocked org-wide in one policy
Prevent employees from accessing AI platforms your security team hasn’t vetted. One rule in the Control Panel applies across every user and device instantly.
Compliance enforcement that runs in the background
Users only interact with approved, trusted domains. Internal policies and external regulations are enforced quietly in the browser with no extensions required.
Faster networks because irrelevant traffic never starts
Bandwidth from non-essential or high-traffic sites is eliminated at the browser level, so critical applications get the resources they need.
How does browser domain blocking work?
Blocking a domain takes seconds. Add it to the blocklist in the Control Panel, apply the policy to your teams, and NordLayer Browser handles the rest. When someone tries to reach a blocked site, the connection is instantly stopped before any content loads.
- Add any domain to your blocklist in the Control Panel
- Apply the policy to specific users, groups, or your whole org
- Blocked sites never load, no data is ever exchanged
Take full control of which domains your team can access
