SquareX @ Cyber Security World Asia + GovWare 2024

October 2024 marked an exciting time for SquareX as we returned to our home ground, Singapore, for two significant back-to-back events: Cyber Security World Asia (part of Singapore Tech Week) from October 9–10 and GovWare 2024 from October 15–17.

Both prominent cybersecurity events were held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre and featured leading voices in digital security, policymakers, and professionals across industries. With a combined attendance of over 30,000 people, these events are known for driving innovation and collaboration in cybersecurity.

At both events, SquareX was proud to showcase our industry-first Browser Detection and Response (BDR) solution, which has evolved significantly since our last appearance at GovWare 2023. We engaged with attendees, answered questions about the various use cases across industries, and demonstrated how our browser-native security solution protects employees from modern client-side threats — in a way no other solution has done before.

In addition to thought-provoking discussions, we also distributed exclusive SquareX merchandise to booth visitors, including limited-edition T-shirts, stickers, and copies of Hackers: Superheroes of the Digital Age.

Our Experience at Cyber Security World Asia & GovWare 2024

The SquareX booth was buzzing with activity throughout both events. Visitors were eager to learn more about the practical applications of our industry-first BDR solution, especially as the browser becomes an increasingly large attack surface across sectors. We received insightful questions about how SquareX can be tailored to different organizational needs, from protecting employees from malicious websites, to preventing data leakage and enabling secure browsing for distributed workforces.

Our swag was also a hit, with many attendees complimenting the robot-themed artwork and creative designs we had on display. The interaction with cybersecurity professionals, thought leaders, and industry friends made these two weeks even more fulfilling.

Another highlight was how our Chief Architect Jeswin Mathai, also delivered an insightful talk titled “The Silver Bullet in Your Enterprise Defense Strategy: Browser Security Solutions” at Cyber Security World Asia 2024. Attended by different professionals, students, and security researchers, the session explored how SMEs and non-profits can benefit from a browser security solution, as opposed to relying solely on traditional measures like Secure Web Gateways.

Jeswin highlighted the unique advantages of adopting browser-native security, emphasizing how it addresses the gaps in current security infrastructure, especially for resource-constrained organizations. The audience’s engagement demonstrated a growing interest in practical, cutting-edge solutions that go beyond legacy systems.

We were also thrilled to have press coverage, including live interviews with from our Product Evangelist Dakshitaa Babu, by Cyber Security World Asia, and Martin from AOPG (Asia Online Publishing Group) interviewing our Chief Architect Jeswin. Stay tuned for the full episodes!

Reflections on Two Weeks of Success

Exhibiting at two major events in consecutive weeks was intense, but the energy and interest from attendees made it all worthwhile. The growing awareness and understanding of browser-native security — and the role SquareX plays as a pioneer in this space — was evident from the feedback we received.

For us, these events were not just an opportunity to showcase our solutions but also a chance to learn more about our customers’ needs. Engaging directly with the community gave us valuable insights to refine our approach and further align our messaging.

We wrapped up both conferences with a deep sense of fulfillment, knowing we had spread the word, sparked meaningful conversations and strengthened our ties to the Singaporean cybersecurity community.

We hope everyone who visited our booth at Cyber Security World Asia and GovWare 2024 enjoyed the experience as much as we did.
