March 18 2009 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) and Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) today
announced that together they are planning to bring threat data to
life and make it actionable in new enterprise solutions. The work
pairs McAfee�s global reach in threat intelligence with the proven
expertise of Harris in visualization and mission management
technology.
McAfee and Harris plan to jointly develop solutions that will
provide network operators with heightened levels of situational
awareness as well as new capabilities for mission management and
mission assurance. A sneak preview is on display for McAfee�s
public sector customers during today�s �Cybersecurity in a Time of
Transition� summit hosted by McAfee in Washington DC.
�Cyberspace is indispensable to modern society. It underpins
every economic sector of the world and everyone has a stake in it,�
said Dale Meyerrose, vice president and general manager for Cyber
and Information Assurance Programs at Harris Corporation. �We are
very pleased to work with McAfee to develop solutions that make
cyberspace a trusted enterprise for government and private
industry.�
�Cybersecurity is the nexus of cross-sector infrastructure
resiliency,� said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee Avert
Labs. �McAfee threat intelligence enables immediate assessment of
network traffic across the planet, disabling the enemy by enabling
better decisions and a faster response. We plan to marry Harris�
world-class visualization with our advanced threat intelligence,
transforming cybersecurity into infrastructure security.�
The initial solution concept previewed today focuses on
enterprise intelligence by demonstrating the ability to track
Internet activity on a global scale using geospatial-referencing.
The concept displays the trust and threat levels of worldwide
traffic from country to host machines and highlights otherwise
clandestine open connections. The concept solution also features
network volume, location of malicious traffic, and active
enterprise �spoofing� information that is geospatial-located.
These new 3D applications to graphical interfaces will provide a
wealth of additional intelligence to network operators over the
current tabular interfaces. It will provide what network operators
need, including awareness of activity - both legitimate and
malicious - across worldwide networks.
McAfee threat intelligence provides global situational
awareness, identifying trust and threat levels based on years of
history on IP addresses, domains, URLs and attributes of traffic
payload � from geo-location to social networking and hundreds of
parameters of behavioral analysis. With worldwide visualization
techniques, Harris is helping the world envision what McAfee
products already see.
