The Security Blindspot: Real Attack Insights from Real Browser Attacks
The browser is the home of modern work. It’s where we access tools, collaborate, research, engage with peers, transact, and share information. Many critical business applications, from customer relationship management (CRM) systems like Salesforce to collaborative platforms like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, are accessed entirely through web browsers.
Web applications have become central to productivity, allowing employees to manage projects, communicate, analyze data, and perform countless other tasks without installing software on their local devices. This reliance on SaaS and web apps underscores just how much the browser has become the foundation of modern work, serving as the primary interface for accessing and interacting with the tools and data essential to an organization’s daily operations.
For many, browsers are so seamlessly integrated into our daily routines that they've become a fully trusted platform to access the internet. The browser experience is often seamless, and many users have never had a negative experience that would erode that trust. As a result, we click links, open tabs, and download files without a second thought, trusting that the actions we are taking are safe. This complacency can make us vulnerable, especially if we neglect basic security practices like keeping our browser updated, scrutinizing links before clicking, or being wary of downloading files from untrusted sources. We assume that we are protected, but the reality is that the threat landscape is constantly evolving, and browsers and users can be exploited by malicious actors.
