Summary

Modern browsers, despite their sandbox security model, are vulnerable to sophisticated threats that bypass traditional security tools. These threats exploit inherent browser features to conduct credential theft, deploy malicious extensions, and enable lateral movement. Enterprises face a security blind spot between endpoints and cloud environments, where traditional defenses lack visibility. The webinar 'The Browser Sandbox & Its Top 3 Threats' by Keep Aware highlights these vulnerabilities and provides insights on enhancing browser security. The three primary threats are credential theft, malicious extensions, and lateral movement. Credential theft involves social engineering and session hijacking to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). Malicious extensions can harvest data, inject ads, or act as malware backdoors. Lateral movement uses browser-native features to extend control beyond the browser context, leading to data loss and device compromise.
