A browser built for SMBs: NordLayer launches NordLayer Browser
The new NordLayer Browser offers small and medium-sized companies comprehensive, streamlined, and optimized advanced security through a user- and business-friendly experience
NordLayer, a toggle-ready network security platform for businesses from the cybersecurity leaders that created NordVPN, has officially launched the NordLayer Browser — an enterprise-grade solution tailored to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). To safeguard company operations, it integrates browser-native security, enhanced observability, and access management and control into a single platform, delivering a familiar and intuitive experience for users with effortless deployment and management for businesses.
“Companies increasingly depend on web-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. Consequently, the browser has become the new endpoint,” says Andrius Buinovskis, head of product at NordLayer. “Traditional consumer browsers with no built-in security controls are insufficient to safeguard organizations in the current cyberthreat landscape. However, existing enterprise browser solutions are too complex and demanding for SMBs. The NordLayer Browser fills the market gap by delivering streamlined, advanced security that is simple to deploy and effortless to use.”
Leading research and advisory firm Gartner predicts that by 2028, 25% of organizations will deploy at least one secure enterprise browser technology to address specific gaps in their cybersecurity strategy. Gartner also predicts that by 2030, enterprise browsers will be the core platform for workforce productivity and security software on managed and unmanaged devices for a seamless hybrid work experience. These predictions are a direct response to cybercriminals frequently targeting employees via web-based and SaaS-use related attacks, like phishing, malicious browser extension campaigns, and account takeovers, that call for an additional layer of control and visibility within the browser.
The lack of dedicated IT staff, coupled with limited cybersecurity budgets, makes SMBs an attractive target for cybercriminals. A report from NordStellar, a threat exposure management platform, revealed that SMBs — companies with up to 200 employees and revenues up to $25 million — bore the brunt of all ransomware attacks last year.
“The NordLayer Browser reflects a deep understanding of SMB cybersecurity needs and is backed by extensive industry experience,” says Buinovskis. “It offers deep observability, browser-native security, as well as access management and control without the complexity, rigidity, deployment challenges, or enterprise price tag. All of the features are designed to empower IT admins while maintaining a seamless browsing experience for employees.”
Key solutions of the NordLayer business browser include:
- Shadow IT management. The browser provides visibility into SaaS usage and helps mitigate shadow IT activity through web activity monitoring, browser extension tracking, domain blocking, and a comprehensive activity log.
- Browser data loss prevention (DLP) elements. DLP elements restrict camera, microphone, file downloads, and clipboard access to prevent data capture and exfiltration on untrusted websites. This helps organizations limit uncontrolled data movement and reduce the risk of data leaks.
- Secure browsing capabilities. The browser enhances security through IP anonymization to hide the user’s address as well as web threat protection that blocks malicious or deceptive websites before they load. Category-based DNS filtering further restricts access to websites based on predefined categories for safer browsing.
- SaaS access control. The NordLayer Browser secures access through single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to prevent unauthorized access and maintain compliance. A dedicated IP feature enables IP-based control for internal and SaaS applications, while administrators can configure access to internal websites via a private gateway with a fixed, allowlisted IP address for secure connectivity.
- Zero-trust browsing. The browser securely manages how the browser traffic flows and what users can access. It routes traffic through approved gateways, provides secure tunnels to private resources, and enables security administrators to allow or block connections to internal and cloud services.

Lifestyle also influences the severity of endometriosis symptoms
|
According to a recent review by researchers at Semmelweis University, published in the journal Nutrients, lifestyle and dietary changes may help people living with endometriosis. The study analyzed more than 100 international papers and found that factors such as a healthy diet, regular physical activity, stress management, good sleep and adequate micronutrient intake can help reduce pain and improve quality of life. The Semmelweis University research team reviewed international studies to better understand the role of lifestyle factors in managing endometriosis. Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting around 10% of women of reproductive age. It is characterized by tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus. These lesions respond to the menstrual cycle and can cause pain, inflammation and bleeding, often leading to severe menstrual pain, chronic pelvic symptoms, fatigue and infertility. Diagnosis is often delayed, and symptoms can significantly affect quality of life over time. One of the key findings is that regular physical activity – at least 150 minutes per week, according to general recommendations, three times a week – can have several benefits. Exercise can influence hormone balance and the way the body processes pain. Clinical studies show that activities such as yoga, stretching and strengthening exercises, cardio workouts and resistance training, as well as relaxation techniques like progressive muscle relaxation, can help reduce endometriosis-related pain and improve quality of life. “Physical activity and other lifestyle factors do not replace medical treatment, but they can support it,” said Dóra Boroncsok, PhD candidate at Semmelweis University and first author of the study. The researchers also highlight the benefits of a Mediterranean-style diet, which is high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish and olive oil, while limiting red and processed meat. This type of diet has been linked to reduced pain and improvements in some digestive symptoms. By contrast, pro-inflammatory diets, particularly those high in red meat, may increase the risk of the disease. The review also looks at the possible role of several micronutrients and dietary supplements – including vitamins C, D and E, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc and certain antioxidant compounds – while noting that further clinical research is needed to confirm their benefits. “A key message is that patients can actively contribute to improving their condition. Everyday choices – from physical activity to diet and stress management – can reduce symptoms. Lifestyle change is not a cure, but it offers a real opportunity for women to take an active role in their own health,” added Dr Gábor Sobel, associate professor at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Semmelweis University and senior author of the study. The publication also introduces a new dietary approach currently under investigation, known as the fasting-mimicking diet (FMD). This is a short, typically five-day, plant-based, low-calorie program designed to trigger effects similar to fasting without requiring complete food restriction. In clinical studies of other chronic inflammatory and metabolic conditions – such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk – FMD has been shown to reduce inflammation, support hormonal and metabolic balance, and activate cellular repair processes. Based on its biological effects, FMD appears promising, but it has not yet been studied in gynecological diseases. The Semmelweis University research team has therefore developed a clinical trial protocol, which will be the first study worldwide to investigate FMD in gynecological conditions, including endometriosis. |
