New Delhi: McAfee has announced a new alignment of its business units and their solutions which will consist of unified products designed to support customers as they deal with changing threats and increased regulation. The unified products will be 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," added DeWalt.
McAfee integrated protections and controls are designed to help organizations cut costs, simplify compliance, and reduce the frequency and urgency of patching as 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 will now challenge other network security companies with their 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. Integrated delivery will enable customers to choose hybrid delivery options to meet the rapidly changing needs of their business as 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, cloud-based offerings. 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.
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 solutions were designed to be manageable through the cloud or by McAfee's ePolicy Orchestrator platform, the only enterprise-class, open platform to centrally manage security for systems, networks, content, and compliance solutions. With end-to-end visibility and powerful automations that slash incident response times, ePolicy Orchestrator platform dramatically strengthens protection and drives down the cost of managing security.
