Workplace security has never been more critical. Hybrid work, cloud applications, and AI-powered tools have revolutionized productivity, but they’ve also introduced unprecedented cybersecurity risks.
- 85% of employees now conduct their work inside web browsers.
- 95% of organizations report browser-based cyberattacks.
- 98% of businesses experience BYOD security violations.
Yet, traditional firewalls, endpoint security, and VPNs were never designed for this modern, browser-based world. The solution? A Zero Trust, browser-first security approach. With Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Access Browser, enterprises can eliminate browser-based cyber risks, secure any device, and replace costly legacy solutions—all while enhancing user experience. Combined with C1’s Security Services, organizations can deploy, manage, and optimize Prisma Access Browser for maximum security and business agility.
The Growing Cybersecurity Gap in the Modern Workplace
According to Gartner, by 2026, over 75% of enterprises will adopt security solutions focused on the browser. Why? Because threats are shifting:
- Unmanaged Devices & BYOD Risks – 67% of organizations allow personal smartphones & laptops for work, creating blind spots for IT security teams.
- SaaS Proliferation – The average enterprise uses 437+ cloud-based applications, but lacks visibility into data sharing & third-party risks.
- AI & Shadow IT Challenges – Employees increasingly use unsanctioned AI tools like ChatGPT without security controls, risking data leaks & compliance violations.
Legacy solutions like VPNs, VDI, and endpoint security can’t keep up. A browser-native Zero Trust approach is required to secure access, protect data, and improve efficiency.
