THE EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT

Threat Actors Moved to the Browser Because Work Did

Attacks now execute within the rendered application interface, occurring after decryption and outside the view of traditional wire-based controls.

ATTACK VECTORS

Threats Execute at the point of interaction.

Client-Side Script Execution

Malicious code runs directly within the browser environment, bypassing network filters that only inspect traffic on the wire.

Input Capture and Harvesting

Credential theft occurs at the precise moment of user input, capturing keystrokes before encryption or transmission takes place.

Drive-by Compromise

Exploits trigger immediately upon rendering web resources, executing malicious logic without requiring a file download or user consent.

Towering, chaotic stack of server hardware with tangled cables in a dark data center lit by red and teal lights.

ARCHITECTURIAL REALITY

Why Wire-Based Controls Miss Browser-Native Attacks

POINT OF USE ENFORCEMENT

Security Decisions Made Where the Work Gets Done

THE BOTTOM LINE

Realign Your Architecture.

Move security decisions to the browser to restore visibility into local execution and eliminate the latency of centralized network choke points.
