Web browsers are increasingly the first port of call for daily business operations, whether it is email communications, sharing documents, researching information or completing financial transactions. Given their vital role across corporations and public sector agencies, web browsers have also become a common potential entry point for cyber attacks.

As new cyber risks emerge, how are organizations evolving their threat prevention techniques? Since the landscape is constantly shifting, security systems need to be responsive and adapt to innovations. Expanding on multi-layered solutions to protect sensitive data and ensure safe web activities must remain a key priority.
