This platform equips organizations to proactively detect, mitigate, and hunt advanced web attacks targeting the browser directly. Its specialized technology addresses critical security gaps, fortifying a significant entry point for modern cyber threats.
The company was founded by Vivek Ramachandran, a seasoned entrepreneur and cybersecurity expert.

Ramachandran established SquareX to develop purpose-built technology, transforming the browser into a resilient component of enterprise security.
