It’s never been more challenging to work in cybersecurity. The cost of a breach keeps going up, the number of attacks is constantly increasing and the industry is in the middle of a multi-year staffing crisis. It’s no surprise that 90% of security teams see automation as essential for them to deliver on their mandate.

The web browser has long been the security sinkhole of enterprise infrastructure. While email is often cited as the most common entry point, malware often enters via the browser and is more difficult to prevent. Phishing, drive-by attacks, ransomware, SQL injections, man-in-the-middle (MitM), and other exploits all take advantage of the browser’s creaky user interface and huge attack surface, and the gullibility of most end users.
