More than 85% of business tasks are carried out through the browser, making it the central point of daily work. However, this trend has expanded the attack surface, exposing risks such as phishing, ransomware and attacks aimed at browsers.
This is highlighted according to the study, Palo Alto Networks, in collaboration with OMDIA, has published the report “The State of Workforce Security: Key Insights for It and Security Leaders”, where it is also revealed that 95% of the companies surveyed have experienced browse -based attacks, while 94% have been victims of phishing incidents in the last year.
And, the loss of visibility on corporate data and systems, driven by the increasing use of personal devices to access business information, has left many organizations vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated and directed cyber -cyber -cybermen.
Main vulnerabilities in browsers
The study identifies several critical factors that impact the safety of organizations:
- Expansion of the Byod model and non -managed devices: 98% of companies report breaches of policies related to the use of personal devices, and 53% admit not to be prepared to address these risks.
- Access to corporate data from personal devices: 90% of organizations allow some access, whether complete or partial, to corporate data from personal devices, and 72% consider that this represents a significant risk for safety.
95% of surveyed companies have experienced browse -based attacks, while 94% have been victims of Phishing incidents in the last year
- Mass use of unauthorized SAAS applications: Large organizations can have up to 10,000 SAAS applications in use, many of them without the approval of IT departments.
- Inspection -free encryption: 64% of encrypted traffic goes unnoticed, hiding possible threats such as malware or data filtration.
- Lack of control over generative AI tools: 65% of organizations have no visibility on shared data in artificial intelligence applications, which increases the risk of information leakage and regulatory compliance problems.
- Restrictions on mobile devices that affect productivity: 97% of organizations limit access to corporate resources from Byod devices, which although it mitigates risks, can generate difficulties in daily operation.
Sase and safe browsers
The report underlines the importance of adopting security architectures in access to the cloud (Sase), such as Prisma Sase, together with safe browsers such as Prism Access Browser to strengthen protection.
- Protection on Byod devices and not managed: Sase applies granular access policies, while safe browsers isolate Byod environments, reducing the risk of data exposure without affecting productivity.
- Risk reduction in SAAS and encryption traffic: Sase Integra Swg, CASB and ZTNA for a unified security model. Insurance browsers expand control without deciphered.
- Greater visibility and control: Sase inspects traffic and supervises the use of SAAS applications, while safe browsers reinforce security with real -time visibility.
- Protection against generative: These solutions prevent the exfiltration of data in unauthorized AI tools by advanced controls.
- Safe and friction experience: Sase integration and safe browsers allows a protected work environment without affecting productivity.
