Zoho Launches AI-powered Ulaa Enterprise Browser to Strengthen Cybersecurity for Businesses in the Middle East
Zoho Corp., a leading global technology company, today announced the launch of Ulaa Enterprise, a new secure enterprise browser designed to help businesses in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region enhance their cybersecurity posture amid escalating threats—particularly phishing attacks, which have emerged as the region's most pervasive cybersecurity concern. As MENA organisations embrace cloud solutions, the browser has become the primary workspace—and the largest attack surface. Ulaa Enterprise secures this critical access point by embedding protection directly into the browser, eliminating the need for complex third-party tools or virtual environments. The browser's AI capabilities, powered by Zoho's proprietary AI engine Zia, provide an additional layer of intelligent protection. Equipped with an integrated ZeroPhish system, it analyses URLs and web page behaviour in real-time to detect and block phishing attempts before users even interact with malicious links. Zia also categorises and filters unsafe web content automatically, creating a safer and more compliant browsing experience without disrupting employee productivity. 'It's uncommon for businesses to consider investing in paid browsers as part of their security strategy. However, with the sharp rise in cyberattacks across the MENA—particularly those stemming from unsafe and unsecured browsing—this mindset is shifting. Ulaa Enterprise was built specifically for organisations that want to strengthen their first line of defence, enhance cybersecurity hygiene, and safeguard both their data and their customers' trust.' said Saran B Paramasivam, Regional Director MEA, Zoho. According to Gartner, 25% of organisations will implement at least one secure enterprise browser (SEB) technology by 2028 to supplement their existing secure remote access and endpoint protection strategies. Ulaa Enterprise offers IT and security teams complete visibility and granular control over browser activity. Administrators can centrally define security policies, restrict downloads and extensions, monitor user behaviour, and enforce rules across different departments or user groups—all from a single console. Built-in data loss prevention measures ensure that sensitive information cannot be shared, copied, or downloaded without authorisation, while detailed audit logs and real-time monitoring allow teams to act quickly and decisively against potential threats. Ulaa Enterprise is designed for usability across all levels of an organisation, offering a seamless experience for both IT teams and general employees. It requires minimal IT overhead, with lightweight deployment and instant policy propagation—eliminating the need for complex virtual infrastructure. Built on the Chromium framework, Ulaa Enterprise offers a familiar interface while enforcing built-in, local security checks for speed and protection. It also delivers full cross-platform support, working smoothly across major desktop and mobile operating systems, including Android and iOS. This launch comes at a time of rapid momentum for Ulaa, with downloads and monthly active users increasing by 2.5 times since 2023—signalling growing global demand for secure, privacy-focused browsing solutions. The browser enables businesses in MENA to modernise their browser security infrastructure quickly and cost-effectively. It eliminates the need for multiple external security tools and delivers native protection that's tightly integrated, easy to manage, and highly responsive to today's threats. Ulaa Enterprise is available immediately to organisations across the Middle East and North Africa. For more information, visit

Zoho unveils Ulaa Enterprise for secure, privacy-first browsing
Zoho has launched Ulaa Enterprise, an enterprise-focused version of its privacy-oriented browser designed to offer organisations enhanced security and granular control features without the complications of third-party solutions. The new browser addresses the increasing importance of browsers as central tools in the workplace, with employees accessing cloud-based applications and handling sensitive data through their browsers. Ulaa Enterprise is intended to provide security at the browser level, reducing the reliance on additional software or virtual environments, and aims to minimise the IT workload while improving overall protection. Raju Vegesna, Chief Evangelist at Zoho, said: "The shift to cloud-based software has made the browser the largest attack surface inside an organisation, yet no software vendor has been able to produce a secure browser that strikes the correct balance between depth of policy controls and straightforward usability. Ulaa Enterprise addresses the need for a proactive and comprehensive security solution for businesses to reduce their attack surface, keep users secure, and stay in control of their security." Security features offered by Ulaa Enterprise include centralised policy management, allowing administrators to set access controls, manage download permissions, govern extension installations, and oversee user behaviour across groups. The browser also enforces data loss prevention (DLP) at the browser layer, blocking unauthorised uploads, copy and paste actions, screen captures, and downloads of sensitive information. For IT teams, Ulaa Enterprise delivers detailed visibility and control, including access to audit logs, risk monitoring, and precision enforcement of security policies at the browser level. These measures are designed to reduce the need for reactive security responses by providing preventative defences within the browser environment itself. Thomas Wieberneit, Founder and Principal Analyst at AheadCRM, commented: "As a Ulaa user, I highly appreciate its responsiveness, compatibility, and built-in security features. With the release of Ulaa Enterprise as the front-end to business applications, Zoho now has a security stack that nearly no other tech vendor can compete with. Zoho's relentless commitment to security and privacy is part of its DNA and is unique in the industry." The browser also features integration with Zia, Zoho's AI-based automation and insights tool. Zia offers several enhancements, such as ZeroPhish, which uses AI to detect phishing attacks before users interact with malicious content, analysing URLs and web page behaviour in real-time. Zia also includes smart web categorisation, which blocks unsafe content automatically, and tab organisation, which arranges tabs based on user behaviour to improve productivity and browser management. On the usability front, Ulaa Enterprise is designed to keep IT management straightforward, without necessitating complex infrastructure or heavy virtualisation. The browser promises simple deployment, lightweight management, and instant propagation of policy changes, all without affecting end-user performance. Security monitoring is described as ethical and targeted, aiming to build employee trust while avoiding invasive surveillance. Ulaa Enterprise is built on Chromium, providing users with a familiar browsing experience, while integrating local security checks for improved speed and data protection. It is compatible with all major desktop and mobile operating systems, including support for Android and iOS devices. The release of Ulaa Enterprise comes at a time of considerable growth for the Ulaa browser, with download numbers and monthly active users reportedly increasing by a factor of 2.5 since 2023. Ulaa Enterprise is available at a price starting from USD $1 per month per device or USD $10 per year per device. Zoho highlighted its approach to artificial intelligence, stating that its AI models are not trained on consumer data and do not retain user information. The company builds AI tools focused on assisting users while resisting the urge to impose additional costs on consumers through excessive model scaling. The company reaffirmed its privacy stance, noting that it does not operate an advertising revenue model, even for free products, and manages its own data centres to retain oversight of customer data and security. According to Zoho, more than 125 million users globally, spanning hundreds of thousands of organisations, use its products daily.
