Founded in London, UK in 2022, SURF Security is an endpoint protection Browser-SASE (secure access service edge) cybersecurity company that has created the world’s first enterprise zero-trust browser and extension with security at its core. These two products capitalise on the rise of both the working-from-home phenomenon, and ‘software as aservice’ or SaaS platforms that are used through a browser. SURF secures the browser itself, either replacing or augmenting consumer browsers such as Chrome, Edge, or Safari. This approach helps ensure compliance, defends organisations from breaches and protects users from social engineering attacks such as phishing—all on the user’s device. www.surf.security SURF provides users with freedom of work, letting them interact with applications, data, and each other securely. It addresses the critical business asset neglected by security experts for years: The browser.The browser is the access frontier for everything: users, data, corporate assets, applications, development activities - and cyber criminals, too. SURF Security has transformed the browser into your strongest security asset while providing complete end-user privacy – all with full compliance. Through this centralized platform, SURF insists on identity-first access to all SaaS and corporate assets to guarantee a secured and frictionless user experience. SURF enhances security, performance, and productivity for end-users and applications – faster than ever before. | Seed / Nov 07, 2022 | |
