Menlo Security raises $25M in Series B


What does Menlo Security do?

Menlo Security, is a stealth cyber security startup, which eliminates the threat of advanced malware by introducing a new security model. It is trusted by some of the largest enterprises in the world. This company is selectively engaging in private trials. The company believes in the concept that everyone must enjoy the benefits of the internet without fearing risk or compromise. It is with this idea that Menlo Security was founded, for elimination the threat of malware from the web.

Making the web safe needs a new approach. The existing methods of preventing attacks, are all based on distinguishing the good content from the bad and are not working and all of them are being maneuvered out by the attackers. This is an arms race which cannot be won. Thus, Menlo Security has taken another approach. Its Isolation Platform provides a new layer in the security stack which contains and eliminates any malware, every time and provides a completely native experience to the users. This does not need any software on the user’s device, so it is very easy to deploy and can be managed simply across any size enterprise.
