Menlo Security introduced major upgrades to its Secure Enterprise Browser, equipping security teams with enhanced visibility and control to combat emerging AI-driven browser threats. Unveiled at RSA, the updates feature a dedicated dashboard for managing Secure Application Access and an advanced workflow for Browsing Forensics, offering detailed timelines of user activity within browser sessions to accelerate incident response and reinforce zero-trust security.
Last month, Menlo Security released its State of Browser Security Report, which highlights critical trends: a dramatic 140% increase in browser-based phishing attacks in 2024 compared to the previous year, a 130% rise in zero-hour phishing attempts, and nearly 600 incidents of GenAI fraud. The report identifies several key drivers behind the spike, including AI-powered attacks, phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) and the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities. In other impersonation tactics, Microsoft, Facebook and Netflix were the most frequently impersonated brands. The findings of this report underscore the urgent need for a security approach that provides deep visibility and granular control within the browser, arming security professionals with the tools they need to keep their users safe.
“The threat landscape is evolving with the advent of AI, and readily-available phishing kits and services that allow even novice threat actors to carry out sophisticated, highly-effective attacks at scale,” said Poornima DeBolle, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Menlo Security. “In modern work environments, the browser is pivotal to user access and productivity, and has emerged as a key channel for threat actors to launch attacks. Traditional security controls simply are not enough to combat modern threats in the modern workspace. Effective security operations require security professionals to understand the full context of browser-based threats in their environment.”
Menlo Security’s latest enhancements deliver a comprehensive approach to secure enterprise browsing, and provide vital insights for security teams.
Enterprise Application Access Visibility and Value Report: With hybrid work, users are accessing applications from everywhere. Menlo Security has introduced a dedicated dashboard within its management interface specifically for Secure Application Access (SAA). The new dashboard offers enterprises visibility into application usage trends, user activity like upload and downloads, and last-mile data loss prevention (DLP) policy violations. Dashboards and drill-down data arms administrators with crucial intelligence needed to maintain a strong zero-trust security posture through continuous monitoring and validation of application access. SAA enables secure access to business-critical applications from any browser, without compromising security or requiring endpoint modifications.
Complete Browser Session Visibility for Faster Incident Response: Menlo Security has introduced a new, advanced workflow process for its unique Browsing Forensics offering. The new Flow Timeline provides security analysts with a single, correlated timeline of all user actions within a browser session. Unlike traditional logs that offer only fragmented data or lack any visibility into web browsing, the Browsing Forensics Flow Timeline stitches together events using session IDs, allowing for a complete historical view of browsing activities including page loads, downloads, DLP events and more. This comprehensive visibility gives incident response and SOC teams the full context of the chain of events, including activity before and after a “captured session,” enabling faster incident response, identification of the root cause of attacks, and a deeper understanding of user intent and potential data exposure.
Menlo Security is showcasing these new product features, including expanded data and file protection capabilities resulting from its recent acquisition of Votiro, alongside findings from its recent State of Browser Security Report at RSA Conference currently taking place in San Francisco. Attendees are invited to visit Menlo Security’s booth, #2436, for live demonstrations and to learn more about how Menlo Security is revolutionizing browser security.
