In 1995, the first commercial internet browser started taking shape. Within one year, the browser wars began. By 2000, corporations took advantage of the benefits of the browser, shifted away from applications installed on desktops, and began webifying their applications.
Today more than 93% of all corporate activity is done through an internet browser. We know the names: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, MS Edge, and Opera to name a few.
For a hybrid worker, their laptop is everything. This makes it highly susceptible to being targeted by attackers. The same defense models from the 1990s are still the ones in use today. The threats are increasingly web-based and use social engineering to bypass security controls.
Once a browser allows in the malicious code, the potential to spread to the endpoint and across the network is very high. However, locking down the browser causes numerous other problems. A balance must be reached within corporations; use the browser, but use it carefully.
“If found” are the two words everyone lives by today. With today’s collaborative workplaces, it only takes a matter of minutes for a virus to infect the whole organization if not protected. As the attackers become more savvy, malware is programmed to wait for the opportune moment to cause the most damage..destroying systems, leaking data and bringing down whole corporations.
