"If you aren't securing the browser, you've got a hole in your security posture — big enough to drive an APT through."
Jerry Hoff — our Chief Cybersecurity Strategist — is on a mission to change that reality. He's created The Browser Security Academy, an eye-opening video series that dives deep into the latest browser threats — breaking down complex attack vectors into understandable, actionable insights for security leaders.

Hear what other cybersecurity pioneers have to say about the importance of securing the browser:
"I access my traditional office apps through the web browser, email — all through the browser. The browser is eating the world."
Jeff Moss
Founder, DEF CON and Black Hat
"When a machine gets infected by way of the browser, there's a hole in the visibility inside the browser in the click path. That's a blind spot for the endpoint players because on the desktop, they need that visibility in the browser."
Jeremiah Grossman
Founder, WhiteHat Security and Grossman Ventures
"Security needs to 'shift up' to where the threats are actually happening: in the browser itself."
Vivek Ramachandran
