In this episode, we explore the hidden risks posed by one of the most overlooked elements of the modern enterprise tech stack: browser extensions.
In this episode we will unpack key insights from the newly released Enterprise Browser Extension Security Report 2025 - a data-driven look into how widely-used browser extensions are impacting enterprise security postures.

As the browser becomes the de facto interface for SaaS access, identity, and day-to-day productivity, extensions often slip under the radar of traditional security programs. But with capabilities like DOM access, clipboard monitoring, and cookie extraction, they’re increasingly being exploited as a backdoor into sensitive data and sessions.

Together, our AI hosts examine the anatomy of malicious extensions, the shortcomings of existing SSE and endpoint protection tools in detecting them, and what enterprises can do to regain visibility and control - especially in BYOD and hybrid environments.

Why are popular extensions like Grammarly or ad blockers being flagged by security researchers? What controls should security teams implement to protect against extension-based threats? Tune in to this episode for answers, insights, and actionable recommendations.
