85% of the workday now takes place inside a browser*. So why is your security infrastructure still anchored to a network edge that your employees have long since left behind? This isn’t just a technical misalignment, it could be leaving UK IT leaders completely blind to the risks of a modern workforce. While the way we work has evolved, the way we secure that work has remained static, creating a significant window of opportunity for modern threats. 

Standard browsers are not designed to protect against risks like Shadow AI, where proprietary data is pasted into unapproved LLMs, or visual leaks via smartphone photos. If your security doesn’t live where your employees actually work, how can you expect to see the danger coming? 

Cutting the “Legacy Tax” 

Many UK organisations remain tethered to expensive VPNs and resource-heavy VDI environments just to support one or two “heritage” Windows applications. This “Legacy Tax” results in high licensing and hardware costs for a fragmented environment that is notoriously difficult to secure. 

XMA provides a unified control plane that moves security directly to the browser tab. We partner with industry leaders like Google Chrome Enterprise Premium and Cameyo to deliver this solution, allowing legacy applications to run as individual tabs within a secure browser environment. It is time to stop supporting expensive legacy anchors and start securing the modern workspace. 

Tangible Outcomes for UK IT Leaders 

By shifting to a browser-based approach, you can implement context-aware actions and robust data loss prevention (DLP) policies: 

• GenAI Guardrails: Use contextual prompts to block data transfers to unapproved AI tools. 

• Visual DLP: Protect sensitive information with dynamic watermarking and screenshot blocking. 

• Cost Efficiency: Access a complete security solution for £6 per user per month while extending the life of your current hardware. 

• Zero-Provisioning: Remove the need for VPNs or client-side agents on endpoints entirely. 

Build Your Roadmap 

Modernising your security posture does not require a “big bang” migration. XMA recommends a phased approach, starting with a 60-day Proof of Value. 

This allows you to test premium features (including deep malware scanning and URL filtering) for up to 5,000 users. There is zero cost to begin, and crucially, there is no impact on end-user productivity during the testing phase. Why remain blind to your risks when you can see the solution for yourself?
