Abstract
A system and method for ransomware protection includes an extended browser in an endpoint device. The extended browser selects a certificate for user authentication with an identity provider based on the enterprise ransomware threat level. The selection of the certification may be used to aid in providing protection from ransomware attacks of SaaS and private enterprise applications. The endpoint device may be part of a larger VLAN environment in which endpoint devices are deployed under a default gateway with point-to-point links.
