McAfee enhances product offerings

has announced a new alignment of
its business units and their solutions designed to best support
customers as they deal with changing threats and increased
regulation. The new solutions will consist of unified products that
include a combination of on-premise software, gateway appliances and
cloud-based Security-as-a-Service. McAfee core technologies,
including the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform, and its Global
Threat Intelligence, will play a key role in each business solution
and will continue to drive the company's industry leadership.

“Businesses are looking for solutions
to business issues, not just point products,” said Dave DeWalt,
President and CEO, McAfee. “By aligning with these business issues,
and providing a comprehensive approach that includes products,
technology and delivery methods, we aim to provide the best customer
experience in the industry,” he added.

McAfee businesses are aligned to offer
enhanced protection:

· Endpoint security: Customers
now
require their security partner to minimize vulnerabilities at
their endpoints with anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, web
security, desktop firewall, intrusion prevention, network access
control (NAC), policy auditing and encryption to properly defend a
business from threats and increased regulation. McAfee integrated
protections and controls are designed to help organizations cut
costs, simplify compliance, and reduce the frequency and urgency of
patching. While McAfee delivers comprehensive endpoint protection
competitors are now just trying to catch up with similar offerings.
Candace Worley will lead the Endpoint Security business unit,
bringing more than 10 years experience and knowledge of customers'
endpoint security needs.

· Network security: As the
current leader in the intrusion prevention market, McAfee, will now
challenge other network security companies with our Next Generation
Firewall. With enhanced application identity and control, and
advanced threat protection, McAfee is addressing a stagnant firewall
market by adapting to current and future customer needs. The
company's complete suite of network defense products, including
firewall, network behavioral analysis, IPS, and NAC hooks into the
McAfee unique Global Threat Intelligence network, to provide the
industry's best protection for customers. Rees Johnson, who drove
the McAfee IPS business to the market leading position, will lead the
Network Security business unit, bringing more than 15 years of
enterprise systems experience to the group, including 10 in the
security industry.

· Content security: McAfee
is
focused on providing customers with email, Web and data loss
prevention solutions that span all delivery platforms, including
on-premise software, gateway appliances and cloud-based offerings.
Integrated delivery will enable customers to choose hybrid delivery
options to meet the rapidly changing needs of their business. The
McAfee real-time, anti-malware technology is unsurpassed in the
industry, as demonstrated by the fact that McAfee customers were
protected against Operation Aurora before it was launched. Marc
Olesen, who leads the McAfee Cloud-based Security-as-a-Service
business will lead the Content Security business and continue to
drive the company's overall Cloud Security Strategy.

· Risk and compliance: Customers
struggle to unify security and compliance activities under a single
set of policies and processes because of increased threat level and
regulations. By automatically diagnosing IT environments, McAfee
simplifies and focuses asset protection and provides real-time
management of an organization's risk and compliance position so
that they can direct security and resource investments where they
matter most. The McAfee approach takes the guesswork out of when and
where organizations need to focus security efforts, saving customers
time and money. Stuart McClure who currently leads the McAfee Risk
and Compliance business unit will continue to drive innovation in
this area.
