Security Comparison of Browsers: An Independent Report

How secure is your browser?

With browsers becoming the preferred attack vector of hackers, browser security plays a critical role today. The number of browser security vulnerabilities may exceed the number of OS vulnerabilities. Recently some browser vendors sponsored studies on similar topics and not surprisingly the sponsoring vendor came out on top. At iViZ we decided to do an independent study of popular browser to analyze:

• Vulnerability Trends in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Apple Safari
• Types of Security Risks vs. Browsers
• Security Weaknesses vs. Browsers
• Exploits Availability vs. Browsers
• How browser architecture affects security

Return on Investment with iViZ On Demand Penetration Testing
