The 2026 State of Browser Security Report shows that browsers have become the most critical and least protected control point as AI-native browsers and embedded copilots moved from experiment to mainstream in 2025. The report highlights growing gaps in visibility and governance—especially around sensitive uploads, personal accounts, browser-based attacks, and risky extensions. #KeepAware #AIcopilots
Keypoints
- The browser is now the primary execution layer for modern work and often lacks equivalent security controls.
- AI-native browsers and embedded copilots became mainstream in 2025, changing how employees draft, analyze, code, and automate tasks.
- Sensitive data is frequently uploaded to corporate and personal accounts, creating blind spots for traditional DLP and governance.
- Attackers are shifting to browser-based techniques—phishing, malicious extensions, and social engineering—that bypass network and endpoint defenses.
- Managing extension risk and in-session data exposure requires continuous, browser-native visibility and control.
