Does it protect people before we set anything up?
Yes. Once installed, its default policies block programs and risky file types (even inside ZIPs), ZIPs within ZIPs and malicious commands on the clipboard. To set your own policies, enrol it in the admin console, which is free for up to 100 users.
Why is it free for up to 100 users?
Because security shouldn't be expensive. Small organisations are targeted by the same tricks as large ones, and usually have the least to spend on protection. The Free plan has every protection; larger organisations will pay for more users, a year of audit history and priority support.
Does it replace antivirus?
No. It's an extra layer in the place many attacks begin: it stops risky downloads and websites, and keeps malicious commands out of the clipboard. Keep your antivirus, email filtering and updates.
Are our files uploaded anywhere?
No. Downloads and ZIPs are checked inside the browser on each computer. Only audit events (what was blocked, warned or recorded) go to the console, and the Privacy settings decide how much detail they carry.
Which browsers does it work with?
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Windows, macOS and Linux. Both install it from the Chrome Web Store, so one extension covers both.
How does it know who is using the browser?
From the account signed in to Chrome or Edge, so no per-person setup is needed. You can also set the user by policy.
Can people turn it off?
Not when it's installed by policy. If you allow it, people can pause protection on one website for a short time, with a reason that goes in the audit log.
What about Incognito and InPrivate windows?
They're protected once the extension is allowed in them. The setup guide shows how, or you can turn private windows off by policy.
What happens when people are offline?
Browsers keep enforcing the last policies they received, and send their audit events when they're back online.
