About SquareX
SquareX sells a Browser Detection and Response (BDR) solution that organizations use to detect, mitigate and threat-hunt client-side attacks. SquareX runs entirely in the browser. SquareX works with major browsers including Chrome, Edge, FireFox and Safari. SquareX does not require enterprises to use a custom browser.[7][8][9]
SquareX focuses on securing the browser against modern threats. SquareX describes the browser as the place where nearly all work and a vast majority of cyberattacks occur today. SquareX's built-in Browser Detection and Response (BDR) capabilities detect and mitigate web-based threats such as phishing, malicious file downloads and browser-based malware in real time. SquareX has discovered and disclosed multiple zero days. SquareX researches and predicts the evolution of attacks, drawing on experience in offensive security. SquareX holds that security should not come at the cost of user experience and productivity.[7][9]
SquareX planned the launch of its enterprise product for the RSA Conference 2024 in San Francisco.[8]
SquareX's browser-based model does not require client software or virtual desktop agents to be installed on user devices. SquareX enables secure access within the user's native browser session, so users do not shift between virtual and local desktops. SquareX allows administrators to define access policies for the entire virtual environment and for each web application and internal resource. Per-application policy management limits users to accessing only what they need. SquareX access controls are device-agnostic and work across managed, unmanaged and BYOD devices. SquareX's browser-based access gives contractors and BYOD users a containerized browser session that operates independently of the local device environment.[8][9]
SquareX enables developer-specific environments, packaging thick clients through containerized desktops tailored to the workflows of each developer or team. In containerized developer desktops, developers can use IDEs like VS Code, command-line tools, database servers and other development utilities directly in their browsers.[1][2][4][5][6][8][9]
