Secure BYOD and Unmanaged Devices


Empower your workforce without compromising security.


Today’s workforce demands flexibility—working from various locations, on multiple devices, often their own. While this approach increases productivity and convenience, it also introduces security risks, especially when dealing with sensitive corporate resources. SquareX makes it easy to securely manage Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and unmanaged devices, offering a solution that balances user freedom with the highest level of security.

Browser Trust

SquareX establishes the necessary browser trust before granting access to applications. This ensures only authorized and verified devices can connect to enterprise resources. By working with existing identity providers, SquareX enables smooth authentication processes for all users, without requiring additional steps or disrupting the user experience.

Why SquareX is Ideal for BYOD and Unmanaged Devices

IP and Location-Based Controls

SquareX allows enterprises to enforce IP and location-based restrictions, granting or denying access based on geographic location or network environment. This provides an extra layer of security by controlling access based on trusted parameters.

Granular Policy Control for Least-Privilege Access

With SquareX, admins can ensure that users can only access the resources they need to perform their tasks. By enforcing granular, least-privilege access, enterprises can reduce the risk of overexposure to sensitive data. Employees or contractors using personal devices are limited to the exact applications and data necessary, keeping your organization’s most critical assets secure.

Control Without Heavy-Handed Monitoring

SquareX enables BYOD without the usual trade-offs of having to install monitoring agents or using VPN. SquareX operates entirely through a lightweight browser extension, ensuring all security measures are built into the browser environment, eliminating the need to intrude on personal devices while still maintaining full protection over corporate resources.
