AI Data Security, Beyond the Browser

Beyond the browser

Lasso for Employees runs as a browser extension, so it only sees browser-based AI. With most AI usage happening outside of the browser within desktop apps, code assistants, embedded AI, agents, and mobile, it barely covers any compliance or security needs

Inspection in your infrastructure

Lasso classifies prompts in its own cloud. Verax inspects inside your own environment, so your data always stays securely within your network.

Deeper visibility and controls

Lasso discovers shadow AI and runs prompt and file DLP. Verax has 100s of custom integrations that enable visibility and control into exactly how your employees are using AI - down to the plan, model, connectors, and file access in play.

FAQ

Isn't Lasso's browser extension enough for employee AI?
It covers browser-based AI well. But AI usage isn't only in the browser. Desktop apps like the ChatGPT and Claude Cowork, code assistants, agents, much SaaS-enabled AI, and mobile fall outside a browser extension. Verax covers them by securing AI from the network, with nothing to install per device.
What about Lasso's developer and MCP tools?
Lasso also secures homegrown LLM apps and agents through IDE plugins, an SDK, and an open-source MCP gateway. If you’re looking to secure apps your company is building, Lasso is worth a look. But if you’re looking to secure your employee’s AI usage, Verax offers a far more comprehensive solution.
