Inside Ulaa’s Browser-Based DLP:

Policy Enforcement without Agents

Sensitive data doesn’t always leak in dramatic ways. Often, it slips out quietly, pasted into a personal email, uploaded to an unsanctioned cloud service, or typed into an external chat. These actions typically occur in the browser, which remains the most significant point of potential data loss. Traditional DLP systems, reliant on agents and network monitoring, simply don’t have the granularity needed to control browser-based actions

Ulaa Enterprise changes that. By enforcing data loss prevention directly within the browser, Ulaa prevents these leaks in real-time, all without requiring endpoint agents or external inspection systems.

Enforcing Policies at the Point of Action

Let’s break this down into technical terms. Ulaa’s DLP policies are enforced within the browser, acting at the exact moment users attempt to perform a sensitive action. For instance:

Clipboard Control: Imagine a user attempting to copy sensitive financial data from an internal dashboard. Ulaa enforces site-based clipboard policies that block the copy action entirely, preventing sensitive content from ever leaving the approved domain or being pasted elsewhere.

Download Control: A user tries to download a file from an internal app. Ulaa applies policy checks based on MIME type, source URL, and file size. If the download doesn’t meet policy requirements, it is blocked immediately. Data leak is prevented, and the attempt is logged.

Extension Management: Ulaa gives administrators full control over which browser extensions are allowed or blocked. This prevents risky or unknown plugins from ever entering the environment, minimising attack surfaces and enforcing strict compliance.

Advanced Policy Configuration

Ulaa’s browser-based DLP is not limited to basic access control. It gives admins granular control over how users interact with web-based data:

JavaScript and Code Restrictions: Administrators can block or restrict JavaScript execution on certain sites, preventing common exploits like cross-site scripting (XSS) or drive-by downloads. Ulaa enforces these restrictions directly in the browser engine, ensuring that malicious code is stopped before it runs.

Cookie Management: With cookie restrictions, admins can control which types of cookies are allowed in the browser, block third-party cookies, or manage session-only cookies. This ensures that sensitive session information isn’t inadvertently saved or shared across different platforms.

Media Control: Admins can configure autoplay policies for multimedia content. For example, they can block auto-play videos or prevent the download of media files that may contain hidden threats.

Block Unauthorized Surveillance: Uncontrolled camera and microphone access can lead to covert surveillance and data leaks. Ulaa Enterprise enforces strict device-level security, blocking unauthorized access to prevent eavesdropping and safeguard confidential information.

No Agents, No Friction, Just Enforcement

The beauty of Ulaa’s browser-based approach is that these policies are enforced without the need for endpoint agents or OS-level controls. As long as Ulaa is installed on the browser, these policies are applied consistently across all environments, whether users are signed in or not.

Administrators can deploy policies across the entire organization, monitor activity, and enforce actions, regardless of where the user is working or what device they are using. It is real-time DLP enforcement that goes beyond traditional methods, catching sensitive data leaks before they happen.

The End of Passive Data Protection

Traditional DLP tools focus on detection and post-event responses. They may alert you when data has been uploaded to an external site or copied to a personal email. However, by the time those events are detected, the damage is already done.

Ulaa flips the script. Instead of reacting after a data breach occurs, it proactively blocks sensitive data from being mishandled in the first place. By doing so at the browser layer, Ulaa delivers the kind of protection that today’s distributed, cloud-first enterprises need.
