SquareX

SquareX is designed to protect users from threats, keep them anonymous and private while browsing the web. Unlike other solutions that block access to files and websites, SquareX lets users open potentially malicious or suspicious resources without putting their security at risk. The project uses a combination of rules-based approaches, heuristic analysis and machine learning algorithms to monitor web traffic patterns and user behavior in the browser.

SquareX's features are particularly useful for enterprise users, where it can protect against malicious files and content. It performs detailed analysis of email attachments and downloaded files directly in the browser, detecting maldocs and embedded active content. The project also uses isolation technology, which means it can create a safe environment for users to view potentially dangerous websites without putting their systems at risk.

SquareX protects against a range of online threats:

• Malicious Files: Identifies and blocks malicious files to provide strong protection against document-based threats.
• Malicious Content: Uses machine learning algorithms to identify and block deceptive ads, phishing emails and business email compromise.
• Malicious Networks: Protects users from compromised DNS, malicious proxies and public Wi-Fi network risks.

The project uses browser-native security and isolation technology to protect users in real time without disrupting them. That means it can protect privacy by doing all its analysis in the browser itself.

SquareX has a strong user rating, with people saying it's easy to use and effective at improving online security and privacy. The project has been profiled in Forbes, TechCrunch and Dark Reading.

For organizations and individuals looking for strong web protection, SquareX offers a range of features to keep you safe while browsing the web.
