One layer for the web-based desktop

The web used to live in the browser.
Now it’s everywhere.

Browsers
Desktop apps
AI
Messaging
Meetings
The next tool

For security teams, the chase never ends.

THE CHALLENGE

New tools. Many surfaces. Limited coverage

Take Claude, for example. Your users can access it through browsers, extensions, desktop apps, embedded workflows, PowerPoint, and other desktop surfaces.

Each creates a new surface your team needs to secure – including
prompts, links, attachments, identities, and context.

WHAT RED ACCESS GIVES ME

Instead of chasing every tool and surface, 
Red Access protects work wherever it
happens

And when the next tool shows up tomorrow, you don’t start over. You already have:

Visibility

Insights

Controls

Visibility

More tools. More Surfaces. More blind spots

Work keeps reshaping across Desktop apps, AI Tools, Browsers, Meetings, and Messaging.
Red Access brings them together, unifies visibility and intent, and identifies what’s being used and risky activity across all surfaces.

Insights

Context without the homework

Security teams need answers and priorities without spending hours piecing information together. 

Red Access turns activity into clear, accurate answers—what’s risky, why it matters, and what to fix first.

Controls

Security that reaches the activity inside

Securing links, files, data, prompts, and accounts across all desktop apps, AI tools, and browsers takes multiple tools -with uneven depth, different policies, and gaps in coverage. 

Red Access protects activity inside each session in real time – stopping data leaks, malicious links and files, and risky user activity across every surface.

How it works

Open the app. Red Access loads with the session.

For agentless, app-agnostic, local analysis and coverage.

Configure once

Set Red Access once at the OS / environment level via MDM, GPO, a package manager, etc.

The app opens

The user opens a web-based desktop app such as Chrome, Edge, Slack, Teams, Claude Desktop, Microsoft 365, embedded webviews, and more.

Red Access loads with the session

The security engine loads seamlessly as a resource, bringing policy and context directly into the session.

Real-time control and context

Controls are applied and policy is enforced locally, while management, intelligence, and reporting stay centralized in the Red Access cloud.
