LayerX

LayerX is a private Israeli cybersecurity company operating in the enterprise browser security space. It offers a security platform delivered as a browser extension, designed to protect enterprise employees from threats arising through everyday browser activity — including SaaS usage, general web browsing, and generative AI tools.

LayerX's primary product is an Enterprise Browser Security Platform that gives security teams visibility and control over all browser activity by organizational users. The platform addresses risks such as data leakage through SaaS applications, unauthorized use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT), and unmanaged access by third-party contractors and vendors. The target buyer is the enterprise security team at large organizations. The product operates as an extension on existing browsers such as Chrome and Edge, requiring no migration to a dedicated proprietary browser.

LayerX operates in the Enterprise Browser Security category alongside companies such as Island and Talon Cyber Security (acquired by Palo Alto Networks). LayerX's core differentiation is its extension-based approach — which avoids requiring organizations to switch to a dedicated enterprise browser — in contrast to the full-browser approach taken by Island.

LayerX is an Israeli-founded company whose founders have backgrounds in the cybersecurity domain. Detailed public information on office locations and headcount distribution is not available.
