SquareX, the primary browser security firm, is set to debut in Australia at the Melbourne CyberCon 2024 event, hosted by AISA (Australian Information Security Association), running from November 26th to 28th, 2024. SquareX will unveil its revolutionary Browser Detection and Response (BDR) innovation at StartUp Booth 42, addressing the increasing threat of browser-based cyber attacks on employees.
Given that the browser is the most utilized application in businesses, yet the least safeguarded, browser security poses a growing danger to enterprises. This risk is further heightened due to the lack of visibility into the browser by endpoint security, and limitations of SASE/SSE solutions like Secure Web Gateways (SWG) in detecting client-side attacks solely through network traffic analysis.
SquareX bridges this void with a browser-native security layer that operates directly within the browser environment. Employing comprehensive data metrics such as browser DOM insights and user context, SquareX enables security teams to establish precise security protocols to safeguard employees against web-based threats. In an effort to aid enterprises in evaluating their security posture, SquareX has also introduced scan.browser.security — a website that showcases over 25 SWG bypass methods for organizations and vendors to assess their existing security stance.
“There is a rising global and Australian threat from cyber attacks. According to reports from authorities like the Australian Signals Directorate in its recent Cyber Threat Report 2022-2023, malicious cyber activities continue to endanger Australia’s security and prosperity,” mentioned Vivek Ramachandran, Founder and CEO of SquareX.
SquareX’s browser-native security solution, deployed as a browser extension across major platforms, detects client-side threats, prevents data breaches, facilitates secure access for unmanaged devices to private applications, and more. Ramachandran further added, “Our solution enables security teams to promptly thwart attacks and conduct thorough threat investigations throughout the organization.”
A special session is scheduled for Wednesday, November 27 at 2pm (AEST), where SquareX Founder Vivek Ramachandran and Chief Architect Jeswin Mathai will present a talk entitled “The Silver Bullet in Your Enterprise Defense Strategy: Browser Security Solutions”. This discourse will explore the reasons why SMEs and non-profits should opt for a native browser security solution for protection, and provide insights on selecting the ideal solution based on factors such as scalability, attack coverage, and cost.
Witness SquareX’s BDR solution in action at Booth 42, AISA Melbourne CyberCon via live demonstrations, and witness firsthand how SquareX’s browser-native method bridges vital gaps in the current cybersecurity realm.
Attendees are urged to book a demo slot here to secure a chance to meet the team this November.
