Why is my browser insecure?

Browsers are very complicated pieces of software. Any single flaw has the potential to be abused by hackers and thieves to break into your computer. Plugins, which are pieces of software that add new capabilities into the browser, can also provide opportunities for malicious code to get in. Vendors of browsers and plugins are continuously finding and fixing such problems. However, this means that you have to constantly be updating your browser and plugins to make sure that you aren’t leaving your machine open to attack.


About

Qualys BrowserCheck is a cloud service that scans your browsers and plugins to see if they’re all up-to-date. It’s an “online checkup” that relieves you from having to manually chase the constantly-shifting landscape of patches and updates to determine what you should be using. BrowserCheck identifies which browsers and plugins are used on your computer and whether newer versions have been released by vendors. On PCs running Microsoft Windows XP or later and Mac OSX 10.6.8 or later, BrowserCheck can also verify that important OS settings are enabled and OS security updates are being received.



Qualys BrowserCheck Business Edition provides a web-based console from which IT administrators can:


  • *Set how often users’ machines are scanned (such as daily, weekly, or monthly).
  • *Get easy instructions for connecting users’ computers to BrowserCheck.
  • *Continuously track which browsers and plugins are installed on each machine.
  • *Verify that crucial OS security settings are enabled and that OS security updates are being received.
  • *View at-a-glance dashboards and drill down into per-machine status.
  • *Download an MSI file and activation codes that can be automatically pushed to users' computers.

With BrowserCheck, you can quickly see if you computers are keeping current or are falling behind, potentially giving online thieves an opportunity to steal information or break into your corporate network. Tracking whether computers are up-to-date and fixing issues quickly as they arise are widely cited as the first steps in exercising good web “hygiene.” Automating these processes makes businesses more efficient, boosts security and shows compliance auditors that industry best practices are being followed.
