SquareX Founder Vivek Ramachandran Talks Browser security:‘The Browser Has to Get More Intelligent.’

Vivek Ramachandran discusses modern browser security, emphasizing that traditional URL analysis is outdated. With employees spending over 90% of their work time in browsers, security solutions must innovate here. His company, SquareX, aims to counter emerging threats using browser-native technology and machine learning for attack detection. Recent vulnerabilities in mail services suggest that existing protections are insufficient, particularly against clever social engineering tactics. Ramachandran believes future browser security will function as an AI-enabled security assistant, adapting to user needs amidst evolving threats.
