Surface Guard: free, privacy-first browser protection against phishing, scareware, and AI-generated attacks.
Browser protection built for the attacks they haven't seen yet.
Traditional security tools are designed to recognize attacks they've seen before. Surface Guard is built to protect you from the attacks they haven't, using adaptive detection technology from Surface Security, free in your browser.
Protection against the next generation of threats
Surface Guard analyzes the websites and threats you encounter to help identify attacks, including highly targeted ones designed specifically to trick you.
Phishing
Helps catch credential-stealing pages, including brand-new kits no signature has seen.
Scareware
Blocks fake alerts and pressure tactics built to panic you into acting.
Impersonation
Flags sites pretending to be brands and services you trust.
AI-Generated Attacks
Detects convincing, personalized scams that attackers now build with AI.
It learns and adapts as threats evolve
Surface Guard learns what the sign-in pages you use look like, on your device, so it can spot copies of them. It checks for new detection rules every few hours, which we build from our research and threat reports, helping it recognize new attack techniques as they emerge. Attackers are using AI to build more convincing scams than ever, and Surface Guard is built to keep up with them.
Adaptive detection
Improves as threats evolve, not just against attacks seen before.
Real-time protection
Analysis happens directly in your browser, as you browse.
Novel & targeted
Built for net-new, targeted, and AI-generated attacks.
Free, in your browser
No cost, no account. Install in seconds.
Protection without giving up your privacy
Surface Guard analyzes pages in your browser and doesn't send us a list of the sites you visit. When it flags a page as an attack, it can report that page and the redirects that led to it, after removing common personal details like email addresses and login tokens on your device. Reports are on by default (off by default in the EEA and UK), and you can turn them off at any time.
No list of your browsing
We don't receive a list of the sites you visit.
Local detection
Pages are analyzed in your browser, with no account needed.
You control sharing
Reports cover only flagged pages, or pages you choose to report, and the redirects that led to them. Turn reports off anytime.
