<\/em><\/p>\nBeginning in March 2019, By Light and Menlo worked closely with the DISA CBII Program Management Office (PMO) to design and implement the CBII prototype capability which eliminates most web-based threats such as drive-by-downloads. This technology removes the browsing process from the desktop and moves it to the cloud, effectively creating an \u201cair gap\u201d between the internet and enterprise networks. The successful implementation of this effort will directly enhance military and civilian personnel\u2019s ability to defend the DoD Information Network (DODIN).<\/p>\n
According to Bob Donahue, By Light CEO, \u201cThis win culminates more than 18 months of working closely with Menlo, DISA, and its Mission Partners to shape the commercial application of Menlo\u2019s Global Cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG) to improve DoD\u2019s information security posture for those entities conducting business across the Internet. Our CBII solution improves the security posture of the network, will scale to meet DoD needs, is easy to deploy and manage, and optimizes and reduces bandwidth \u2013 thereby extending the life of the network.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isolation technology allows enterprises to separate their network from the public web while providing users seamless access to the internet with a native browser experience,\u201d says Joe Boyd, By Light VP and CBII Program Manager. \u201cWithin the cloud native architecture, all components scale horizontally. You couple this with global availability, anytime\/anywhere access, always-on cloud with failover between regions, instant on-boarding of users, 24x7x365 operations support, and what you get is an enterprise-class cybersecurity capability virtually eliminating internet browsing threats traversing the Internet Access Points (IAPs) while also optimizing and reducing bandwidth utilization.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re truly humbled to partner with By Light on this groundbreaking program with DISA,\u201d said Poornima DeBolle, Chief Product Officer, Menlo Security. \u201cOur partnership with the By Light team and the CBII Program Management Office (PMO) is a true testament to the value of the Menlo Security \u2018Isolation Core\u2019 architecture to deliver on their security and scalability needs to help defend the users of the DoD Information Network (DODIN).\u201d<\/p>\n
