How to Review Cybersecurity Before Allowing a New Browser Extension at Work

Browser extensions can read pages, modify content, or access credentials depending on permissions. A productivity benefit does not show what data the extension can collect.

What to check

Verify publisher, requested permissions, update history, data handling, enterprise controls, and business owner. Check whether the capability can be provided through an approved tool.

Recommended next step

Allow only reviewed extensions with a defined purpose and removal path. Informatix Systems can assess endpoint security and business cybersecurity.
