Browser security has become one of the most critical priorities for IT and cybersecurity leaders.
To better understand how organizations are addressing modern browser-based threats, Parallels collaborated with Omdia to survey 400 IT and cybersecurity professionals across North America. The research explores:
- The current state of the browser security landscape
