Easy and safe remote access to resources

Improved control and compliance
With NordLayer Browser, admins can define employees’ access to company resources, route traffic through approved network segments, and monitor in-browser activity in near real time. This supports stronger control, simpler audits, and compliance efforts.

FEATURES
The key tools we provide to enable secure browsing
Web Threat Protection
Blocks access to malicious and deceptive websites, helping prevent credential theft, reduce malware exposure, and lower the number of security incidents caused by unsafe browsing.
Web Application Control
Identifies and blocks web apps that don’t comply with organizational policy, ensuring browsing aligns with company-approved application categories. This prevents any misuse that could compromise the company’s security.
DNS Filtering by Category
Blocks access to websites by evaluating each domain during DNS resolution and restricting those in predefined categories. This helps cover new and unknown domains without extra configuration and reduces ongoing policy maintenance compared to domain-level blocking.
Custom DNS
Allows DNS traffic to be routed to a selected DNS resolver at the private gateway level instead of the default resolver. This ensures DNS behavior aligns with existing infrastructure and provides flexibility in resolving DNS traffic.
IP Masking
Hides the user’s real IP address by routing browser traffic through Private Gateway using a different IP address. This prevents external websites from identifying users by their real network IP and limits exposure of their location and internal network information.

Additional info
Frequently asked questions
Secure browsing is the practice of accessing web pages in a way that protects data and maintains overall security. It ensures that sensitive information, such as passwords and personal details, is protected from threats like malware, phishing, and unauthorized access. In companies, secure browsing can be enabled by using security-focused browsers and implementing controls that manage how employees access and interact with web pages.
NordLayer Browser helps reduce threats such as data leaks and breaches, web-based malware and phishing attacks, shadow IT risks and unmanaged SaaS usage, session hijacking and data exfiltration, and compliance violations.
NordLayer Browser enables administrators to enforce two primary types of policies: routing (controlling how browser traffic reaches web destinations) and access (defining who can access specific resources and data). It also offers additional controls, including login and authentication rules, website blocking, download and upload management, and clipboard (copy/paste) restrictions to prevent data exfiltration and the unauthorized sharing of sensitive information.
Yes, different teams can have different browsing rules in the NordLayer Browser. Admins can allow each team to have customized rules based on role, department, or user group. This means access to various domains, SaaS apps, downloads, copy/paste functionality, and data-sharing permissions can be tailored so that each team has only what it requires.
