The browser is where attacks land. Why is security still focused on the endpoint?
↗
Security strategies continue to prioritize endpoint protection despite browsers becoming the dominant attack surface for enterprise threats.
Engineers building or maintaining security stacks must reconcile legacy endpoint defenses with the reality that most modern attacks originate in the browser. This mismatch leaves gaps where phishing, credential theft, and malicious scripts bypass traditional controls. The shift demands reallocating resources toward browser isolation, session monitoring, and zero-trust policies for web-based workflows.

Browsers now host the majority of enterprise work, making them the primary vector for cyberattacks.
Endpoint-focused security tools may overlook browser-specific threats like malicious extensions or drive-by downloads.
Adapting defenses requires trade-offs between user experience, performance overhead, and granular browser-level controls.
