Browser security aims to protect users from cyber threats encountered online, such as fishing,

malicious extensions, and malware.

It's a complex, multifaceted challenge that's increasingly important as cloud-based tools,

SaaS platforms, and collaborative applications become the backbone of modern workflows.

Jesswin Matai is the chief architect at SquareX, which is a cybersecurity company focused on protecting users and companies from web-based threats.

Jesswin joins the podcast to talk about SquareX and modern strategies for browser security.

Hi, Jesswin.

Welcome to Software Engineering Daily.

Hi, Gregor.

It's great to be here.

Yeah, so Jesswin, great to have you on today.

You're here from Square X, which we're going to hear all about. Just, you know, sort of spoiler.

It's all sort of insecurity. And we're going to be talking a lot about browser security today.

But yeah, it's a very hot day in Singapore today.

So it's nice to have you here.

But let's, you know, start the normal way, so to speak.

leaving high school to kind of square X?
