My Laptop comes with HP Wolf Security for Business pre-installed. Its component "Threat Containment", also called "HP Sure Click", watches downloaded files from popular web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and Outlook, and automatically mark them so that it is opened inside Threat Container's Micro VM.
By looking into official documentation of HP Wolf Security, I learned that such apps, actively watched for downloads are called "Ingress Apps", and that it is possible to configure HP Wolf Security to add custom apps to such Ingress Apps. In this FAQ page https://enterprisesecurity.hp.com/s/frequently-asked-questions, under "Can I choose not to trust files that come from other apps on our PCs?", it is stated that "Yes. You can add "ingress apps" that we watch for file downloads. Any downloaded files will then be flagged as untrusted and will open in micro-VMs. Please contact HP Sure Click Enterprise Support if you need to do this.".
Although the above link is a FAQ for HP Wolf Security Enterprise, it is an extended version of HP Wolf Security Business on my laptop, so I guess that similar feature is available in HP Wolf Security for Business.
I would like to add some other web browsers that I frequently use to the list of Ingress Apps. Web browsers are mostly the same under the hood, for example Brave browser is based on Chrome, and Zen browser is based on Firefox, both of which are supported as Ingress Apps, so it shouldn't take much more effort to make Brave browser and Zen browser as Ingress Apps.
How can I make other browsers, such as Brave or Zen, to be monitored by HP Sure Click?
