SquareX's browser extension turns any browser on any device into an enterprise-grade secure browser. The company's Browser Detection and Response solution empowers enterprises to detect, mitigate and threat-hunt client-side web attacks including malicious browser extensions, rogue AI agents and identity attacks. SquareX also provides Browser Data Loss Protection including GenAI data loss, insider threat and data exfiltration attack protection Last but not least, its Enterprise Browser capabilities allows employees to securely access internal apps including thick clients apps, via their consumer browser, without the deployment and user experience challenges of a dedicated enterprise browser.
“It is a great honor to be named a SINET16 Innovator. As the pioneer in the browser security space, it is great to see security leaders recognize not only browser security as a critical space, but also SquareX’s approach to solving it," said Vivek Ramachandran, Founder and CEO of SquareX. "As the new endpoint, the browser has not only become the most common initial access vector for attacks and data exfiltration, but also the primary platform through which users are interacting with AI. Yet, traditional security solutions like EDRs and SASE/SSE have little to no visibility into this complex platform. At SquareX, our product innovation has always been fueled by research. This year alone, we discovered over 12 zero day architectural vulnerabilities in the browser this year alone. We believe that this is a major differentiator as customers want to look for thought leaders when it comes to defending against a new threatscape.”
"SINET hosts the annual SINET16 Innovator Awards in service of our mission: to advance innovation to defeat global cybersecurity threats," said Robert Rodriguez, Chairman, SINET, Venture Partner, SYN Ventures.
