Secure Mailchimp browsing

Secure Mailchimp browsing means protecting marketing accounts from phishing, session theft, and data leakage—because email tools are frequently targeted.

Quick answer

Legba can isolate browser sessions while your team uses Mailchimp.

Marketing tools see frequent account‑takeover attempts (ads, auth prompts, shared access). Isolation helps reduce exposure from untrusted links used alongside Mailchimp.

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

When you need this

Your team uses Mailchimp 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.
