Menlo Security Named a Leader & Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar for ZTNA
Learn Why
Threats are hidden within everyday files, making them incredibly hard to spot—no matter how much enterprise training you may do. Each time an employee downloads a file from the internet, they open the entire business up to cyber attacks that can lock down systems, compromise private data, and lead to millions of dollars in ransomware. The same goes for any third-parties using your network, including vendors and trusted partners.
What enterprises need is a zero trust file security solution that takes a proactive approach. One that stops file-borne malware from crossing digital boundaries and entering sensitive ecosystems without manual intervention.
We call this Menlo File Security—a defense-in-depth solution that combines next-gen Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR), sandboxing, antivirus, and hash check under one roof to ensure that browser downloads are never second-guessed and productivity goes on without a hitch.
Our guide to CDR takes a deep dive into the types of file sanitization on the market, why it's important for true security, and how Menlo goes above and beyond to keep files safe.
In the era of GenAI and remote access, today’s threat prevention tools aren’t enough to stop zero-day malware. Next-gen antivirus can’t keep up with malicious threats and never-before-seen exploits, while sandboxes implemented alone are unable to prevent common intrusion tactics. Meanwhile, reactive tools like EDR and DLP are great at alerting to a breach, but do little to prevent it from happening in the first place. Even then, security teams are left scrambling and running damage control.
Built, trained, and honed by experts with deep understanding in file composition and weaponization, we’ve developed a zero trust approach to secure files downloaded via the browser. Our patented, Positive Selection® technology is an advanced form of Content Disarm and Reconstruction that doesn’t just block threats and flatten files, but actively eliminates known and unknown malware from being downloaded in the first place, all while maintaining full file functionality. It's the best of both worlds—safety and productivity.

Answers to the burning questions in your mind.
Unlike detection-based solutions like standalone AV, EDR, and DLPs that scan for suspicious elements and block and/or flatten some malicious files and miss others, Menlo’s technology automatically rebuilds every single file to deliver 100% safe content without the need to detect malicious elements—no blocking, just proactive prevention.
Email: Completely secure every email attachment and suspicious URL.
Web Applications: Sanitize uploaded files via web portal.
Web Browser: In just milliseconds, user downloads are disarmed and rebuilt.
Collaboration Tools: User-to-user file sharing is made secure in real-time.
Content Disarm and Reconstruction happens in real-time, in just milliseconds, leaving the experience completely transparent to end-users. This includes an initial AV scan and hash checking that is near-instantaneous within the CDR process. For sandboxing, the process is as short or as long as the security team deems necessary.
No. Menlo File Security is agentless and integrated via open API depending on the use case. In cases where organizations require on-prem installation, Menlo can accommodate.
As an established browser-agnostic security solution, Menlo natively protects customers from malicious web downloads that move beyond the browser.
Absolutely. Our in-depth threat analytics provide teams with the following:
File type and origin – whether the threat came from an email attachment, browser download, API, or cloud collaboration tool.
Type of malicious content removed – including macros, scripts, exploits, and ransomware payloads.
Hashes, file names, and behavioral indicators – identifiers that trace how similar threats evolve or spread.
Recurring campaigns and targeted users – highlighting which departments, users, or workflows are being probed most frequently.
Menlo can sanitize and rebuild over 220 different file types. This includes complex ones like ZIP, archives, and password-protected files.

Jerusalem's ALYN Hospital , a pediatric rehabilitation center, was targeted by a sophisticated phishing email containing a weaponized Word document. The attack used malicious macros and evasion techniques to bypass traditional detection. By using Positive Selection technology , the malicious macro was automatically stripped from the file before the employee opened it, instantly neutralizing the threat. This provided 100% protection and gave the hospital the flexibility to safely download files, a capability their previous vendor, which blocked 70% of desired files, could not offer.
