In a cloud-first world, the browser has become one of the most used — and most overlooked — entry points for attacks. This webinar explains why traditional security controls no longer address modern browser-based threats and how a secure enterprise browser can enhance visibility, access controls, and data protection across SaaS and web environments. You’ll learn how attackers exploit browser behaviour, what a managed secure browser offers, and how to build a practical browser-security strategy that supports hybrid work and unmanaged devices.

In an increasingly cloud-driven world, web browsers have quietly become one of the most widely used — yet least protected — components in the enterprise IT environment. As employees access SaaS applications, business systems, and sensitive data from a mix of managed and unmanaged devices, the browser has rapidly evolved into a critical attack vector for phishing, credential theft, data leakage, and advanced web-based threats.

In this webinar we explore why traditional perimeter and endpoint security are no longer enough, and how organisations can strengthen their security posture by treating the browser as a first-class security control point.

We will introduce the concept of the secure enterprise browser — a managed, policy-driven browser that provides visibility, data protection, granular access controls, and threat prevention across all web and application traffic. Leaving the browser safe while the users maintain their flexibility to work anytime, anywhere.

Whether you are responsible for IT security, infrastructure, compliance, endpoint management or SaaS governance, this webinar will give you a clear understanding of how browser-centric attacks operate and how a secure enterprise browser strategy can mitigate today’s evolving risks.
