IGEL and Menlo Security announce Zero Trust browser access partnership

By Atlas Watchline Staff · Corporate · August 13, 2026

IGEL and Menlo Security said they are teaming up to combine endpoint and browser security for Zero Trust access to enterprise apps.

IGEL and Menlo Security said on Aug. 13 that they are partnering to combine endpoint and browser security for Zero Trust access to enterprise applications.

The companies said the arrangement is aimed at browser-based and SaaS workflows, where they see a gap between device security and browser access. The release says the combined approach is designed to reduce dependence on virtual desktop infrastructure, or VDI, for those workflows and to cut endpoint agent sprawl.

The announcement links the IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform with Menlo Secure Application Access, or SAA. The companies said the goal is to support secure access from endpoints to enterprise applications without treating the browser and the device as separate security problems.

The release also frames the partnership around the use of browsers for work in cloud and web apps, and says AI agents may operate alongside employees in those same browser sessions.

IGEL said the company was founded in 2001, is headquartered in Germany, and has offices in San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale. It also said it works with an ecosystem of 130 technology brands.

Menlo Security said it is headquartered in Mountain View, California, and said it is trusted by more than 1,000 global enterprises. The company said those customers include eight of the 10 largest financial and government institutions, and that it protects more than 8 million users and millions of simultaneous AI-agent sessions.

Jim Airdo, senior vice president of strategic alliances at IGEL, and Aayush Agarwal, director of product management at Menlo Security, were quoted in the release. The brief provided to Atlas did not include direct quotations from the executives.

The announcement comes as vendors position browser security and endpoint controls as part of broader Zero Trust strategies for enterprise access.

What happens next was not detailed in the release.
