Problem
Risky, Unmonitored Chrome Environments
Managing Chrome-based users across different locations and devices can be risky without the right tools.
- Data Leaks & Compliance Issues: Without real-time DLP, users can inadvertently expose sensitive information on any website or service.
- Limited Visibility: Traditional Google admin tools don’t provide LAN-like tracking or granular insights into browser activity.
- Reactive Security: Relying on post-incident logs leaves your organization one step behind potential threats.
Solution
GAT Shield Delivers Continuous Browser Monitoring & Deep Auditing
GAT Shield provides real-time monitoring, data loss prevention, and granular Chrome management, all in one platform.
- Real-Time DLP: Push your own RegEx rules to detect and block sensitive data transfers covering every aspect of user browser activity.
- Custom Alerts & Auditing: Create rules for keyword searches, downloads, and chat activity to enable proactive threat detection and support student well-being.

- LAN-Like Usage Visibility: Get detailed insights into every user’s browsing across all sites, ensuring compliance and security at all times.
