Abstract
An extended browser provides additional protection against lateral propagation of ransomware to an endpoint device. The extended browser may monitor for inbound connection requests having access protocols vulnerable to ransomware attacks. The extended browser may select a certificate provided to an identity provider based on the ransomware threat level based at least in part on the detection of connection requests having access protocols vulnerable to ransomware attacks. Access to SaaS or private enterprise application may be limited or denied in response to detecting connection requests having the vulnerable access protocols. The endpoint device may also be part of a VLAN with endpoint device deployed under a default gateway with point-to-point links.
