Browsers are the application enterprises can’t live without, how we work with SaaS and private web applications. But browsers are a security blind spot. They operate without the necessary protection and security controls, exposing enterprises to attack. Browsers are the entry point for internet borne attacks, the exit point for data leakage. Menlo Security secures enterprise browsers. Menlo Browser Security manages browsers, protects your users, and secures application access and enterprise data, providing a complete enterprise browser solution from any browser. Menlo Security secures browsers while preserving user choice and providing a familiar, easy-to-use experience. You can deploy browser security policies in a single click, secure SaaS and private application access, and protect enterprise data down to the last mile. Secure your digital transformation with trusted and proven cyber defenses, on any browser. Work without worry and move business forward with Menlo Security.

Founded in 2006, OpenDNS, now part of Cisco, has evolved from a provider of fast, reliable DNS services used by more than 65 million active users every day into a leading network security innovator. In 2012, we launched our first enterprise security product, Umbrella. Today, Cisco Umbrella is a cloud security platform that provides the first line of defense against threats on the internet wherever users go. By learning from internet activity patterns, Umbrella automatically uncovers current and emerging threats. And because it’s built into the foundation of the internet and delivered from the cloud, Umbrella is the simplest security product to deploy and delivers powerful, effective protection.
