Introducing the Stairwell browser extension: Bringing threat hunting directly to your browser

Speed and precision aren’t just nice-to-haves for cybersecurity — they’re essentials. At Stairwell, we’re focused on giving you the edge you need to stay ahead of attackers. That’s why we’re introducing the Stairwell Browser Extension, a tool that brings our advanced threat-hunting capabilities directly into your Google Chrome browser. This isn’t just about adding another feature; it’s about fundamentally enhancing how you identify and address threats in real time.

What the Stairwell browser extension does

The Stairwell Browser Extension is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing security workflow. When you’re reading a blog, diving into a threat report, or working within another cybersecurity web platform, the extension automatically highlights MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 hashes. From there, it’s just a right click away to search across your entire environment or run the hash through Stairwell’s Run-to-Ground (RTG) to uncover related files, close sightings, and any lurking variants.
Imagine coming across a suspicious hash in a report. With the Stairwell Browser Extension, you can immediately check if that hash is in your environment, understand its context, and know where you need to take action — all in a few clicks.

 

Why it matters

Attackers evolve constantly, and so should your defenses. The Stairwell Browser Extension is a game-changer for real-time threat analysis, enabling you to act decisively the moment you spot a potential threat. It’s about more than just convenience; it’s about ensuring that no threat slips through the cracks. In a world where every second counts, this tool gives you the speed and insight needed to stay ahead of the curve.
