Browser security might be the hardest category we've assessed to pin down. There's so much capability packed into it now that working out exactly what you need it to do becomes the real challenge. What was once simple URL filtering now spans DNS security, SaaS control, credential theft prevention, AI visibility/control, and zero trust network access. Each of those is a problem a team might be trying to solve on its own, often with a separate tool and a separate line item. So the question we keep coming back to with clients isn't which browser product is best. It's what are you actually trying to solve, and how much of it could one layer cover. That's what excites us at Tekspace about the solutions in the category. Things we were paying for separately now browser security can absorb; DNS as a point solution, virtual desktop, a faster VPN alternative. We're hosting a live session on 24 June walking through our assessment of the top products that can do this, what they cover, where they consolidate, and how to judge them against your own problem: https://lnkd.in/gxR4j2ZA The full research is here: https://lnkd.in/gaGuuXRe

Before assessing any email security vendor, knowing it's architecture is key. Essentially, the era a platform was built in caps what it can structurally do. I explain what each stage means at a high level below, but I wanted to add the extra context too. These are the four 'architectural' eras worth knowing: 1. On-prem appliance, early 2000s to mid-2010s. Mail servers in your racks, security platform in front, everything inside your perimeter. Suited the threats of its decade. 2. Cloud gateway, these are the players that arrived alongside Microsoft and Google. Change your DNS, mail flows through the vendor's cloud, they scan and deliver. Most well-known email security brands still sit here. 3. Post-delivery API, integrating into Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace directly. Scans after delivery, pulls anything malicious back out. Richer in context than the gateway generation because it can see internal mail. 4. Inline API, the current generation. Sits inside the productivity tenant at the platform layer, intercepting before the user sees it. Visibility across the entire tenant, including the lateral phishing and account takeover patterns nothing in the earlier generations can structurally see. The threats that matter most in 2026, account takeover combined with lateral movement inside trusted tenants, sit architecturally outside what eras two and three can address. If your platform is from a previous era, it's not capable of offering anywhere near the security you need. The Tekspace Cyber Lab Email Security analysis maps the top platforms in each era.
