On September 10, 2025, Menlo Security, a leader in Secure Enterprise Browsers, announced an expanded integration with Google Cloud, leveraging the Vertex AI platform and Gemini models. This collaboration enhances Menlo’s HEAT Shield AI, which now achieves over 99.5% accuracy in detecting zero-hour phishing, social engineering, and brand impersonation attacks. The partnership addresses the evolving threat landscape, where traditional signature-based tools fail to counter sophisticated browser-based attacks.
“Social engineering and brand impersonation attacks are becoming increasingly convincing and difficult to detect with traditional security measures,” said Ramin Farassat, Chief Product Officer at Menlo Security. By integrating Google’s Gemini models, HEAT Shield AI provides real-time, in-browser threat detection, neutralizing threats like fake CAPTCHA pages and fraudulent tech support scams. “By collaborating with Google Cloud, Menlo is able to identify and block over 99.5% of these novel threats as they happen,” Farassat added, ensuring robust protection for enterprise users.
Menlo Security also introduced Menlo Sidekick, an AI-powered agent leveraging Gemini models to streamline security analytics. “Menlo Sidekick is a game-changer,” Farassat noted. “It will empower Menlo users to easily explore the rich data within the Menlo Security platform, accelerate investigations and help identify risky behavior without having to be an MQL expert.” By enabling natural language queries and language translation, Sidekick reduces the complexity of analyzing billions of event logs, enhancing efficiency for Security Operations teams.
“As businesses integrate AI into their core operations, they face a new set of security challenges,” said Vineet Bhan, Director of Security and Identity Partnerships at Google Cloud. “Our partnership with Menlo Security is important to addressing this, giving customers the advanced tools needed to protect their data.” The integration with Google’s Vertex AI platform ensures scalability and precision, protecting over 8 million users, including Fortune 500 companies and major financial institutions, from advanced browser-based threats.
This collaboration underscores Menlo Security’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge AI to safeguard enterprises, with immediate availability of these enhanced capabilities through the Menlo platform.
