Menlo Security Enters
Middle East IT Market
Help AG has announced that it has signed a reseller agreement
with Menlo Security to provide consulting, implementation and
support services for the vendor’s Menlo Security Isolation Platform
(MSIP) to businesses in the Middle East.
A
n overwhelming majority
of cyber-attacks, some 90
percent or more occur when
compromised/malicious websites
deliver malware to devices through
email, web links or other downloads.
“Web threats are getting more
sophisticated and effective in evading
detection, leaving businesses highly
vulnerable to malware which can
disrupt business and entail heavy
financial losses. Traditional security
technologies that are based on
detecting and blocking malicious
content are unable to offer sufficient
protection,” explained Stephan Berner,
CEO at Help AG. “We conducted a
thorough analysis of the solutions
available to businesses in the Middle
66
INTELLIGENTCIO
East and realised that what they
require simply wasn’t available. We
have therefore partnered to introduce
Menlo Security in the region and are
excited to present customers with this
innovative solution.”
Unlike current prevention systems that
attempt to distinguish “good” content
from “bad” content, MSIP takes a
unique approach by executing all Web
content in a public or private cloud.
Through this isolated execution, it
allows users to interact with websites,
links and online documents without
encountering malicious code. Only
malware-free rendering information
is sent to the native browser on the
user’s endpoint. Furthermore, as
MSIP requires no client software or
plug-ins, users can enjoy a seamless
and transparent experience with no
perceivable latency.
Help AG has undergone Menlo
Security’s set of comprehensive
technical, sales trainings and its
security experts have achieved
full certification by the vendor.
The reseller will deploy MSIP for
customers, either via the public or
private cloud, in conjunction with
existing Web Security gateways,
next generation firewalls, network
sandboxes or other security systems.
Through its locally-based Cyber
Security Support division, Help AG will
also provide 24x7 support services
