Browser-Native Ransomware Webinar

In March 2025, SquareX disclosed Browser-Native Ransomware, or how ransomware has now evolved to target the browser.

With the migration of critical data to cloud and third-party SaaS applications, attackers no longer need to deliver malware to endpoints. Instead, they've developed numerous, low-effort methods to gain access to sensitive data through browser-based techniques. Without ever hitting the disk, browser-native ransomware attacks never trigger EDR inspection.

It is only a matter of time before an intelligent adversary conducts the first large-scale ransomware campaign without ever touching the device, and in this webinar, SquareX’s field CISO John Carse will cover the tectonic shift towards browser-based attacks, different ways the attack can be executed and how enterprises can protect themselves.
