BYOD Security

BYOD & Unmanaged Device Security

Over 90% of organizations allow some form of BYOD. Surface Security enforces browser-level security policies on any device without requiring MDM, VDI, or hardware provisioning. Your data stays protected regardless of who owns the endpoint.

The Problem

You can't install MDM on devices you don't own

Personal laptops, home desktops, and partner devices access your SaaS applications daily. Traditional endpoint security demands device enrollment, something employees and third parties resist or outright refuse. VDI solutions are expensive and degrade the user experience. The result: sensitive data flows through unmanaged endpoints with zero visibility.

No visibility into corporate data accessed from personal devices

MDM enrollment creates friction, privacy concerns, and employee pushback

VDI solutions are costly, slow, and hated by end users

Shadow IT thrives on unmanaged endpoints beyond your control

The Solution

Surface deploys as a lightweight browser extension. No MDM, no agent, no device enrollment. Enforce data loss prevention, authentication, and access policies directly in the browser session, on any device, on any OS.

Agentless Deployment

Deploy via link or group policy. Users install a browser extension in seconds with no IT provisioning required.

Session-Level DLP

Block copy/paste, downloads, and uploads based on data context and organizational policy. Deter screen capture with visible watermarking.
