Squarex wins Rising Star for innovation

SquareX has been named a winner in the Rising Star category at the CybersecAsia Readers' Choice Awards 2024.

The accolade comes in recognition of the company's accomplishments in innovative browser security solutions.

CybersecAsia Readers' Choice Awards have, over the past five years, highlighted cybersecurity organisations that are delivering impactful and ground-breaking solutions to help enterprises defend against cyber threats. This year's event, hosted at Network Hub @ Guoco Midtown, was attended by more than 70 industry veterans, regional Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), and cybersecurity practitioners who recognised winners across over 20 award categories.

Victor Ng, Editor-in-Chief of CybersecAsia, remarked on the increasing importance of browser security: "Ever since web browsers became the de facto interface for the Internet, they have also provided the biggest attack surface for bad actors. As Asia Pacific becomes a more connected and digital economy, the cyber risks posed by browsers have loomed larger. That's why we need real-time browser-native detection and response solutions, and SquareX – launched in 2023 out of Singapore – is a Rising Star providing such solutions to mitigate the risks from web-based threats."

Vivek Ramachandran, Founder and CEO of SquareX, expressed honour at receiving the award, which underscores the critical role browser security plays in the cybersecurity landscape. "SquareX is honoured to be recognised as a Rising Star winner in CybersecAsia Readers' Choice 2024 Awards because it demonstrates the crucial role and impact that browser security is bringing to the cybersecurity landscape," Ramachandran said.

Ramachandran further elaborated on the pressing need for effective browser security in enterprises: "The browser is the most used tool by enterprises but also the least protected—making it a gateway to most attacks. Enterprises need robust solutions to protect themselves from web attacks happening to enterprise users in real-time. Our browser security detection and response solution is able to detect and mitigate web threats as they happen, ensuring that enterprises are protected at all times."

SquareX sees this accolade from CybersecAsia as validation of its exceptional performance in mitigating web-based threats and solidifying its leadership position in the browser security space. The company is committed to safeguarding enterprises and their employees.
