By Brian KenyonMay 31, 2022 The modern web browser has become the single most used application by enterprises worldwide. Its power, simplicity, and optimal usability has made it an obvious choice at work. And yet, the browser is not an enterprise application. It lacks the fundamental controls enterprises require to ensure proper security, visibility, and governance over their critical assets.

With so much uncertainty and the growing need for ...

Cybersecurity practitioners have always had to deal with a lot of complexities, but today's macro and global environment is exponentially more complicated (and dangerous!) than it has ever been. From pandemics, a war in Europe, ransomware attacks, hacktivism, worker and food shortages and supply chain constraints (the list goes on). More than ever cybersecurity leaders and practitioners need to stay ...
