The easiest way to compromise a corporate network is through a user running a browser application. Additionally, phishing and other social engineering exploits make users susceptible to vulnerabilities from software that has not been patched or updated to the most current version. A larger, underlying problem occurs at the software development stage, where serious browser-based security vulnerabilities can be caused by poor coding of applications. The bottom line: While browser vendors tout one benefit or another in their product, all modern browsers – that are fully updated and patched – basically have similar levels of built-in security.
