1. A computer-implemented method of providing protection from ransomware attacks, comprising:
extending a browser to form an extended enterprise browser for an endpoint device in an enterprise network environment to support at least two different endpoint authentication security certificates corresponding to at least two different ransomware risk level postures; and
authenticating a user of the endpoint device with an identity provider, wherein an authentication security certificate is selected by the extended enterprise browser based on at least one of a ransomware threat risk level of the endpoint device and a ransomware threat risk level of the enterprise network environment.
