What is the Risk?

Accessing the web and downloading files has become a standard daily routine for most people. Without much awareness, the files we download and use on a daily basis may contain malicious content within them. This content can be exploited to infect your computers and networks, causing damage and threatening your data. Traditional detection technologies take a while to search for and identify threats before they block them; due to these delays, many solutions are deployed only in ‘detect’ mode, leaving networks vulnerable to threats.

What is the Solution?

Threat Extraction is a Web Secure Free Chrome extension that protects against threats by removing exploitable content, including active content and embedded objects from web-downloaded documents. It protects users from downloading malicious files, accessing risky websites, and stops bot communications before damage is caused.
