Secure Figma browsing

Secure Figma browsing means protecting design assets, prototypes, and shared links from phishing, unsafe sharing, and data leakage in browser-based collaboration.

Quick answer

Legba can isolate browser sessions while your team uses Figma.

These tools are full of shared links and external content. Isolation helps reduce exposure when users open unfamiliar destinations and downloads that start from Figma.

This page does not imply an official integration with Figma—it’s a guide to securing browser workflows around the app.

When you need this

  • Your team uses Figma in a browser every day.
  • You want to reduce phishing, malicious downloads, and session theft without slowing users down.
  • You need role-based policies for employees, admins, and contractors.

Common browser risks

  • Phishing that imitates Figma share/invite notifications to capture credentials.
  • Publicly shared files exposing sensitive product designs or customer assets.
  • External links embedded in prototypes that route users to malicious destinations.
  • Session compromise risk when designers browse risky sites while authenticated to valuable internal workspaces.
  • Copy/paste leakage of internal designs, tokens, and notes into untrusted tools or AI prompts.

Typical sensitive data in Figma

  • Product designs and UI components.
  • Prototypes and user research artifacts.
  • Brand assets and marketing creatives.
  • Links to staging environments and internal tools.
  • Customer and partner assets shared for review.
  • Workspace access controls and sharing metadata.

Recommended policies by role

Engineering

  • Treat external prototype links as untrusted; open unknown destinations in isolation.
  • Keep staging/admin sessions separate from design collaboration sessions in the browser.
  • Restrict extension installs in design-heavy teams to reduce token theft risk.

IT Admins

  • Enforce strict sharing policies and monitor public-link creation where possible.
  • Isolate unknown external links opened from within prototypes and comments.
  • Restrict downloads from untrusted sources; scan exported assets shared externally.

Security

  • Audit sharing and guest access; require approvals for external collaboration on sensitive projects.
  • Use isolation for investigation of suspicious Figma invite links.
  • Implement policies that reduce data leakage from design artifacts to AI tools via browser prompts.

FAQs

Why would attackers target design tools?

Design files can reveal product plans, security flows, customer data, and brand assets that enable fraud and impersonation.

Is public sharing the biggest risk?

It’s one of the biggest. The other is phishing invites that steal credentials or sessions.

Does isolation slow down Figma?

Most modern apps work well. Pilot to ensure performance for heavy design files and tune which destinations need isolation.

How do we prevent “invite phishing”?

Use strong auth, verify unexpected invites, and isolate unknown links so risky web content doesn’t run directly on endpoints.
