MENLO SECURITY
One-of-a-Kind Isolation-Powered Cloud Security Platform to Improve Security

Ransomware continues to torment cybersecurity professionals across the globe. According to the 2022 CyberEdge Cyberthreat Defense Report, more than 70 percent of firms were targeted by ransomware attacks in 2021, up from 55 percent in 2018. At a time when the world is still dealing with the global pandemic, increasingly volatile geopolitical tensions, and other disruptions ranging from supply chain crisis to rising inflation, these attacks have shut down businesses, disrupted public infrastructure, and cost organizations billions of dollars in ransom payments.

For far too long, security organizations have placated customers with detect-and-remediate solutions that are no match for today’s smartest malware. Attackers know that ransomware is incredibly easy to execute and scale, and new digital payment methods such as cryptocurrencies make it easy to hide identities and bury a paper trail — all of which has put security departments on alert. As a group of unrelenting cybersecurity experts, one company Menlo Security pioneered an entirely reimagined, impervious approach to security.

The company is built on zero trust principles and that leverages isolation as a core architectural pillar. It’s the only way to truly eliminate malware, secure work, and protect productivity. As migration to the cloud quickens and application workloads move to SaaS, security is being re-architected to meet a new set of challenges. Menlo Security is at the forefront of this shift—empowering organizations to adapt and map their journey to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and beyond.

Fueling its unique approach to security, Menlo Security’s Elastic Isolation Core protects against known and unknown threats, and isolates them before they get to users. Zero Trust isolation provides 100 percent protection without the need for special software or plug-ins, hence allowing users to experience zero impact on performance or interruption in workflow.

Further, cloud-native and high performance, the firm’s Elastic Edge is built to scale globally on demand. It dynamically scales to meet enterprise-level growth from 1000 users to over 3M with no performance hit, and is easily extendible with a rich set of APIs and integrations.

Traditional network security wasn’t built to address today’s complex enterprise environments. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) fixes that problem. The SASE framework tightly integrates software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) capabilities with network security functions such as secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB), zero trust network access (ZTNA), and remote browser isolation (RBI) tools. SASE aims to enable secure connectivity for any user, from any device, with a consistent experience while enforcing security policies on access.

Additionally, Menlo’s Isolation Core enables IT and IS administrators to fully protect their users from threats at scale through the world’s first and only high-scale isolation core solution for network security in the cloud. In an instance, First Community Bank adopted isolation to eliminate web threats. First Community is a locally owned and operated financial institution where web-based threats were growing in volume and sophistication. A detect-and-respond approach failed to stop unknown threats. The bank was introduced to Menlo Security solutions and after an initial demonstration; Menlo Security provided the isolation solution.

The Menlo Security Cloud Platform isolated all web traffic in the cloud, cutting off malware’s access to the endpoint. The firm preserves a native-browsing experience for users, reducing IT overhead through fewer false positives, help-desk requests, and greater control. First Community Bank now uses the Menlo Security Cloud Platform with an Isolation Core to keep malware from reaching its end-user population. Building upon such collaborations, Menlo Security has established itself as a security practitioner in the industry with rich expertise and client-centric approach. It continually strives to protect organizations against Internet risk as a top priority for the customers it serves, which include some of the most demanding enterprises and governments worldwide.
