Menlo Security HEAT Shield And HEAT Visibility
Menlo Security unveiled new capabilities for preventing threats that are especially evasive to security controls with the debut of its HEAT Shield and HEAT Visibility products. The new products aim to thwart highly evasive, browser-based threats with the help of AI/ML advancements, Poornima DeBolle, co-founder and chief product officer at Menlo Security, told CRN.
HEAT Shield is focused on detecting and blocking phishing threats prior to their infiltration into a corporate network, according to the company. The product offers high efficacy and massively reduced false positives in part through using computer vision to spot fake brand logos on websites, which is a likely indicator that the sites are being used for phishing, Menlo Security said. The company is the “first in the industry” to use computer vision capabilities in this way, ultimately protecting organizations against “zero hour phishing” threats, DeBolle said. The product can detect threats even when “nobody in world knows this is a phishing link,” she said.
Meanwhile, the new HEAT Visibility product works in parallel by continually analyzing web traffic and applying classifiers—powered by AI/ML—that can detect instances of a highly evasive attack, according to Menlo Security.
