Case Study: Similarweb enhances browser security and prevents data leakage with LayerX Security

LayerX Helps Similarweb Enhance, Consolidate, and Simplify Protection Against Web-Borne Threats and Vulnerabilities

SimilarWeb, a digital intelligence platform, faced a significant security challenge from browser-borne threats that were blind spots for its traditional cybersecurity tools. The company needed to gain visibility into user activity, prevent data leaks to GenAI tools like ChatGPT, and protect employees from malicious websites. To address this, they turned to the LayerX platform to enhance, consolidate, and simplify their protection against these web-borne vulnerabilities.

The LayerX solution provided 360-degree visibility into browser activity, enabling SimilarWeb to securely enable productive tools like GenAI with specialized data loss prevention (DLP) and to block malicious attacks. LayerX consolidated multiple security functions into a single platform, protecting sensitive data and reducing the attack surface without disrupting the user experience. This transformed SimilarWeb's security operations into a business enabler, supporting innovation and productivity while maintaining stringent security standards.
