Browser-based attacks evade endpoint detection tools
Browser-based threats can slip past endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools because many attacks now happen within authenticated SaaS browser sessions, rather than with traditional malware on the host. Recent incidents saw attackers stealing OAuth tokens through phishing campaigns, replaying session credentials, and accessing sensitive data entirely via the browser, leaving little evidence for EDR to catch. Most business apps are now accessed exclusively through browsers.
- EDR tools often miss browser-based SaaS attacks
- 79% of apps in survey are browser-only
- Attackers replay stolen browser sessions to access data
- Adversary-in-the-middle phishing bypasses endpoint checks
