Great job guys! Nice to see one solution that covers many different types of potential security threats.


Very cool, some other good information on the website:

Hope to see some deep dives on the extension features on your blog!


Han from Paladin here. We are really excited to launch our latest Chrome Extension and excited to get feedback from users like you.

Paladin was founded as a Cyber Protection company for SMBs. One of the products that we began building was a cyber protection tool suite for employers to give to their employees. The tool would help mitigate the risk of being hacked. We also provided remediation services, that was all backstopped by a cyber insurance policy. Our chrome extension was built with NSA level encryption and security measures, and we realized that we couldn’t just let this chrome extension hide behind a wall only for small businesses.

Once we had tested our chrome extension extensively, we decided to take our mission of making cyber protection easy for the little guy, and extend it to consumers by offering our Paladin Browser Protection for Chrome to the general consumer, free of charge.

As consumers and internet users we are often at risk of being hacked, even when we don’t necessarily realize it. Add to that the fact that most available tools out there are really only band-aids, incomplete, or act as medicine, we realized it was important to build a vaccine. Paladin Browser Protection for Chrome provides protection against the top 5 consumer vulnerabilities:

Weak passwords, unsecured public WiFi, phishing emails and website, unsafe content and XSS vulnerabilities and attacks. Here’s a breakdown of the features and how they work:

- Password management -65% of people use a single password among all applications, so when one login is breached, they all will be. Setup a single sign-on password with our password manager and generate strong passwords for all of your logins.

- Phishing protection - 91% of successful hacking attempts start with phishing emails. With Paladin’s Browser Protection Chrome Extension we protect your inbox (compatible with Gmail and Outlook365) by calling out malicious attempts so you don’t get hacked.

- Unsecured WiFi protection - 68% of public and unsecured wifi users fall victim to an attack. We encrypt all your data before it goes to the router, then route it back through our servers, leaving you clear of any danger.

- Website and content filtering - 99% of known threats are blocked by our filter. The filter prevents you from accessing all phishing websites along with other unsafe sites

- Cross-site scripting protection - 50% of websites are affected by XSS vulnerability. A script attack allows a hacker to transfer malicious code right through a normally visited website. We stop them dead in their tracks and report back to Paladin and the authorities to take them down.

Explore the chrome extension, test it out, and let us know what you think. I’m here to answer your questions.
