Over the past two decades, the browser has evolved from a simple web rendering engine to the primary gateway through which users interact with the internet, be it for work, leisure or transactions. In other words, browsers are becoming the new endpoint. Yet, despite the exponential growth of browser-native attacks, traditional security solutions continue to focus on endpoint and network, leaving a large gaping hole when it comes to browser security. SquareX has started the Year of Browser Bugs (YOBB), a yearlong initiative to draw attention to the lack of security research and rigor in what remains one of the most understudied attack vectors - the browser.

In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin gets to chat with Vivek Ramachandran, Co-Founder and CEO of SquareX, at the Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas. The discussion centers around SquareX's innovative approach to browser security and its relevance in today's cybersecurity landscape.Vivek explains that SquareX is developing a browser-native security product designed to detect, mitigate, and hunt threats in real-time, specifically focusing on the online activities of enterprise employees. This solution operates entirely within the browser, leveraging advanced technologies like WebAssembly to ensure minimal impact on the user experience.The conversation shifts to the upcoming DEF CON talk by Vivek, titled “Breaking Secure Web Gateways for Fun and Profit,” which highlights the seven sins of secure web gateways and SASE SSE solutions. According to Vivek, these cloud proxies often fail to detect and block web attacks due to inherent architectural limitations. He mentions SquareX's research revealing over 25 different bypasses, emphasizing the need for a new approach to tackle these vulnerabilities effectively.Sean and Vivek further discuss the practical implementation of SquareX's solution. Vivek underscores that traditional security measures often overlook browser activities, presenting a blind spot for many organizations. SquareX aims to fill this gap by providing comprehensive visibility and real-time threat detection without relying on cloud connectivity.Vivek also answers questions about the automatic nature of the browser extension deployment, ensuring it does not disrupt day-to-day operations for users or IT teams. Additionally, he touches on the importance of organizational training and awareness, helping security teams interpret new types of alerts and attacks that occur within the browser environment.Towards the end of the episode, Vivek introduces a new attack toolkit designed for organizations to test their own secure web gateways and SASE SSE solutions, empowering them to identify vulnerabilities firsthand. He encourages security leaders to use this tool and visit a dedicated website for practical demonstrations.Listeners are invited to connect with Vivek and the SquareX team, especially those attending Black Hat and DEF CON, to learn more about this innovative approach to browser security.Learn more about SquareX: https://itspm.ag/sqrx-l91Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Vivek Ramachandran, Founder, SquareX [@getsquarex]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/vivekramachandran/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from SquareX: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/squarexView all of our Black Hat USA  2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-usa-2024-hacker-summer-camp-2024-event-coverage-in-las-vegasAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

Attackers are targeting enterprise users when they are online via attacks like spear phishing, malicious docs infected with malware/ransomware. Today SASE/SSE's Secure Web Gateway (SWG) component is touted as the solution to this problem. These SWGs look at traffic between the enterprise users and websites and try to infer attacks. Unfortunately, attackers are subverting these SWGs and breaking into enterprises. There is an urgent need to stop this and the solution seems to be to have a browser native security agent which can detect-mitigate attacks happening on the users browser and allow enterprises to threat hunt web attacks company wide.
