Menlo vs. Island:
Stop Expanding Your Attack Surface.

Replacement Browsers execute web code on your endpoints, creating new zero-day vulnerabilities. Menlo's **Cloud Isolation** eliminates the browser attack surface entirely—instantaneously and without adding operational burden.

The Core Dilemma: Where Does Code Execute?

The most critical difference in browser security is where untrusted web code runs. This single choice determines your risk of zero-day exploits, your patching burden, and your operational complexity. Click to explore the two approaches.

The Competitive Comparison Matrix

Both platforms are credible. They answer different architectural questions. Menlo executes all web content and file processing in a hardened cloud digital twin, so the endpoint receives only safe rendering information. Island is a Chromium-based enterprise browser: policies come from its Management Cloud, but web code executes and corporate data resides locally on the device. This matrix maps where each design carries risk and where it removes it.

File Security: CDR on Downloads and Uploads

How files moving in and out of the browser are handled.

Sanitized, not just scanned

Bi-directional Content Disarm and Reconstruction rebuilds safe files across 220+ file types, including archives and macros. Originals never touch the endpoint.

Detect, then allow

Allow or block based on hash, static analysis, and malware scanning. No CDR sanitization on downloads or uploads, so an allowed file lands natively on the endpoint.
