McAfee to offer one stop security solution to firms
Bangalore: McAfee has launched ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 to help secure organizations from a vast and ever-growing threat landscape. According to McAfee Avert Labs, attacks on digital information have increased over 500 percent this year. Many industry research claims that usually a large enterprise network uses as many as 200 different security providers. Due to this, there has been a huge cost involved and there have been complexity since these tools generally cannot share information, coordinate threat intelligence feeds, or correlate security events. Many firms as of now are looking for an one stop solution to all security problems, to help them reduce the investment cost in security and also better protection. "IT organizations want to consolidate and standardize on a strategic security partner to deliver the highest protection levels while driving down cost. McAfee is transforming the way businesses approach security," said Matt Fairbanks, Senior Vice President of product and solution marketing at McAfee. There are four important security parameters that large firms must think about to achieve an optimized security architecture. One is to integrate defense across systems and networks. Secondly, an automated compliance tightly integrated with the greater security ecosystem. Also an open security management platform that will provide a single management console with integration capabilities. And in the end a system to detect threat even in the cloud environment as well as distribution capabilities and one that will cover all five primary threat vectors, reputational analysis, visibility across the entire internet, and a dedicated team of security research experts. McAfee ePO 4.5 proposes to satisfy these four elements claiming to be the first and only security management platform to centrally manage network, system, data, and compliance solutions kept informed in real-time by McAfee's Global Threat Intelligence Technologies (including Artemis and TrustedSource). McAfee ePO 4.5 provides enhancements where administrators can develop security policies to automate protection based on user profiles rather than merely by system or device. This is important when it comes to encryption and URL filtering capabilities. It also provides automation framework to help minimize vulnerabilities and save administrator time in completing common tasks.
