Mcafee transforms approach to security

Bengaluru: McAfee announced the release of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 to help and secure organizations from threats. McAfee Avert Labs data shows that attacks on digital information have increased over 500 percent since last year. According to industry research, a large enterprise network can have as many as 200 different security providers. This creates significant cost and complexity and delivers suboptimal protection, since these tools generally cannot share information, coordinate threat intelligence feeds, or correlate security events.

To address these challenges, leading organizations are turning to integrated offerings to achieve an improved security posture while at the same time lowering costs. To achieve an optimized security architecture, characterized by the highest possible protection levels and the lowest possible risk and cost, organizations must consider four primary elements.

Integrated defense across systems and networks to deliver best in class layered protection in a coordinated, correlated fashion across multiple required counter measures and security sensors.

Automated compliance tightly integrated with the greater security ecosystem to empower the enterprise to achieve and sustain compliance through a risk-based approach and to remove the difficulty in meeting mandated deadlines for the ever-growing list of compliance regulations.

Real-time threat intelligence that delivers in-the-cloud detection and distribution capabilities, coverage for all five primary threat vectors, reputational analysis, visibility across the entire Internet, and a dedicated team of security research experts.

“IT organizations want to consolidate and standardize on a strategic security partner to deliver the highest protection levels while driving down cost,” said Matt Fairbanks, Senior VP-Product and Solution Marketing, McAfee. “With McAfee's unmatched network and systems security portfolio, powerful compliance technologies, real-time Global Threat Intelligence, and a security management platform based on ePO, McAfee is transforming the way businesses approach security,” he added.
