Gartner recently released a significant report highlighting the escalating importance of Secure Enterprise Browsers (SEBs) within today’s enterprise landscape. The analysis identifies Enterprise Browsers and Browser Extensions as critical solutions for addressing gaps left unprotected by traditional endpoint detection and response (EDR) and network security solutions.

Access Gartner’s full report here.

Gartner’s Key Insights:

  • Organizations that primarily rely on SaaS applications need simpler security management than traditional security stacks offer. 
  • Network security solutions often introduce increased latency by steering traffic to the cloud for inspection and decryption, negatively impacting user experience. 
  • Threat actors frequently target employees with phishing attacks to steal credentials, highlighting the need for additional visibility and control directly within the browser. 
  • SEBs embed enterprise-grade security directly into the native web browsing experience, effectively addressing vulnerabilities exposed by conventional security measures. 

Gartner’s Recommendations:

  • Full Enterprise Browser Deployment: Deploy a full enterprise browser when device posture assessment capabilities are necessary. 
  • Enterprise Browser Extensions: Choose to deploy an Enterprise Browser Extension when end users require greater flexibility in their browser choices and when the priority is securing access to applications rather than conducting extensive device posture assessments. 

How We See It:

For us, the browser is the nerve center of the modern enterprise, representing a critical security blind spot where sensitive data interactions often occur unprotected by conventional security tools. Gartner’s validation underscores the urgency of addressing this “last-mile” security gap.

Why Browser-Based Security Matters:

Our approach closely aligns with Gartner’s priorities, emphasizing seamless integration, ease of use, and frictionless security that supports existing workflows without disruption:

  • Real-Time Visibility: Instantly monitor user activity within browsers to identify and mitigate threats that traditional security tools often miss.

  • Optimized Performance: Deliver robust security directly in the browser, eliminating latency issues associated with traditional network-based inspections.
  • Seamless Integration: Enhance security without disrupting your employees’ familiar browsing experiences or daily productivity. 

Ideal Scenarios for Browser-Based Protection:

Browser-based security solutions are particularly effective for:

  • Hybrid and remote workforces heavily reliant on cloud-based SaaS tools, ensuring secure, seamless access to corporate resources from any location.
  • Unmanaged devices frequently used by contractors and third-party collaborators, enabling secure and controlled access without compromising flexibility.

Simplifying the Path to Browser Security:


Securing the browser doesn’t have to be complicated. Flexible deployment options—from comprehensive browsers to easy-to-use extensions—can seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure.

Protecting the Browser is Protecting Your Business:

As Gartner emphasizes, addressing browser vulnerabilities is not optional—it’s essential to securing your organization’s digital operations. Take proactive steps today to strengthen your security posture and guard against browser-related threats.
