Menlo Security joins CrowdStrike’s CrowdXDR Alliance

Menlo Security, a pioneer in cloud security announced that it has joined CrowdStrike’s CrowdXDR Alliance, a unified and open Extended Detection and Response (XDR) coalition formed with security and IT operations leaders and best-of-breed solutions.

Malware protection

As a member of the CrowdXDR Alliance, Menlo Security’s solution will be integrated into CrowdStrike Falcon XDR to protect from malware being delivered by Highly Evasive Adaptive Threats (HEAT).

CrowdStrike Falcon XDR enables customers to integrate security solutions from different vendors for unified, threat-centric detection and response across an organisation’s entire security and technology ecosystem.

Cloud Security Platform

Menlo Cloud Security Platform enables organisations to provide a safe online experience and keep moving forward

Menlo Security enables organisations to outsmart threats and attacks to maximise productivity. The Menlo extensible Cloud Security Platform built on a patented Isolation Core™ is one of the only solutions to deliver on the promise of cloud security by providing the most secure zero-trust approach to preventing malicious attacks.

This is accomplished by making security invisible to end-users while they work online, and by alleviating the operational burden on security teams and help desks. The Menlo Cloud Security Platform enables organisations to provide a safe online experience while empowering users to keep business moving forward without worrying about security threats.

Safe online experience

“Users are spending the majority of their working day on the internet and on SaaS applications that are exposed to an onslaught of new modern-day threats. Cybercriminals and other threat actors are exploiting browser and internet vulnerabilities to deploy increasingly sophisticated malware, including Highly Evasive Adaptive Threats that fuel ransomware and other malicious threats,” said Poornima DeBolle, Menlo Security co-founder and Chief Product Officer.

“We need to stop malware and zero-day exploits from ever getting to the network and endpoints. Menlo Security is excited to join the CrowdXDR Alliance and our integration with CrowdStrike Falcon XDR will enable organisations to offer a safe online experience, without having to sacrifice productivity for security.”

Survey findings

Menlo Security found that almost two-thirds of organisations were compromised by browser-based attacks

In a recent survey, Menlo Security found that almost two-thirds of organisations were compromised by browser-based attacks in the last 12 months.

The report suggests that organisations are not being proactive enough in mitigating the risk of these threats, with 45 percent failing to add strength to their network security stack over the past year. As a member of CrowdStrike’s CrowdXDR Alliance, CrowdStrike and Menlo Security will provide customers with a way to mitigate such attacks.

End-to-end visibility

“CrowdStrike pioneered the CrowdXDR Alliance to bring elite partners together to stop breaches,” said Geoff Swaine, vice president, of global programs at CrowdStrike.

“We are thrilled to welcome Menlo Security as a strategic partner into the CrowdXDR Alliance and look forward to working closely to provide end-to-end visibility and protection for our customers.”
