Shadow IT Management
In an era where cloud and web services adoption is rampant and in the hands of end users, understanding and managing shadow IT is crucial for maintaining organizational security. This document aims to explain how Keep Aware addresses the challenges of effectively managing shadow IT by leveraging the innate and powerful visibility from browsers.
Testing Browser Security Controls
Keep Aware provides a library of identified phishing, social engineering, and malicious traffic sites that can be used for testing. While these websites are pulled and scrubbed for in the wild phishing attempts we have researched, these domains are hosted by Keep Aware. These sites are to be used purely to test Keep Aware browser security controls.
Credential Reuse
Credential Reuse detects when an employee enters a tracked password on a site that shouldn't have it. The Keep Aware extension evaluates each credential entry inside the browser before the form submits, then logs the event, pauses submission, or blocks the form based on your policy.
AI Prompt Governance
AI Prompt Governance gives you visibility into what employees send to AI assistants, and lets you act on it before it leaves the browser. The Keep Aware extension inspects a prompt as it is sent — not by reading the page — so a prompt carrying sensitive data can be recorded, paused for acknowledgement, or blocked outright before it ever reaches the assistant.
Password Strength
Password Strength scores how hard a user's password would be to guess, at the moment they type it. The Keep Aware extension estimates the strength inside the browser and attaches the result to the login event, so you can find weak credentials on the accounts that matter without ever collecting the password itself.
