The browser has become the most dangerous application in the enterprise. In minutes, a user can move regulated data into a GenAI prompt, exfiltrate source code to an unmanaged device, or expose credentials to a malicious site. As CISOs grapple with this new enterprise browser reality, Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Frost Radar™ for Global Zero Trust Browser Security named Seraphic a Leader, highlighting that securing the browser is now central to enterprise data loss prevention and AI governance.
Why the enterprise browser is the new control plane
Frost & Sullivan notes that the browser is rapidly becoming “the hub of enterprise activity,” displacing VPNs, VDI, and proxy-based SWGs as the primary way users access SaaS, web, and internal apps. This shift concentrates both productivity and risk on a single surface: an enterprise browser or browser extension that must handle identity, access, data protection, and threat detection without getting in the user’s way.
The report forecasts that the zero trust browser security (ZTBS) market will grow from $622 million in 2025 at an 18.9% CAGR through 2030, driven by demand for lightweight, browser-native security that works across managed and unmanaged (such as BYOD) endpoints. For CISOs, that growth reflects a strategic realignment: organizations are looking at the browser as the policy enforcement point for data loss prevention, AI usage, and SaaS access.
Seraphic’s position on the Frost Radar™
Seraphic appears in the upper-right quadrant as one of the leaders in the market, reflecting strong scores on both the Innovation Index and Growth Index.
Unlike vendors that lock customers into a proprietary browser, Seraphic takes a browser-agnostic approach: a browser agent deployed via extension, workspace mode for unmanaged/BYOD devices, and a secure mobile browser for iOS and Android together turn any browser into an enterprise browser.
This aligns directly with Frost & Sullivan’s best practices, finding that enterprises favor solutions that overlay existing workflows and avoid forcing users off familiar browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
From data loss prevention to AI browser security
For CISOs focused on data loss prevention, the report emphasizes Seraphic’s ability to provide protection, governance, and security at the browser layer while remaining transparent to users. Because Seraphic’s platform operates at the JavaScript engine level, of all browsers, it can intercept native API calls and user actions in real time, enabling granular controls on copy/paste, uploads, downloads, and field-level data access in SaaS applications. This is critical for preventing data leakage from managed and unmanaged devices into personal apps, GenAI tools, and other unmanaged destinations.
The report highlights Seraphic’s ability to integrate with existing SSO/IdPs, EDR, CDR, SIEM/SOAR, and SSPM, as well as its protection for new AI browsers such as Perplexity Comet and OpenAI Atlas. That protection includes AI usage visibility, prompt inspection, and model-compliance hooks that allow organizations to enforce acceptable use and context-aware DLP directly in the browser, rather than relying solely on network or endpoint layers.
Frost & Sullivan cites Seraphic’s innovative architecture as a key reason for its leadership position. Seraphic’s Chaotic Target Defense mechanism introduces randomization into JavaScript primitives at runtime, effectively disrupting exploit chains and providing zero-day browser protection regardless of whether the vulnerability is known.
What this means for CISOs: four concrete moves
Frost & Sullivan’s analysis surfaces several actionable takeaways for security leaders evaluating enterprise browser strategies:
1. Make the browser your primary enforcement point
CISOs should treat the enterprise browser as the central control plane for access, DLP, security, and AI governance. Seraphic’s browser-agnostic model makes this feasible without re-platforming users or introducing latency into workflows. Seraphic is easily deployed and can be rolled out to distributed teams on managed and unmanaged devices.
2. Prioritize context-aware DLP in the browser
With most of today’s workflows being done in the browser, traditional DLP solutions lack the visibility or control over actions such as copy/paste between browser sessions, encryption of data at the clipboard level, or what’s being entered into AI prompts. Seraphic’s JavaScript protection and enterprise browser controls allow organizations to enforce application-specific policies at a granular level, closing critical data loss gaps.
3. Plan now for AI browsers and agentic workflows
Frost & Sullivan expects the proliferation of AI-first browsers and agentic agents to significantly increase demand for in-browser governance capabilities. Seraphic’s capabilities give CISOs a path to consistent controls as these new interfaces gain adoption.
4. Exploit consolidation and platform economics
The report predicts continued consolidation as enterprises seek to rationalize overlapping tools and move toward horizontal platforms with deep browser integration, AI-readiness, and the ability to provide secure remote access. By using Seraphic as a unified enterprise browser platform, and a “low-cost, low-infrastructure alternative to legacy SASE vendors,” CISOs can reduce proxy and cloud costs while simplifying policy management across the web, SaaS, and GenAI.
The road ahead and why Seraphic is a leader
In naming Seraphic a leader in the 2025 Frost Radar™ for Zero Trust Browser Security, Frost & Sullivan effectively validates what many CISOs are already concluding: securing the enterprise browser is no longer optional, and doing it well requires deep innovation, not just incremental controls.
Seraphic’s combination of browser-agnostic deployment, AI-native governance, and rapid enterprise momentum makes it a strong choice for organizations that need to protect data, manage AI risk, and modernize access without disrupting how employees work.
