Acium vs. Legacy Security
Close the Visibility Gap
Traditional EDR and SWG tools operate outside the browser missing 90% of modern threats. Acium brings security directly into the browser runtime.
Where Legacy Tools Fall Short
EDR operates at the OS level. SWG inspects network traffic. Neither can see inside the browser sandbox where work actually happens.
Legacy EDR & SWG
- Zero visibility into browser sandboxes
- Cannot inspect encrypted TLS 1.3 traffic
- Misses threats assembled via JavaScript/DOM
- No control over GenAI data leakage
- Cannot audit browser extensions
Acium Runtime Security
- Full visibility inside the browser runtime
- Inspects all actions, encrypted or not
- Real-time DOM & JavaScript monitoring
- Complete GenAI data loss prevention
- Comprehensive extension auditing

Zero Trust Enforcement
Context-aware policy enforcement across all SaaS platforms and browsers.
Frequently Asked Questions
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) operates at the operating system level, monitoring file system changes, process execution, and system calls. It cannot see inside the browser sandbox where modern work happens — encrypted web traffic, in-browser data flows, extension behavior, and SaaS application interactions are invisible to EDR agents.
Secure Web Gateways (SWG) and Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) inspect network traffic between the user and cloud services. However, they operate outside the browser and cannot see in-session activities like copy/paste actions, DOM manipulation, clipboard operations, or how browser extensions interact with page content. These blind spots are where modern browser-based attacks operate.
VPNs and SASE solutions secure the network path between users and applications, but they have no visibility into what happens inside the browser session itself. Acium provides an in-browser security layer that sees and controls user actions at the browser level — extension behavior, data flows to AI tools, clipboard operations, and session integrity — complementing rather than replacing network-level security.
