Overview The Internet has quickly become an indispensable tool for corporate users. But over the past few years, a constant stream of vulnerabilities with browsers has kept companies in a state of continuous risk from this crucial resource. The lack of any comprehensive solution only exacerbates issues related to securing the corporate environment. To help provide perspective on this important issue, this paper categorizes the risks, the threats to the environment, and the available solutions. The paper focuses on two browsers for comparison. Internet Explorer (IE) was chosen for its ubiquity. Mozilla was chosen because it has cross-platform support and much of its code base is shared with several other browsers such as Netscape.
