Menlo Secure Cloud Browser
The Menlo Secure Cloud Browser works with HEAT Shield and the Menlo Posture Manager to transform any browser into a secure enterprise browser. By fetching and processing web content within a cloud-native platform, it protects endpoints from internet-borne threats like phishing and evasive malware. AI-powered cloud content inspection, coupled with a wide range of protective features, enables administrators to enforce granular usage policies based on user, content, or website categories, ensuring a secure and risk-free browsing experience across the enterprise.
Menlo Security HEAT Shield
Menlo Security HEAT Shield detects and protects against highly evasive advanced malware threats and targeted zero-day phishing attacks. HEAT Shield puts AI-powered “eyes” on browser and dynamic web content, so users can focus on work, not threats. Working in tandem with Menlo Secure Cloud Browser, HEAT Shield provides an additional layer of security, enabling real-time threat detection and prevention. Through a combination of object detection, URL risk scoring, and correlated analysis of web page elements, HEAT Shield effectively identifies and neutralizes evasive threats, significantly reducing the exposure window compared to traditional security solutions. Menlo HEAT Shield can catch zero-day threats and brings modern protections to every single user, no matter where they work.

Menlo Security Remote Browser Isolation provides unmatched scalability for any size organization and fluctuating traffic loads for remote browsing sessions, applications, or digital documents. It doesn’t matter if you have 300 or 3 million users. Menlo scales across all users, entire organizations and all applications with zero impact to end user performance or the native browser experience.
