Optimize Security and Productivity, Starting with the Browser: Insights from New Report

[Google Cloud Platform]

The browser is increasingly becoming the central place to get work done, fueled by cloud computing, SaaS, and the growth of flexible work. Start-ups and large organizations are embracing this model, eliminating the necessity for constant connection to a corporate network and utilizing desktop operating systems to run applications. This shift marks a significant departure from traditional work setups, but introduces new challenges, such as cybersecurity threats and incidents.

To address these challenges,the browser should serve as the cornerstone of a business’s security strategy. A recent report by Enterprise Strategy Group, " Assessing Enterprise Browser Market Dynamics: Why Organizations Are Turning to Enterprise Browsers to More Effectively Secure Modern Work Styles,” confirms this with key findings:

• Knowledge workers spend an average of 63% of their productive time in the browser
• Nearly half (48%) of all business-critical applications are now browser-based
• Users desire seamless experiences across work and personal devices
• 50% of respondents prefer enterprise browser solutions from widely-used vendors
• Chrome Enterprise has the most mindshare as an enterprise browser (78%)

These trends underscore the urgent need for enterprise-grade browser solutions designed for today's workplace, where traditional security perimeter models are no longer sufficient.
