We use the web browser to do everything these days. It’s where 85% of work happens, whether accessing your SaaS apps like checking a sales lead in Salesforce or requesting time off in Workday. However, most people take for granted the fact that consumer browsers are inherently insecure because they were built to provide access to online information, not to protect you against incoming risks from the sites and apps you are accessing.

As a result, 95% of companies have experienced a security incident originating from a browser — because these “consumer-grade” tools simply do not protect users against today’s most sophisticated attacks.

Then there’s the growth in unmanaged devices, like your personal mobile phone or an independent worker's laptop – anything not issued and managed by your company. Without the visibility and protection found on managed devices, these devices create an entry point for malware and malicious actors when connecting to corporate resources.

In fact, a recent survey conducted by Omdia found that approximately 90% of organizations allow users to access corporate apps from personal devices, and 95% of threats originate from unsecured devices. Additionally, 53% of organizations surveyed weren’t confident in their ability to address security issues in unmanaged or poorly managed devices.

For these reasons, the browser remains the final frontier in cybersecurity and remains a major hurdle to securing both managed and unmanaged devices. At the same time, users demand the flexibility and freedom to bravely explore, discover and invent — while being safe and protected every step of the way, everywhere they go.
