- Browser Security Plus manages the browsers you already have (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) rather than replacing them with a separate "secure browser"
- Extension/add-on management addresses a real, under-monitored data-leak vector — malicious or overly-permissive browser extensions
- The category is bifurcating between "manage existing browsers" tools like this one and full enterprise browser replacements (Island, Talon)
What It Does
ManageEngine Browser Security Plus provides browser insights and management, policy deployment and configuration, add-on/extension management, a Java manager, browser lockdown and isolation, web filtering and download restrictions, data leak prevention, and compliance management — across the standard browsers employees already use.
Who It's For
IT teams that want centralized policy control, extension management, and web filtering across existing browsers, without forcing users onto an unfamiliar dedicated "enterprise browser." A lighter-weight approach than replacing the browser itself.
How It Compares
ManageEngine Browser Security Plus
Manages and secures the browsers employees already use (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) with policy, extension control, and DLP — a lower-friction adoption path than switching to a dedicated enterprise browser.
Island Enterprise Browser
A full Chromium-based "enterprise browser" replacement with deep, browser-native security and DLP controls built into the browser itself rather than layered on top. More powerful in some scenarios, but requires migrating users to a new browser rather than managing existing ones.
Talon (part of Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Browser)
Similarly a dedicated secure enterprise browser, now integrated into Palo Alto's broader SASE/security platform. A natural fit if you're already standardized on Palo Alto for network security; a bigger platform commitment than managing existing browsers.
Microsoft Edge for Business (native management)
Free policy management for Edge specifically via Microsoft Intune/Group Policy — a reasonable starting point if your organization is standardized on Edge and doesn't need cross-browser (Chrome/Firefox) management in one console.
Bottom Line
- Want policy, extension, and DLP control across existing browsers without migrating users? Browser Security Plus.
- Want the deepest browser-native security control and are willing to migrate users to a new browser? Island or Talon.
- Standardized on Edge specifically, no cross-browser need? Native Edge management via Intune may be enough.
