Curb security threats with ease. SquareX is a Singapore-based startup offering a browser extension solution to help enterprises detect, mitigate, and respond to security threats.

  • Now, they just raised a $20M Series A.

Investor check. SYN Ventures led the round, while Peak XV Partners also joined in!

  • They raised a $6M seed last 2023.

☝🏼 The ABCs of SquareX

SquareX offers browser detection and response solutions to help organizations manage malicious extensions, phishing, GenAI data leakage, insider threats, and more.

They help you keep safe and anonymous online. Oh, and it’s also available as an extension on Chrome, Brave, and Microsoft Edge.

  • Their system monitors browser events, detects web attacks, then blocks, isolates, and disarms the threats—all within the browser environment!

Why that matters. Existing cybersecurity solutions aren’t user-friendly, making it hard for people to actually use the product. 

  • Most of the time, you have to download files or install software! But with SquareX, users only need to add a browser extension. 

👣 Next moves

They’ll use the $$$ to build more product features for browser security. 

  • Oh, and they’ll also expand their teams in the US.
