Microsoft Defender does not block URLs
on Chrome and Firefox.
Most security teams overlook this.
Cybereinforce closes Defender’s browser enforcement blind spot by applying
deterministic, browser-level URL blocking directly inside Chrome and Firefox while
using your existing Defender IOC intelligence.
Full URL path enforcement Sentinel-ready telemetry Audit evidence
65–75%
of enterprise employees use Chrome or Firefox as their primary browser.
That’s where most phishing, malware delivery, and credential theft happens.
What Defender can’t do
❌ Enforce full HTTPS URL paths on Chrome / Firefox
❌ Inspect URLs hidden by TLS encryption
❌ Reliably enforce when QUIC / Encrypted Client Hello are enabled
What Defender actually sees
✔ SNI / FQDN only (not full URL paths)
✔ Decisions after TCP/TLS handshake completes
✔ Events logged as ConnectionSuccess even when blocked
Expectation vs Reality vs Enforcement
Expectation
IOC blocks URLs everywhere
HTTPS inspection sees the full path
“Blocked” means blocked
SOC can investigate confidently
Compliance evidence exists
Reality (Defender today)
URL paths enforced only in Edge
TLS hides paths in Chrome / Firefox
Network Protection sees FQDN only
Ambiguous ConnectionSuccess events
Hard-to-prove enforcement for audits
Cybereinforce
Full URL path enforcement in the browser
Deterministic block + redirect
Automated IOC ingestion from Defender
Structured security events
Sentinel analytics, workbooks & retention
What Cybereinforce adds
Browser-level URL enforcement

Automated IOC ingestion
Defender IOC lists are pushed automatically via Logic Apps and APIs.
Deterministic user experience
Clear block page instead of bypassable warnings or silent failures.
Structured security events
Every block, admin action, and anomaly becomes an investigation-ready event.
Customer-owned SIEM storage
Events land in the customer’s Log Analytics workspace for retention and hunting.
Sentinel analytics & workbooks
Prebuilt rules and dashboards for immediate SOC visibility.

This is Defender’s blind spot. Now it’s visible.
Cybereinforce does not replace Microsoft Defender.
It completes it where most users actually browse.
If your SOC relies on IOC-based blocking,
but your users rely on Chrome or Firefox,
then without browser-level enforcement you are not blocking URLs but
you are only blocking domains.
