IGEL, Menlo Security announce partnership for Zero Trust browser access

By Atlas Watchline Staff · Corporate · August 12, 2026

IGEL and Menlo Security said on Aug. 12, 2026, that they are teaming up to combine endpoint and browser security for enterprise access.

IGEL and Menlo Security said Tuesday that they have formed a partnership to connect endpoint security with browser-based application access for enterprise users.

The companies said the joint solution combines IGEL’s Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform with Menlo Secure Application Access, or SAA, to provide secure access from the endpoint to enterprise applications. They said the approach is designed to support Zero Trust-aligned access across web and SaaS workflows and reduce dependence on virtual desktop infrastructure, or VDI, for browser-first work.

In the release, the companies said many endpoint security models still treat device posture and browser access as separate control points. They said the partnership is intended to create a coordinated trust model that begins with the endpoint and extends into browser-based application access.

The release also said the setup is designed to reduce endpoint agent sprawl, a reference to the practice of installing multiple security agents on the same device. IGEL and Menlo said their approach would give security teams one path from device to application without stacking agents or using VDI for each use case.

Jim Airdo, senior vice president of strategic alliances at IGEL, said browser-first work is the future of enterprise computing. He said IGEL is the secure OS foundation for modern application access and that the combined solution unifies endpoint and browser security into a single Zero Trust architecture.

Aayush Agarwal, director of product management at Menlo Security, said the companies give security teams one coordinated path from the device to the application. He said the partnership helps extend Zero Trust without adding endpoint agents or using VDI.

The release included background information about both companies. IGEL said it was founded in 2001, is headquartered in Germany, and has U.S. offices in San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale. It said it works with an ecosystem of 130 technology brands and supports access to cloud, VDI, DaaS, SaaS, secure browsers, enterprise applications and OT endpoints.

Menlo Security said it is headquartered in Mountain View, California, protects more than 8 million users and millions of simultaneous AI agent sessions, and is trusted by more than 1,000 global enterprises, including eight of the ten largest financial institutions and major government agencies.

The companies did not announce pricing, customer availability or a rollout timeline in the release. The partnership was announced in a PR Newswire release dated Aug. 12, 2026.
