Mobile devices and browsers are an enticing target for cyber attackers looking to exploit zero days and conduct socially engineered phishing attacks, yet in many organizations, mobile security is treated like a second-class citizen. Today we announced an industry first by extending our cloud based SWG to include web isolation for mobile devices. This new offering is designed to eliminate the threat of malware and phishing attacks when users are accessing the internet and email from their smartphones and tablets.

About three weeks into lockdown in the UK, I was out for my evening walk reflecting on how different the world had become in a very short space of time. Having spent the majority of my career as a home-based employee, being forced to work remotely didn’t change how I work or indeed my daily routine, however I tried to put myself into the shoes of those who are normally office-based and think about how their world has changed, and how they would be coping without all the tools, equipment and routines they are used to and expect.

In our last two posts, we talked about the unexpected acceleration of remote work resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic and how VPNs are incapable of providing reliable, secure Internet access to all of these new remote employees. It’s clear that a new network architecture is needed, but it is too much to expect organizations to completely rip out and replace their network architecture all at once. A measured, step-by-step approach is more practical.

As part of our continued global expansion, I spent a week down-under visiting customers and partners hopping between Sydney and Melbourne. As soon as I got to the hotel, I stepped out for a fantastic run (of course!) along the Sydney-Harbor bridge and Opera House, followed by climbing several flights of stairs to kill the jet lag. Joy of being an ultra runner! Anyways, It was fantastic to meet customers to talk to them about the benefits of Menlo Security Isolation Platform. The story is much like everywhere else. People are tired of layers and layers of security products that ultimately act like a sieve letting malware through. Spear-phishing and Ransomware are major current threats that enterprises just can't stop.
