Why Browser-Native Security is the New Must-Have for Enterprises | Inside SquareX

Be Fearless Podcast by SquareX

Shourya, principal software engineer at SquareX, joins Sasha from our Founder’s Office to discuss why enterprises need to have a security solution that runs directly in the browser. Shourya explains how traditional secure web gateways and endpoint detection tools often fall short against sophisticated client-side web attacks like Last Mile Reassembly Attacks. He shares how browser-native solutions can bridge these gaps, providing the visibility and control enterprises need to manage complex threats.
Shourya also explores common vulnerabilities organizations face, such as malicious QR codes and advanced phishing tactics, and explains how SquareX’s browser-native solution detects and neutralizes these threats. From insights on BYOD security to the importance of tracking user journeys when investigating incidents, this conversation offers a comprehensive summary on the importance of browser-native security.
