SquareX Raised $30M to Defend Web Browsers. But Why?

Open For Business

Could working in your browser with tools like Google Docs and Salesforce be the biggest cyber threat facing enterprises today? According to Vivek Ramachandran, founder of SquareX, the answer is a resounding yes. He argues that as work has moved entirely online, traditional security has been left blind to a new generation of sophisticated, browser-native attacks.

This is precisely why his cybersecurity firm raised $30 million.

Vivek explains how his team is pioneering a new category, Browser Detection and Response, to protect the new enterprise endpoint: the web browser itself. He unpacks the strategy, SaaS model, and vision required to tackle this critical, underserved market.

We discuss:

• Why the web browser is the new front line for cyber attacks.

• The critical security gaps left by traditional antivirus and EDR.

• Key lessons from raising $30M to build a new product category.

• Using thought leadership at Defcon & Black Hat to win enterprise clients.

• The journey from a successful exit to tackling a new global problem.

Whether you're a CISO, tech founder, or an investor tracking the future of cybersecurity, this is a masterclass in why you need to rethink where the real threats lie.
