McAfee announces full spectrum network defense solution

Bengaulru: McAfee announced the McAfee full spectrum network defense solution. This announcement features major enhancements to the McAfee network security platform, including day-zero malware detection, network threat behavior analysis and application-level security. The solution includes network IPS, user behavior analysis, network threat behavior analysis, network access control and McAfee firewall enterprise.

Charles Kolodgy, Research Director, IDC remarked, “Organizations typically lack the ability to see the full spectrum of network threats. They need deeper insight into the whole set of threats in order to provide full protection for critical business systems, such as data centers. Integrating threat detection provides full visibility when inspection isn't enough or when it isn't feasible for cost or scalability reasons. In an incredibly dynamic threat environment, the ability to detect malware in real-time can provide tangible benefits.”

Full spectrum network defense is the first solution, to integrate a network intrusion prevention system with behavioral analysis tools to provide additional visibility across the network, real-time threat protection technology and enterprise risk assessment tools.

Dan Ryan, Executive VP and GM-Network Security Business Unit, McAfee stated, “Customers have come to rely on McAfee for the best network protection available and our commitment to them is to continue to innovate and break the molds of traditional network IPS and firewall capabilities. With full spectrum network defense, we are reinforcing that commitment by integrating best-in-class security technologies into our network defense products. We will continue to deliver on customer demand by providing powerful new tools that extend visibility into the vast unprotected areas of the network.”
