McAfee intros data loss prevention soln

McAfee has announced plans for the latest version of its data loss prevention
solution that addresses growing concerns about the security of regulated data
and sensitive information. McAfee Data Loss Prevention technology has planned to
include a common policy across all components, database crawling, easier
workflow through the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform and greatly improved
support for Microsoft Active Directory. Built upon a unique data analytics
technology, McAfee Data Loss Prevention technology provides comprehensive data
protection from the USB drive to the firewall and beyond.

"We found that because the system captures all of the data we can do more
with McAfee Data Loss Prevention than other products on the market," said Mark
Moroses, Assistant CIO-Continuum Health Partners, New York. "This is a unique
capability and we use it extensively. The system doesn't just present us with a
static view of user rule violations, it allows us to go back in the past and
look for patterns of behavior and abuse. This capability has enhanced our
ability to investigate incidents more thoroughly and in less time. Our team can
now rapidly access more information related to an incident and they can review
the past activities of the user under investigation as well. The system gives us
the peace of mind that we are not missing anything. This is essential because
interrogating anything less than 100 percent of the information is
unacceptable," he added.

"Due to limitations inherent in legacy DLP solutions, organizations have had
to take a brute force approach to protecting data," said Gerhard Watzinger,
Executive VP and GM-Data Protection Business Unit, McAfee. "These approaches are
like using a sledge hammer to crack a nut and are usually used because of the
high cost and complexity with deployment of traditional DLP. With McAfee Data
Loss Prevention technology we can now enable the deployment of DLP that is cost
effective and quick to value," he concluded.
