Menlo Security Acquires Votiro to Deliver Easy, AI-driven Data Security to Enterprises
Read Blog
82 percent of organizations have a BYOD program. The benefits for users and IT are clear. Unfortunately, so are the security implications. Unmanaged devices that connect to corporate assets can pose a major risk to organizations. If attackers successfully gain access to a BYOD laptop, for example, they can use the device to spread laterally across the network and applications. Attackers can then steal sensitive data or lay in wait, ready to deliver their payload when the time is right. The same thing can happen with partner or contractor devices.
BYOD and the Browser: The Risks
The push to digital transformation has led many critical business applications—email, collaboration tools, CRM, real-time inventory, logistics, and more—into the cloud. Many are now accessible by the browser, as well. This increases productivity, but, because browsing traffic is largely invisible to security and IT teams, it also makes visibility almost impossible. Coupled with the fact that you have no way to know users' browsing habits, whether others are using the device, or the security state of unmanaged devices such as BYOD, there are major risks to be overcome.
With Menlo Secure Application, you can deliver differentiated access by user or group, with no need to touch the endpoint, change DNS records, import certificates, or install an agent.
Browsing Forensics delivers visibility into browsing sessions, allowing you to visualize user access for security, IT, audit, and compliance teams.
BYOD and other unmanaged devices don't have to increase risk. Menlo Secure Application Access can protect your applications and data, without impacting performance.
It is possible for BYOD to be both a useful access method and a secure one. It begins with the browser, and it ends with complete visibility of user actions, including uploads and downloads, and inputs (keystrokes). The first and most important step is separating network access from application access. After all, there is no need to open the front door to your network, since the apps and data are, for the most part, no longer there. And because most apps today are browser based, there’s no need for client installations.
A key step to neutralizing threats posed by unknown devices is to separate them from your apps, with the Menlo Secure Cloud Browser. The Secure Cloud Browser dynamically creates a hardened digital twin of the local browser, providing separation between device and application as well as between enterprise apps and the internet.
All traffic is executed in the cloud, so your apps aren’t affected by anything that might be lurking on the device, and vice versa, because there is no direct access to the application whatsoever. So, even if a user clicks on a malicious link, downloads an infected file, or tries to access a suspicious application, the malware never has a chance to interact directly with your applications or your data.
Another way digital transformation has affected remote workers is the fact that most enterprise applications have become browser based, rather than requiring a client.
With Menlo Secure Application Access, it’s easy to enable custom-tailored application access to any user with any browser. Menlo requires no change to DNS records, no need to import certificates, and no agent. You can easily create user and group-specific controls from the Menlo dashboard, giving each user type the precise access levels you decide they need.
Browsing Forensics completes the Menlo solution, delivering visibility as never before into browsing sessions on any endpoint. Enterprises can select the content that should be captured in the session, including screen grabs, user keystrokes, and the page resources themselves. These captures are immediately ported to the customer’s choice of cloud storage; Menlo does not retain the packages or even view them.
