Menlo Security, Inc. (\u201cMenlo Security\u201d)<\/a>, a leader in browser security, today announced HEAT Shield\u2122 and HEAT Visibility\u2122, the industry\u2019s first suite of threat prevention capabilities designed to detect and block highly evasive threats targeting users via the web browser.<\/p>\n

Menlo Security HEAT Shield\u2122 detects and blocks phishing attacks before they can infiltrate the enterprise network. It uses novel, AI-based techniques \u2013 including computer vision combined with URL risk scoring and analysis of the web page elements \u2013 to accurately determine in real time if the link being accessed is a phishing site designed to steal the user\u2019s credentials. In parallel, HEAT Visibility performs continual analysis of web traffic and applies AI\/ML-powered classifiers that identify the presence of highly evasive attacks. This delivers timely, actionable alerts that enable security teams to significantly reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) to any highly evasive threats that could be targeting enterprise users.<\/p>\n

\u201cHighly evasive threats are growing as threat actors evolve how they deploy phishing and malware attacks,\u201d said Michael Urciuoli, Chief Information Officer of JPMorgan Chase Asset and Wealth Management. \u201cTools like Menlo Security\u2019s browser security solution, including their HEAT Shield, can help to combat cyber threat vectors for the world\u2019s top financial institutions, governments and leading enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Menlo Security HEAT Shield and HEAT Visibility are built on Menlo Security\u2019s cloud-based Isolation Core\u2122 which monitors and analyzes over 400 billion web sessions annually. Commonly deployed security infrastructure such as Secure Web Gateways, firewalls, endpoint security and EDR solutions are blind to actions occurring inside the browser and fall short in combating web-based attacks including highly evasive threats. HEAT Shield leverages the Isolation Core to power dynamic security policies which can be applied to users based on web session events and behavior to prevent attackers from gaining access to the endpoint. Individuals are protected from potential threats without any impact on the end user experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we need to protect our network from emerging attacks and threats targeting the web browser,\u201d said Greg Pastor, Director of Information Security for Remedi SeniorCare. \u201cWe are seeing highly evasive threats as a concerning and growing tactic amongst threat actors, and solutions like HEAT Shield can dynamically block these attacks, even if they are zero hour, keeping our endpoints safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

A HEAT Attack\u2122 Dashboard allows customers to receive detailed threat intelligence, which can be integrated into their existing SIEM or SOC platforms, while HEAT alerts sent to SOC teams provide real time threat visibility to enrich their existing threat intelligence sources and enhance and accelerate incident response capabilities.<\/p>\n

Nick Edwards, Vice President, Product Management at Menlo Security, said, \u201cAdversaries have placed a massive bullseye on the web browser. It has become the new desktop, where we spend the bulk of our working day. Legacy security vendors are fighting yesterday\u2019s war by trying to shoehorn network security and endpoint tools to keep users safe and it isn\u2019t working. The capabilities we are introducing today mark a significant leap forward towards our mission of creating a secure, seamless browsing experience, ensuring the internet can be used safely by our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Menlo Security isolates more than four billion files annually for many of the largest and most security-conscious organizations around the world. Threat actors are refining their techniques daily, developing novel and innovative ways to target their victims through the web browser, often testing their attacks against commonly deployed security tools before launching them in the wild. \u201cArmed with this knowledge and a decade of developing industry-leading browser security products, we are proud to be able to deliver the industry\u2019s first suite of threat prevention capabilities designed to detect and block HEAT attacks,\u201d continued Edwards.<\/p>\n

Both HEAT Shield and HEAT Visibility are generally available now across Menlo Security\u2019s global network.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmiViz helps organisations make smarter decisions and minimise their risk, and we see growing concern about highly evasive, browser-based threats,\u201d said Ilyas Mohammed, Chief Operating Officer of AmiViz. \u201cThis is why we are very pleased to help bring Menlo Security\u2019s HEAT Shield product to market, as it will help our customers manage their risk in a preventative way that keeps browser-based threats out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
