Business Wire
FOCUS 2010 – McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE), today announced as
part of its Security Connected initiative, the industry’s most
comprehensive management platform which delivers proactive risk
management, integrated business operations, and coordinated
security defenses. McAfee Security Management 5 provides a unified
monitoring, management, and reporting system that scales to
any-sized organization and ensures all endpoints, networks and
content are secure.
Businesses’ security purchases today are mostly tactical,
creating a patchwork of independent security products that are
separately managed. Threats are accelerating at a rate that far
surpasses the existing approach to managing multiple products and
layers of security independently. In order to effectively stay
ahead of security threats, companies must be able to view all risks
associated with mobile devices via a centralized view.
“Technology drivers such as virtualization, consumerization of
IT, and SaaS sourced solutions, have forced us to re-think our
approach to risk management and operational security,” said Stephen
Polinsky, manager, IT Governance, Express. “McAfee’s solution
provides the tools we need to better understand the threat
landscape, our vulnerabilities, and the relevant countermeasures,
translating to more effective risk management. It allows easier
integration of new technologies to support IT initiatives and drive
business results.”
McAfee Security Management 5 Overview:
Application Enablement: New interfaces and software
development kits (SDK’s) provide an open platform for companies,
developers, and partners to integrate centralized security
management into existing business processes. McAfee® ePolicy
Orchestrator® platform now offers a Web API that enables customers
and partners to integrate security operations into change and
systems management frameworks. A new version of McAfee® Risk
Advisor includes a SDK that enables rapid integration of new
security countermeasures - broadening the risk profile view and
reducing operational costs. In support of this new SDK, McAfee is
also announcing McAfee Application Control as a newly recognized
countermeasure within McAfee Risk Advisor.
Shared Intelligence: Provides coordinated defenses across
security layers so that endpoints, networks, email, web, and data
layers work together to minimize or eliminate security attacks.
McAfee has integrated its Global Threat Intelligence across its
broad portfolio of products, delivering a shared threat
intelligence model. McAfee has developed game-changing enhancements
– such as the evolution of its reputation services and use of the
cloud to hunt for threats proactively. As an example, McAfee® Host
Intrusion Prevention is integrated with file and network connection
reputation intelligence enabling customers to identify and drop
suspicious network connections. McAfee has also ported its threat
intelligence to the iPhone and iPad enabling IT security
professionals to have real-time access to threat information
wherever and whenever they need it.
Unified Management: McAfee Security Management can
administer the security of any device, data, network, application,
or database across security implementations that range from
hosted/SaaS to on-premises as well as a hybrid and virtual and
physical environments. McAfee recently announced the McAfee
Management for Optimized Virtualized Environments (MOVE) platform
providing advanced endpoint protection for virtualized systems. Due
to the dynamic nature of virtual environments, the McAfee MOVE
platform also includes the automated ability for security
management policies to follow the virtual host they are associated
with regardless of where it is located and how often it is
moved.
Situational Awareness: Allows businesses to monitor,
manage and report on metrics to reduce risk, focus security efforts
and investments, and reduce costs. On the SaaS Platform, McAfee
provides automatic asset discovery and synchronization through
integration with Microsoft Active Directory that eliminates manual
asset entry and out-of-sync security policies. McAfee ePO also adds
the ability to create Situational Policy Assignments – logical
groupings of policies that security administrators can apply to
assets based on business or security posture need. The new version
of McAfee Risk Advisor includes selective threat and asset analysis
to display risk profiles for sub-groups like specific departments
or geographies, giving organizations the ability to increase threat
detection and reduce response time.
