SquareX: The Future of BYOD Security for Enterprises

Convert the Browsers on BYOD / Unmanaged Devices into Secure Browsing Sessions

As modern enterprises continue to adapt to the flexible work culture, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies have become a standard practice. However, protecting sensitive corporate data while maintaining user privacy and a seamless work experience has proven to be a difficult balancing act for many organizations.

SquareX’s BYOD solution offers a breakthrough approach that also delivers a frictionless user experience, while respecting employee privacy. In this blog post, we’ll dive into how SquareX’s BYOD solution works and why it’s the right choice for enterprises looking to upgrade their device management strategies.

How SquareX’s BYOD Solution Works

SquareX integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise infrastructure to transform the web browser into a secure environment where corporate data and applications are accessed.

Step 1:
The user accesses an enterprise application, such as Slack or OneDrive, through their browser. They are immediately redirected to an Identity Provider (IDP) like Ping Identity or Okta to authenticate.

Step 2:
The user inputs their login credentials on the IDP page. At this point, the IDP starts the authentication process.

Step 3:
Simultaneously, SquareX collects important browser signals and assesses the device’s posture or health. This data helps determine if the device is secure enough to be allowed access to the enterprise app.

Step 4:
Once the IDP has verified the user’s identity and SquareX confirms that the device meets security requirements, the session is considered trustworthy.

Step 5:
After both the IDP trust and device trust are established, the session is validated, and the IDP redirects the user to the enterprise application, granting access to the desired app.
