Primary Differentiator: Zero-trust enterprise AI browser with browser-native policy enforcement, AI-aware DLP, and BYOD/contractor coverage across desktop and mobile.

Mammoth Enterprise Browser is a Chromium-based enterprise browser built by Mammoth Cyber to make the browser the enforcement point for zero-trust access, DLP, and generative AI governance. The product evolved from Mammoth's earlier secure access work and now targets the rapidly growing need to control SaaS, BYOD access, and GenAI usage via browser-native policy rather than traditional agents and network appliances. Mammoth is positioned as an enterprise AI browser that combines policy enforcement, secure remote access, and AI-aware controls in a single client.

Market Position

Mammoth targets security-conscious enterprises dealing with remote work, contractors, and shadow AI, particularly where SaaS and GenAI tools are central to daily workflows. Vendor messaging emphasizes that the browser is the new control point, framing Mammoth as a way to instrument and govern that surface while reducing reliance on VDI and heavy network-security chains. Mammoth competes with Island and similar enterprise browsers by focusing on AI-aware DLP, BYOD coverage, and policy enforcement for both human users and AI agents.

Technical Foundation

Mammoth's Enterprise Browser is a Chromium-based solution with a policy engine integrated directly into the browser layer, allowing real-time control over data actions such as downloads, uploads, clipboard, print, screen share, and session recording. The platform enforces zero-trust access by combining browser sessions with identity and device posture, supporting role- and posture-based policy decisions and session isolation for sensitive workflows, including GenAI interactions. Mammoth supports private-model AI and bring-your-own-model (BYOM) scenarios, enabling organizations to route sensitive prompts to internal LLMs while blocking unapproved external models.

Enterprise Adoption

Mammoth is marketed exclusively as an enterprise product, with desktop and mobile browsers for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, plus browser-native governance for BYOD and contractor access without requiring MDM on personal devices. Use cases highlighted by the vendor include secure mobile access, secure AI adoption, VDI reduction, and zero-trust access for unmanaged devices and distributed workforces.

Deployment Posture

Specialized
Consumer-First
Enterprise-Tolerable
Enterprise-Native
4.0

Mammoth is designed as a browser-native zero-trust and AI-governance platform with integrated DLP and BYOD coverage, but its effectiveness depends on careful policy design and its role as a central, vendor-managed control point.

Deployment Guidance

Mammoth Enterprise Browser is deployed as a managed enterprise browser across desktops and mobile devices, with centralized policy enforcement and no requirement for MDM or VPN on BYOD endpoints. Security and IT teams define policies in a single console to govern data actions, application access, and GenAI usage, while identity and device posture data drive real-time enforcement decisions. Because Mammoth operates at the browser layer, it can secure unmanaged devices and remote users by turning each session into a fully governed, enterprise-controlled experience without installing OS-level agents.

Deployment Options

Method Best For Key Features
Standard desktop deployment (Windows/macOS) Enterprises standardizing on a secure browser for SaaS and internal web apps Deploy Mammoth as a primary browser; enforce zero-trust policies, DLP, and GenAI controls for employees, contractors, and remote developers
BYOD and unmanaged devices Organizations with distributed and contractor workforces Launch apps in an isolated, enterprise-only browser on personal laptops, tablets, and phones; restrict copy/paste, downloads/uploads, print, and screen share; auto-watermark and record high-risk sessions
Mobile enterprise browser Field and mobile use cases requiring secure SaaS/internal access Provide a mobile Mammoth browser for iOS/Android that routes access to internal and SaaS apps without VPN, enforcing browser-level policies and GenAI restrictions

Update Channels

  • SaaS-style releases: Mammoth follows a SaaS-style release cadence with documented version updates introducing new security and governance capabilities
  • Cloud-delivered policy: Policy is centrally defined and evaluated at runtime, so many configuration changes can be applied without upgrading the browser itself

Extension Management

Mammoth focuses on controlling browser behavior and data movement rather than on an extension-centric model. The platform's policy engine allows administrators to:

  • Define which SaaS and web applications are allowed, and block shadow IT and unapproved file-sharing tools
  • Restrict data-handling actions (downloads, uploads, clipboard, print, sharing) regardless of which extensions are present
  • Detect and audit extensions associated with unauthorized AI use or data exfiltration as part of shadow AI defense

Best Fit Scenarios

  • Enterprises prioritizing zero-trust access to SaaS and internal web apps for remote workers, contractors, and unmanaged devices, where browser-layer policy can replace or reduce VPN and VDI complexity.
  • Organizations seeking AI-aware DLP that inspects prompts and outputs, isolates GenAI sessions, and enforces contextual policies around which AI tools and models can be used with sensitive data.
  • Security and compliance programs that require detailed, auditable logs of browser data actions (clipboard use, file actions, unsanctioned app visits) to feed SIEM/XDR and demonstrate regulatory diligence.

Caution Scenarios

  • Organizations that prefer a thin-browser model with minimal vendor-specific logic, where consolidating policy, DLP, and AI governance into one proprietary browser conflicts with multi-vendor or commodity-browser strategies.
  • Enterprises that prefer a multi-browser environment or face internal resistance to mandating a single, less-established browser as the exclusive tool for all web-based work.
  • Environments heavily dependent on rich desktop apps or legacy protocols outside the browser, where Mammoth's browser-centric approach may only cover part of the attack and data-exfiltration surface.

Secure Mammoth Enterprise Browser in Your Enterprise

Keep Aware's lightweight browser extension provides real-time threat detection, data leakage prevention, and protection against evolving attacks that exploit human error.

Key Risks & Considerations

Mammoth's approach, embedding zero-trust, DLP, and AI governance directly into the browser, shifts critical security controls from the network and endpoint agent layers into a single, high-privilege application. This consolidates visibility and enforcement where users actually interact with SaaS and GenAI tools, but it also makes the browser environment a focal point for both defensive and potential offensive activity.

Security Architecture

Mammoth's security model combines browser-native controls with identity, posture, and AI awareness:

  • Session isolation: Sensitive sessions, especially GenAI workflows, run in controlled environments where agents cannot reach local files or credentials
  • Browser-level DLP: Continuous enforcement prevents unauthorized downloads, uploads, clipboard use, document exports, and screen sharing, including attempts by AI agents
  • Identity and posture-based policy: Policies adapt to user role, device type, and risk signals, enforcing least-privilege access and blocking risky combinations
  • Full audit trails: Detailed logs correlate identities, session context, and data actions to support compliance, threat detection, and investigations

Privacy and Telemetry Considerations

Feature Data Collected Implication
Session and action logs Identity, device posture, visited apps, clipboard/file actions, blocked/allowed events Enables real-time detection and compliance reporting; requires strong controls over log access and retention
AI actions and prompts AI-driven actions and potentially prompt content, especially in regulated contexts Supports mandatory AI action auditing but may introduce sensitive content into logs
Policy decisions Records of why policies allowed or blocked data actions and app access Helps demonstrate regulatory adherence and tune policies

Vendor Dependency

Mammoth positions itself as the central browser-based governance layer for zero trust and AI, which creates a strong dependency on the vendor's roadmap, availability, and security posture. Mandating a single enterprise browser concentrates control in one vendor and can complicate future migrations or multi-browser strategies. Security architects should evaluate Mammoth's role alongside existing SWG, ZTNA, DLP, and EDR stacks.

Dimension Ratings

Security

4 — Strong
  • Mammoth enforces zero-trust access by tying browser sessions to identity, device posture, and policy, and can block or allow actions such as downloads, uploads, clipboard use, print, and screen share on a granular basis.
  • Browser-native DLP, session isolation, watermarking, session recording, and screen-share prevention reduce exfiltration and insider-risk paths across managed and unmanaged devices.
  • Security posture depends on correct policy design and integration with identity and SIEM/XDR systems; as with other enterprise browsers, Mammoth centralizes enforcement and requires robust governance to avoid misconfiguration or blind spots.

Reliability

4 — Strong
  • The browser is Chromium-based and described as production-ready for securing remote access, with app-store distribution and regular version updates.
  • Mammoth is designed to avoid agents or network proxies, which can reduce latency compared to VDI/SWG chains and remove some failure modes associated with multi-hop architectures.
  • As an evolving enterprise product adding AI and governance capabilities, it requires ongoing coordination around updates and policy changes, especially for regulated use cases.

Performance

4 — Strong
  • Using Chromium and eliminating VDI/proxy hops for web apps can reduce latency and improve user experience compared to remote desktops or heavy SWG chains.
  • Mammoth's enforcement at the browser layer (for example, blocking data actions inline) avoids some of the overhead of deep network inspection, though DLP and session instrumentation add processing work on the endpoint.
  • Organizations should benchmark performance under real workloads (including GenAI sessions and high-volume SaaS use) to ensure DLP and recording do not degrade user experience on lower-spec devices.

Usability

4 — Strong
  • Mammoth presents a Chromium-like browsing experience with additional controls applied transparently, and user testimonials highlight that remote employees can simply open the browser and access their apps.
  • For BYOD users, the ability to secure sessions without MDM or complex setup reduces friction, particularly in contractor and partner access scenarios.
  • Policy-driven restrictions (for example, blocking copy/paste, downloads, or screen share) can surprise users and must be accompanied by clear communication and exception workflows.

Compatibility

4 — Strong
  • As a Chromium-based browser, Mammoth supports modern web standards and is designed for SaaS and internal web apps.
  • Mammoth's browser-native approach secures both internal and SaaS applications and is built to work across various device types without relying on specific OS-level agents.
  • Strict policies and GenAI restrictions may interfere with certain web flows or extensions until tuned, particularly when dealing with complex multi-tenant SaaS or legacy web apps.

Maintainability

4 — Strong
  • Mammoth centralizes browser governance through a single console for creating and managing policies that apply across users, devices, and applications, including real-time rule updates.
  • Policy enforcement is identity- and posture-aware, enabling consistent least-privilege access and automated risk-based adjustments without deploying multiple agents per endpoint.
  • Enterprises must integrate Mammoth's policy and logging with existing SIEM/XDR, IAM, and compliance processes; this improves observability but increases the need for coherent policy management and version control.

Portability

3 — Adequate
  • Mammoth provides enterprise browser experiences for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, including a mobile enterprise browser that gives seamless access to internal and SaaS apps without VPN.
  • Linux and ChromeOS are not prominently documented as first-class platforms; organizations with significant non-Windows/macOS/mobile populations may need additional solutions for full coverage.
  • Mandating Mammoth as the sole browser creates vendor lock-in; organizations should weigh portability of policies and data if they later need to migrate to a different browser platform.

Functional Suitability

4 — Strong
  • Mammoth covers core enterprise browsing and adds browser-native secure access, DLP, session isolation, and GenAI governance features tailored to modern SaaS and AI-heavy workflows.
  • The platform supports use cases such as secure mobile access, VDI reduction, secure unmanaged-device access, and AI data protection, aligning with typical zero-trust and productivity goals.
  • Non-web workloads and specialized browser behaviors may still require other tools; Mammoth's focus is on web and AI use cases rather than full replacement of all endpoint security and access layers.

Enterprise Readiness

4 — Strong
  • Mammoth is explicitly presented as an enterprise browser for zero-trust access control, AI-aware DLP, and compliance, with features like multi-tenant RBAC, trust-circle enforcement, and detailed audit trails.
  • It is designed to integrate with enterprise logging, identity, and compliance requirements through real-time logging and audit-friendly policy records.
  • The product is newer than some competing enterprise browsers, and while marketing and technical materials are mature, independent large-scale deployment references are still developing.
