McAfee Extends its Security Leadership in the Cloud and Enhances its
Cloud Security Platform
The McAfee Cloud Security Platform helps businesses build a secure
bridge to the Cloud
India--
June 12, 2012 -- McAfee, the world’s largest dedicated security technology
company continues to extend its security leadership to the Cloud
with new enhancements to its security platform for the Cloud. The McAfee
Cloud Security Platform provides a framework that allows organizations to
extend their security and policy enforcement into the Cloud by securing the
three primary channels of traffic – email, web and identity – delivering a
secure and trusted bridge between the enterprise and the Cloud.
The challenge
for cloud-adoption in the enterprise is not only to secure data that resides or
travels through the Cloud and prevent
sensitive data from leaking, but also to protect their organization, their
remote offices and their mobile workers from being attacked by cybercriminals
who utilize the Cloud and new technologies – mobile apps and Cloud APIs for
example – as new in-roads to unleash malware and conduct targeted attacks on
organizations.
“Identity, Web and email security components are critical as
enterprise IT customers deploy both on-premise and off-premise Cloud-based
solutions over the next several years, says Phil Hochmuth, IDC Research.
“Customers will expect to build on existing security investments while
transitioning appropriate business functions to the Cloud to save on resources
and time. IDC believes an appropriately configured Cloud model must guarantee
more streamlined business processes, greater business agility, increased
security and stronger access management. McAfee, as evidenced by this
announcement, continues to deliver key components necessary for customer success
in Cloud adoption scenarios.”
The updates
to the McAfee
Cloud Security Platform focus on enhanced security for Cloud-based
interactions through continued integration between the products, innovative
context-based policy support and web protection for mobile workers. In
conjunction with McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, McAfee Cloud Security
Platform provides real time protection and correlates data across all threat
vectors—file, web, email and network, thus protecting customers before attacks
occur.
New Updates
to the McAfee Cloud Security Platform Include:
·
Integration: Enhanced protection and simplified
management
§
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) everywhere: Integrated DLP
capabilities are now available in McAfee Email Protection and McAfee Web Gateway
– minimizing security gaps and data leakage across the different traffic
channels.
§
New Web reporting for McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform:
Fully integrated into McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) platform, the
most advanced security management software available, McAfee Content Security
Reporter provides detailed web reporting capabilities. Web reporting through
McAfee ePO software streamlines security management by providing greater
visibility into security protections and incidents across the enterprise.
§
Hybrid Web Protection deployment support: Common policy
across on-premise and SaaS deployments from a single console simplifies
management while ensuring consistent policy enforcement for all web traffic
including HTTP and HTTPS. Unified reporting across on-premise and SaaS
deployments provides a consolidated view into web traffic patterns, trends and
issues.
·
Web Protection for mobile workers: McAfee Client Proxy
simplifies authentication and redirection of web traffic from off-network user
laptops to a McAfee Web Protection solution - either McAfee SaaS Web Protection
or McAfee Web Gateway –ensuring consistent, tamper-resistant security policy
enforcement regardless of location
·
Innovative, context- aware policy management:
§
Web Gateway: Query and apply data from external sources to
Web Gateway policies for expanded web access control. For example, Web Gateway
can now query the Google API for YouTube video content categorization and apply
to access policies in real-time.
§
Identity Manager: Factor in network, mobile device or other
client hardware attributes into a cloud access control policy decision –
enabling granular, context-based control.
“Interest in
Cloud computing continues to grow – customers need to know that they can adopt
the cloud and rely on the cloud for the majority of their enterprise
communications – safely and securely,” said Pat Calhoun,
SVP & GM, Network Security for McAfee. “The McAfee
Cloud Security Platform offers a comprehensive solution so organizations can
confidently connect to the cloud.”
