SquareX

SquareX is a cybersecurity startup based in Singapore, founded in 2020 by Vivek Ramachandran. The company specializes in Browser Detection and Response (BDR) solutions, designed to protect enterprises from client-side web attacks. Its core product is a browser extension that turns any consumer browser into an enterprise-grade secure browser. This allows organizations to detect and mitigate threats such as rogue AI agents, malicious extensions, and phishing attacks while ensuring a smooth user experience. SquareX primarily serves the enterprise sector, focusing on securing access for contractors, remote workers, and users on unmanaged devices. The platform utilizes cloud-based headless browsers to open links and files in disposable sandboxes, preventing threats from reaching users' devices. Additional features include malicious file scanning, browser isolation, and identity attack protection. With a mission to empower organizations in threat detection and mitigation, SquareX is positioned to enhance cybersecurity without compromising productivity. The company has raised $26 million in funding, with major investors including Peak XV Partners and SYN Ventures.
