Menlo Security Acquires Votiro to Deliver Easy, AI-driven Data Security to Enterprises
Read Blog
The next generation of remote browser isolation, secure cloud browsing, is delivered by a combination of technologies that Menlo has built over a decade to deliver security, protection, and performance. With the Menlo Secure Cloud Browser as a foundation, you can stop web-borne threats from getting to users' endpoints, even zero-hour phishing attempts that have never been seen before, and complex, evasive threats that use active content. And because all protection happens in real time, your users will never know the difference.
The principles of zero trust are familiar to most security and IT professionals—all access attempts should be assumed to be malicious and should not be implicitly trusted. While zero trust has long been the foundation of network, application, and data access, it is seldom applied to the browser. The explosion of browser-based threats, however, shows that to be a dangerous omission.

Over 400 Billion
Isolated Browsing Sessions Per Year
The intrinsic lack of visibility into browsing sessions, and the sheer volume of them, raise significant challenges for IT teams. But one of the elements unique to browsing sessions is that they feature active content, largely JavaScript. This active content executes in the user’s browser, which creates a rich experience, but it also provides the perfect place for attackers to gain control, get visibility, and learn browser vulnerabilities. Today’s endpoints have defenses against some exploits, but active content execution enables adversaries to build sophisticated multistage attacks.
As a web page is rendered in the Menlo Secure Cloud Browser, its inspection capabilities can surface malicious content or payloads, such as smuggled code or threats hidden in JavaScript, and prevent them from being passed to the endpoint.

The Menlo Secure Cloud Browser, the foundational element of Menlo offerings, was built on the zero trust principle that all browser sessions should be assumed to be malicious. Creating a solution in which all browser traffic is inspected in real time and in accordance with enterprise policy, without user disruption, is the key to Menlo’s success. The Menlo Secure Cloud Browser represents over a decade of experience in the trenches with real customers, handling over 400 billion sessions per year.
The AI-driven defenses built into the Secure Cloud Browser stop even sophisticated threats cold. When the user initiates a session, Menlo dynamically creates a hardened digital twin of their local tabs in the Secure Cloud Browser using proprietary Adaptive Clientless Rendering. Advanced URL runtime analysis of individual web page elements identifies and blocks threats. The same inspection is applied to attachments, even those that are password-protected or zipped, with the Menlo document and archive viewer.
The addition of Menlo Protect with HEAT Shield AI adds important capabilities that perform logo detection and brand element identification to stop even the most sophisticated impersonation attempts before they reach the user’s endpoint, which receives only safe content.
You can set and fine-tune policies and exceptions for specific users, groups, or content types to deliver each user a personalized, policy-driven browsing experience. You don’t need to touch the endpoint at all, while users still experience the browsing experience they are used to.
Isolating sessions is part of browser security, but it is far from the whole story. The Secure Cloud Browser protects users with a host of other features, including:
The Menlo Secure Cloud Browser is your fortress against the storm of cyberattacks, protecting local browsers from zero-hour phishing, infected files, and browser exploits, in a way that legacy approaches featuring “detect-and-block” on the host cannot match.
The difference is that active content—the favorite hiding place for these evasive threats—is executed in the Menlo Secure Cloud Browser, and not on the local endpoint. Inspection is done in real time, without reliance on previously discovered signatures alone. The combination of AI-based defenses, dynamic cloud content inspection, browser isolation, and safe file handling engines stops evasive threats cold.

Read Customer Case StudyThe Menlo Secure Cloud Browser combined with HEAT Shield AI, delivers AI-powered technology including computer vision, dynamic risk scoring, and analysis of web page elements to analyze browser sessions and dynamic web content. Together, these capabilities deliver real-time protection against highly evasive threats that bypass commonly deployed security tools and help identify misuse of trusted brand logos on web pages.
Wherever your team works, Menlo transforms any browser into a secure enterprise browser that protects users from browser-based threats and secures access to applications and enterprise data. With Menlo, all web traffic is protected against zero-day exploits and other evasive malware, regardless of the browsers your users choose.
Open and view any document safely in the Menlo Secure Document and Archive Viewer without the need to download files to the endpoint. These capabilities provide safe viewing of document and archive content, including nested and password-protected archives, without them ever touching the endpoint. IT teams can choose to grant users the ability to download the original file or only a clean version stripped of any active content.
Answers to the burning questions in your mind.

The Menlo Secure Cloud Browser addresses the problem of the web browser being a prime target for threat actors, as it is often the least protected attack surface in the enterprise despite significant cybersecurity spending. Traditional security tools lack visibility into browser traffic and behaviors, making them blind to evasive browser-based threats.
Menlo uses an AI-powered, on-click inspection system and computer vision technology to analyze web content in real-time. Web requests are executed within the Menlo Secure Cloud Browser, and only safe content is delivered to the user's local browser. This allows for the detection and blocking of phishing attempts, even with new URLs or impersonation techniques.
Menlo is simple to deploy and manage, supporting any browser on any device. There's no new endpoint software to manage, and enforcement actions are easily defined and monitored in the admin portal.
Traditional network access solutions (e.g., VPNs and VDI) are costly, complex, provide a poor user experience, and often lack adequate security and visibility.It offers a simpler and more secure way to provide zero trust access to enterprise applications and SaaS.
With Menlo, browser security policies can be deployed in a single click.
Menlo SAA shields applications and users from threats like cross-site scripting, cookie stealing, session hijacking, infected file uploads, and web-borne threats such as LURE attacks and HTML smuggling.
Menlo focuses on securing the browser, because that's where most enterprise work takes place
