Are internet browsers vulnerable to cyber assaults?
In today's digital landscape, large organizations are increasingly relying on thousands of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. To address the growing browser-related security risks in this hybrid work environment, integrating secure browsers and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) has emerged as a game-changer.
Secure browsers, with their key features such as Advanced Threat Protection, Data Protection, and a user-friendly experience, offer robust protection against advanced phishing attacks, malware, and unauthorized data transfers. By enforcing multi-factor authentication for sensitive actions and providing seamless access to any app, secure browsers ensure security without compromising user productivity.
On the other hand, SASE, a cloud-based network architecture, combines networking and security services into a single framework. It offers unified security policy enforcement, advanced security services like Secure Web Gateways, Cloud Access Security Brokers, and Firewall-as-a-Service, and real-time threat detection. SASE enables secure, seamless access to applications and data, regardless of user location, making it an ideal solution for efficient and scalable hybrid work and cloud adoption.
The integration of secure browsers and SASE provides several benefits. Firstly, it enhances security by offering comprehensive protection against both internal and external threats. Secondly, it simplifies management by reducing the need for multiple separate solutions. Thirdly, it improves the user experience by ensuring that security measures do not impede productivity. Fourthly, it supports compliance requirements by enforcing consistent policies across all access points and scales to meet the needs of growing or distributed workforces.
In the face of the rising number of policy violations involving Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the increasing use of unmanaged devices in the hybrid workforce, securing the browser with security that seamlessly extends to every device is crucial. Secure browsers, integrated with SASE, can help overcome these challenges without affecting user experience or disrupting business.
With 95% of organizations having experienced an attack originating in the browser and 94% of companies dealing with phishing incidents, it is clear that the browser has become the center of modern work. Leveraging secure browsers and SASE helps complete the security picture, reducing risk and empowering productivity in the evolving work environment. However, none of the participating companies in recent surveys fully deployed their security controls across all devices, leaving vulnerabilities exposed.
In conclusion, in the era of hybrid work and increased reliance on SaaS applications, integrating secure browsers and SASE is a strategic move for organizations seeking to balance security with user experience, ensuring robust protection without compromising productivity or disrupting business operations.
