Every cybersecurity solution out there is only probabilistically successful in protecting internet users, which is not of much comfort if they get hacked and lose money. In a statement about the funding, Anandamoy Roychowdhary, Surge partner at Sequoia Southeast Asia, said, “The online world is about to get a whole lot worse as the AI revolution gets channeled towards building malicious code. SquareX’s go-to-market strategy will focus on the United States, the United Kingdom and Asia first. “This ensures that even the most sophisticated website trackers would fail to track and log the user’s activities and tie it to their identity.” “By creating disposable environments, SquareX ensures that a user’s identity and data is decoupled when accessing the internet,” he added. Ramachandran said it is safer and more private than incognito mode because websites the user visits or files they download don’t get stored in their computer. Users can “dispose” of it at any time, which means no data is retained and the browser session is destroyed and removed from SquareX’s servers immediately. SquareX’s disposable browsers enable anonymous browsing from any location.
Pentester Academy was acquired by INE in 2021. The headless browsers run in SquareX’s data centers so threats don’t reach users’ computers and they don’t need to worry about their personal information being exposed.īefore launching SquareX, Ramachandran was the founder of Pentester Academy, a cloud-based cybersecurity training startup that lets users and enterprises study how hackers break into their company. It integrates with browsers as an extension and lets users open links and files in disposable browsers that serve as temporary container sandboxes. SquareX wants to serve as an alternative to current cybersecurity products by being tailor-made for browser-based cloud SaaS tools. The Singapore-based cybersecurity startup announced today it has raised $6 million in seed funding from Sequoia Capital Southeast Asia, which it will use on R&D engineering and its go-to-market plans. To combat browser-based vulnerabilities, Ramachandran founded SquareX. This leaves us vulnerable to security threats like phishing, identity theft and session hijacking, but many cybersecurity tools were created when the main threats were file viruses, worms and network attacks, said Vivek Ramachandran, the cybersecurity entrepreneur and researcher who discovered the Cafe Latte attack. Much of our computer time is spent in a web browser, where we check emails, create documents, transfer files, carry out online banking, shop or stream entertainment.
