# Actionable Guidance for Menlo Security # Generated: 2026-01-15 12:11:15 # Step 1: Navigate to Menlo Security Admin Console → Policy → Browser Security → Extension Policy # Purpose: Create a Block List policy to neutralize the malicious Chrome extension vector # Expected: A new policy rule is established that specifically blocks the Extension ID associated with the threat, or enforces a 'Block All except Allow List' posture to prevent unauthorized extension installation. # Step 2: Navigate to Menlo Security Admin Console → Policy → Web Policy → Security # Purpose: Enforce Isolation on 'Uncategorized' and 'Security Risk' categories to address the Microsoft Copilot malicious URL vector # Expected: Traffic originating from the malicious links will be routed through the Isolation Core (RBI), rendering active content and drive-by downloads harmless on the endpoint. # Step 3: Navigate to Menlo Security Admin Console → Policy → Web Policy → Content & File Controls → Input Controls # Purpose: Enable 'Restrict User Input' (Read-Only Mode) for uncategorized sites to prevent credential theft # Expected: Users clicking through to the malicious phishing site will be able to view the page via RBI but will be technically prevented from typing passwords or submitting forms. # Verification Steps: # - Attempt to install a test extension not on the Allow List or visit a site hosting the blocked extension ID # Expected: The browser should display a Menlo Security block page or a native browser notification stating the extension is managed/blocked by the administrator. # - Navigate to a test site categorized as 'Uncategorized' (or use safe.menlosecurity.com/isolate) # Expected: The page loads with the Menlo Security 'M' icon visible in the browser chrome or lower right corner, confirming the session is active within the Isolation Core.
