The Browser Is Your Biggest Unmanaged Attack Surface
Every uncontrolled browser session is a potential entry point. Admin By Request’s Web Access Management gives IT teams policy-driven control over what endpoints can access, what they can download, and which browsers are permitted to run, without requiring network-level infrastructure.
Define which websites and categories are accessible from company endpoints
Block or gate executable downloads with approval workflows
Lock down which browsers are allowed and enforce minimum version standards
Audit all browsing-related access events with a complete, searchable log
Why Endpoint Browsing Is a Security Gap
Employees bypass network filters via mobile hotspots, VPNs, or remote working
Outdated browser versions carry unpatched vulnerabilities that attackers actively exploit
Malicious sites use drive-by downloads and fake update prompts to deliver executables
In-app and embedded browsers often operate outside standard corporate controls
No visibility means no audit trail when something goes wrong
Endpoint-Level Web Controls, Wherever Your Team Works
Web Access Management applies browsing and download controls at the device level, not the network perimeter. Policies follow the endpoint, so coverage is consistent whether employees are in the office, at home, or on the road.
Browsing Control Layer
Define what users can access from company endpoints. Allow unrestricted browsing, or restrict to pre-approved sites only. Blocked sites can be enforced instantly after policy refresh, across all browsers, and cannot be bypassed through browser settings or extensions.
Download Control Layer
Control whether executable files can be downloaded at all. Require user justification, administrator approval, or MFA before a download is released to the endpoint. Pre-approve trusted sources to keep legitimate workflows uninterrupted, and block known-bad sources immediately.
Browser Standards Layer
Define which browsers are permitted on company endpoints, enforce minimum version requirements, and automatically block outdated or unsupported browsers. In-app and embedded browsers can be controlled separately. This reduces exposure to known browser vulnerabilities without requiring manual enforcement.
Logging and Auditability Layer
Blocked sites, download approvals, MFA challenges, and browser enforcement events are all logged. Endpoint Privilege Management and Secure Remote Access contribute additional session and elevation data, creating a unified audit trail across all endpoint activity.
Tailored Controls for Every Environment
Not every team needs the same level of restriction. Web Access Management gives you the flexibility to configure controls by policy group, department, or device type.
Securing Your Browser Comes in Different Forms. We Cover Them All.
Whether the threat is accidental or deliberate, Admin By Request adapts to your environment.
Security First
For regulated industries, high-risk environments, or endpoints handling sensitive data:
- Browsing restricted to pre-approved sites only
- All executable downloads blocked or require approval and MFA
- Only approved browsers permitted, minimum versions enforced
- All access events logged and alerted on
- Ideal for healthcare, finance, legal, and critical infrastructure
Productivity First
For technical teams, trusted users, or lower-risk endpoint groups:
- General browsing permitted, with restrictions on known-bad categories
- Trusted download sources pre-approved for frictionless access
- Browser standards enforced silently in the background
- Alerts limited to high-risk events such as blocked download attempts
- Ideal for developers, remote teams, and knowledge workers
Seamless Integration. Minimal Disruption.

FAQs
What is endpoint internet control and how is it different from network web filtering?
Network web filtering controls internet access at the perimeter, typically via a proxy or DNS filter. Endpoint internet control applies policies directly to the device, meaning they follow the endpoint wherever it goes — including off-network. Admin By Request’s Web Access Management enforces browsing restrictions, download controls, and browser standards at the endpoint level, providing consistent coverage for remote, hybrid, and on-site workers regardless of how they connect to the internet.
Can Admin By Request block specific websites or categories of sites?
Yes. Web Access Management allows administrators to block entire domains or specific URL paths, with policies applying instantly after refresh. Blocks work consistently across browsers and cannot be overridden through browser settings or extensions.
How does browser lockdown work?
Administrators can define which browsers are permitted on company endpoints, set minimum version requirements, and automatically block outdated or unsupported browsers. In-app and embedded browsers can be controlled separately. This reduces the attack surface from known browser vulnerabilities without requiring manual checking or user awareness.
Does this work for remote and off-network employees?
Yes. Because Web Access Management controls are applied at the endpoint rather than the network layer, they function regardless of how the device is connected. Policies follow the device, so a remote employee connecting via a personal hotspot is subject to the same controls as an on-site user on the corporate network.
What happens when a user tries to download an executable file?
Depending on the policy configured, the download can be blocked outright, held for administrator approval, or require the user to provide a business justification or complete MFA before it is released. Administrators can pre-approve trusted sources and applications to bypass these controls for known-safe content, reducing friction for legitimate workflows.
How does this complement Endpoint Privilege Management?
Web Access Management and Endpoint Privilege Management address different points in the attack chain. Web Access Management stops threats from reaching the endpoint by controlling what can be downloaded and which sites can be accessed. Endpoint Privilege Management limits the damage if something does get through, by ensuring malware cannot execute with elevated privileges or spread across the network. Together they form a layered defense that covers both prevention and containment.
