Menlo Security has released a suite of threat prevention capabilities designed to detect and block highly evasive threats targeting users via the web browser.

HEAT Shield is designed to detect and blocks phishing attacks before they can infiltrate the enterprise network, using AI techniques – including computer vision combined with URL risk scoring and analysis of the web page elements – to accurately determine in real time if the link being accessed is a phishing site designed to steal the user's credentials.

HEAT Visibility performs continual analysis of web traffic and applies AI/ML-powered classifiers that identify the presence of highly evasive attacks. Alerts then enable security teams to significantly reduce mean time to detect and mean time to respond to any highly evasive threats that could be targeting enterprise users.

“Highly evasive threats are growing as threat actors evolve how they deploy phishing and malware attacks," said Michael Urciuoli, chief information officer of JP Morgan Chase Asset and Wealth Management. "Tools like Menlo Security’s browser security solution, including their HEAT Shield, can help to combat cyber threat vectors for the world's top financial institutions, governments and leading enterprises."

Nick Edwards, vice-president, product management at Menlo Security, added: “Adversaries have placed a massive bullseye on the web browser. It has become the new desktop, where we spend the bulk of our working day. Legacy security vendors are fighting yesterday’s war by trying to shoehorn network security and endpoint tools to keep users safe and it isn’t working. The capabilities we are introducing today mark a significant leap forward towards our mission of creating a secure, seamless browsing experience, ensuring the internet can be used safely by our customers."
