Malware plays a significant role in many of today’s high-profile cyber attacks and data breaches. Hundreds of millions of malware variants exist, and number is growing consistently year-over-year. Web and email remain the two leading vectors for malware, and the threat is now so prevalent that IT organizations and individuals fear clicking on any link.
The cloud-based Menlo Security Isolation Platform (MSIP) eliminates the possibility of malware reaching user devices via compromised or malicious web sites, e-mail, or documents. This is not detection or classification, rather the user’s web session, and all active content (e.g. Flash), whether good or bad, is fully executed and contained in the Menlo Security Isolation Platform. Only safe, malware-free rendering information is delivered to the user’s endpoint with a completely native user experience. All active content—including any potential malware—is contained with the cloud-based platform.
In the Menlo Security isolation model, malware has no path to reach an endpoint and legitimate content needn’t be blocked in the interest of security. With a native user experience, administrators can open up more of the Internet to their users while simultaneously eliminating the risk of attacks. Menlo Security’s solution requires no endpoint software or management, yet eliminates the threat of attacks or breach from any device and any browser.
