SquareX Set to Revolutionize Browser Security at GovWare 2024

Singapore, Oct. 7, 2024 — As the digital landscape continues to evolve, so too do the threats that organizations face. SquareX, a pioneering browser security company, is poised to make waves at GovWare 2024, taking place from October 15-17. With its groundbreaking Browser Detection and Response (BDR) solution, SquareX is addressing a critical gap in enterprise security by focusing on client-side web attacks that occur directly within the browser.

The Browser: A Double-Edged Sword

In today’s enterprise environment, the web browser stands as the most frequently used application, yet it remains one of the least protected. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting this weak link, exploiting vulnerabilities during the daily online activities of employees and consultants. SquareX’s BDR technology is uniquely designed to combat these real-time threats, ensuring that organizations can maintain productivity without sacrificing security.

Challenging the Status Quo of Security Solutions

While many enterprises rely on Secure Web Gateways (SWGs) to safeguard their networks, SquareX’s research has unveiled a troubling reality: traditional SWGs may not be as effective as previously thought. The company highlights a specific class of attacks known as Last Mile Reassembly Attacks, which can circumvent even the most reputable SWGs listed in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Access Security Edge (SASE) and Secure Security Edge (SSE). This revelation calls into question the efficacy of conventional security measures and underscores the need for a more robust solution.

To help organizations assess their vulnerability to these attacks, SquareX has launched a dedicated website, browser.security, where enterprises and vendors can evaluate their security posture against these emerging threats.

A Comprehensive Solution to Client-Side Threats

SquareX’s BDR solution is engineered to intercept and neutralize client-side attacks that often slip through the cracks of traditional security frameworks. These include:

• Last Mile Reassembly Attacks
• Malicious QR Codes
• Browser-in-the-Browser (BitB) Phishing
• Macro-Based Malware

Vivek Ramachandran, Founder and CEO of SquareX, emphasizes the urgency of addressing these threats: “Today, the browser is always the initial access point for web attacks. SquareX’s technology stops these attacks in their tracks—in the browser itself, in real-time against complex client-side threats—without ever compromising employees’ security and productivity.”

Showcasing Innovation at GovWare 2024

At GovWare 2024, SquareX will demonstrate how its BDR solution fills the critical gaps left by traditional SWGs. Attendees, including Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), Heads of Security, and cybersecurity professionals, are invited to visit Booth B20 for live demonstrations. The SquareX team will showcase over 30 techniques that attackers are currently exploiting, providing a stark reminder of the evolving threat landscape.

“Through our live demos, we aim to foster discussions on the future of browser security and the new BDR solution space,” adds Ramachandran. This engagement will not only highlight the capabilities of SquareX’s technology but also encourage collaboration among cybersecurity leaders to address the pressing challenges of today’s digital environment.
