The guide identifies common failures such as unmanaged extensions, lax policies and blind spots in encrypted traffic. It recommends extending zero trust to the browser with strong MFA, conditional access, continuous monitoring and vetted extension allow lists, and points to Prisma Browser for agentless inspection and DLP.
