In today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity and networking landscape, organizations are increasingly adopting advanced technologies to tackle the challenges of securing their digital assets and optimizing network performance.

Organizations face significant risks from phishing and malware attacks that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt operations. These threats are prevalent across various browsers and devices, making it challenging to secure a hybrid enterprise environment effectively. As an example, an attacker could send a phishing email with a link to a fake login page. The page contains malicious JavaScript that captures user credentials when they are entered. Menlo Security uses a technique called browser isolation. Instead of allowing the user’s browser to directly interact with web content, Menlo Security executes all web content in a remote, isolated environment. This means that any malicious JavaScript code runs in the isolated environment and cannot interact with the user’s device thus preventing data theft and providing a seamless user experience.
