RSA Conference — Today, Intel Security announced multiple
product portfolio enhancements that provide organizations greater
visibility into security incidents, stronger controls to prevent
data exfiltration, and cloud and partner integrations that ease the
management of their security environment. Together, these
developments improve the integration and communication between
individual solutions, strengthen organizations’ abilities to
comprehend the state of their security environment, and speed up
their ability to determine and take action with the appropriate
response to security incidents.
Enterprise Strategy Group recently reported that security
professionals are inundated with security incidents, averaging 78
investigations per organization in the last year, with 28 percent
of those involving targeted attacks – the most damaging and
challenging cyber-attacks to detect and mitigate. Many of the
survey respondents indicated that they lack the ability to fully
comprehend the state of their security environment, with 41 percent
of organizations desiring a better understanding of user endpoint
behavior and 37 percent calling for greater visibility into network
behavior. Nearly half (47 percent) specifically noted that
determining the impact or scope of a security incident takes up
valuable time especially when they must sort unthreatening events
from genuine cyber-attacks.
“Attackers will always have the advantage as long as they have
unlimited opportunities to determine which tactics are effective,
while defenders struggle to understand the nature of what is
confronting them,” said Chris Young, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of Intel Security Group. “To shift the advantage
from attackers to defenders, we need to dramatically re-think how
we see, understand, and respond to security events, allowing
defenses to adapt at least as fast as attackers adapt their
tactics.”
Enabling Security Connected with the Data Exchange
Layer
Intel Security’s Data Exchange Layer (DXL) ecosystem marks a new
era in security where all components come together to work as a
single cohesive system, regardless of vendor or underlying
architecture. The DXL is an ultra-fast, bidirectional
communications fabric that enables information and context sharing
between any connected security technologies.
Updated solutions from Intel Security and new integrations from
Security Innovation Alliance partners, TITUS, ForeScout and
CloudHASH Security, now offer even greater protection speed and
precision. New McAfee Web Protection 7.5.2 now has the ability to
share threat data for more comprehensive detection of web attacks.
McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint 9.3.5 now shares local
threat data, acting in real time to prevent data loss. Integrations
between McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange and McAfee Enterprise
Security Manager can also identify any managed endpoint that has
previously accessed or executed files that have been identified as
malicious.
McAfee Web Protection 7.5.2 and McAfee DLP Endpoint 9.3.5 will
be available in the second quarter of 2015. For more information,

Expanding the Security Connected Ecosystem for Granular
Visibility into Endpoint Activity
Working to build its ever-expanding ecosystem of threat
defenses, Intel Security announced the latest version of McAfee
Next Generation Firewall, which leverages granular endpoint
contextual and process-related information via McAfee EIA. McAfee
Next Generation Firewall 5.9 offers network and security
administrators highly accurate control of endpoint application
communications in association with user identities. Businesses will
benefit from automated prevention of data breaches initiated from
endpoints, and faster remediation of threats through real-time
sharing of network and endpoint intelligence.
McAfee Next Generation Firewall 5.9 will be available later this
year. For more information, visit:

Uncover Compromise through Correlation of Threat
Information
A secure email gateway collects a trove of information that can
be extremely valuable for security teams in their processes of
threat investigation and incident response. Information about the
files that are received, URLs seen, IP addresses of email senders
and the identity of the recipients can all be useful. To take
advantage of that valuable data, the new version of McAfee Email
Protection 7.6.4 now integrates with Enterprise Security Manager to
share and correlate potential indicators of compromise, and help
reduce their time to containment and more reliably uncover the
scope of a breach.
To help security operations teams more easily identify, scope,
and contain incidents, McAfee Enterprise Security Manager now also
offers a cyber-threat manager that can consume and interpret
third-party threat feeds, as well as correlate threat intelligence
with rich payload data revealed by McAfee Advanced Threat Defense
(ATD). ATD produces Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX)
– formatted details on malware contents, which ESM interprets
alongside other data to better understand malware intent and guide
responses, such as hunting past activity, blacklisting malicious IP
addresses, and adding the data to watch lists and correlations to
continuously monitor for new interactions.
Expanding Security into the Public Cloud
As cloud adoption and infrastructure as a service continue to
grow in popularity and gain traction in the market, companies using
these services need to take steps to secure the guest operating
systems and above within these infrastructures. McAfee Public Cloud
Server Security Suite, uniquely addresses the need to achieve an
added level of security for these cloud infrastructures by
providing greater visibility, protection and control to secure the
Guest OS and above of public cloud workloads. Automated
operations provide the same level of agility and scale as the cloud
servers, and the solution is priced by the hour. Integrated
communications share threat information and file reputation scores
across all connected endpoints, for faster reactions to emerging
attacks.
McAfee Public Cloud Server Security Suite is available for
download from AWS Marketplace. For more information, visit:
https://blogs.mcafee.com/business/building-secure-castles-in-the-cloud
Together with long standing and strategic Intel Security
partner, InfoReliance, Intel Security is also offering McAfee
Public Cloud Server Security Suite as a paid, direct listing on AWS
Marketplace. For more information, visit AWS Marketplace McAfee
Public Cloud Server Security listing.
Intel Security Collaborates with Ericsson to Bring Managed
Security to Telecom Operators
Intel Security and Ericsson have announced a collaboration to
make managed security solutions available for telecom operators to
bundle with the existing enterprise service offerings. Combining
Ericsson’s managed services expertise, global delivery capability
and network security expertise with Intel Security’s broad
portfolio of consumer and enterprise security solutions will enable
enterprises to efficiently strengthen their security posture.
By supporting networks that connect more than 2.5 billion
subscribers and carry more than 40 percent of the world’s mobile
traffic, Ericsson is helping to realize a truly Networked Society.
Together with Intel Security, Ericsson aims to make it easier for
telecom operators to support their enterprise clients in protecting
valuable intellectual property, data, devices and identities.
