This brief explores Menlo Secure Application Access, a modern, secure replacement for VDI. It addresses the security issues, as well as the costs of infrastructure maintenance and upgrades. Not only is VDI prone to laggy response depending upon the user proximity to the servers, but it was not designed to cope with the newest class of “users” - AI agents. The brief highlights Menlo's solution that provides granular, least-privileged application-level access with zero-trust security, bolstered by full data protection, defense against malware embedded in files, and complete visibility inside the user session. Menlo SAA features flexible deployment options, making it ideal for both browser-based and non-browser-based applications.
