The Attacker's Distributed Supercomputer: Your Browser
As the browser transforms into the primary computing platform, new vulnerabilities are surfacing that existing security architectures are not prepared to tackle. This gap leaves enterprises exposed to risks like Last Mile Reassembly Attacks, Polymorphic Extensions and Browser-Native Ransomware, which exploit the browser's complexity beyond the reach of traditional tools.
This talk explores how the shift to browser-centric workflows has uncovered a critical weak spot at the very heart of organizations around the world, currently unprotected by conventional security measures, allowing both internal and external threat actors to bypass controls.
Led by SquareX's Chief Security Strategist Jerry Hoff, you'll learn about how the browser has evolved into today's biggest attack surface, how attackers are exploiting browser vulnerabilities and how these threats can be prevented by browser-native security.

Without visibility into the browser, traditional endpoint security solutions and web proxies that rely on URL filtering are obsolete against client-side web attacks.
In contrast, SquareX's browser-native protection monitors page content, user interactions and other events in real-time, catching these attacks at the point of engagement—before damage occurs.
