McAfee Accelerates and Improves Both Data Protection and Threat Prevention across Device to Cloud
October 17, 2018
Expanded MVISION portfolio provides single point of visibility and
control across cloud services, delivering seamless data protection and
accelerating detection and blocking of threats
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MPOWER – McAfee, the device to cloud cybersecurity
company, today announced new products expanding its McAfee MVISION
portfolio, a first-of-its-kind solution that allows customers to deploy
security on their terms as they move to the cloud. Joining McAfee
MVISION ePO, McAfee
MVISION Endpoint and McAfee
MVISION Mobile, announced last July, the newly announced MVISION
solutions, McAfee
MVISION EDR and McAfee
MVISION Cloud—unveiled today at McAfee MPOWER 2018—deliver
comprehensive and integrated device-to-cloud data protection and threat
prevention capabilities that give customers a simpler and faster
approach to mitigating their risk of data loss.
“The MPOWER Cybersecurity Summit represents an opportunity for those
attending to sharpen skills and chart a course to prepare for the
future,” said Chris Young, chief executive officer, McAfee. “McAfee is
delivering a cloud-native portfolio, designed to protect data and stop
threats, from device to cloud. Digital transformation is inevitable; we
urge our customers to utilize the MVISION portfolio to feel empowered
against an expanding threatscape as they advance their organization.”
Digital transformation is driving the need for a cloud-first approach to
security. For organizations to adopt the cloud with peace of mind, they
not only need visibility into data and applications, but consistent data
and threat protection policies across their data and applications
wherever they reside. With the addition of MVISION EDR, MVISION Cloud
and McAfee ePO-Unified Data Protection, McAfee is enabling organizations
to mount a powerful threat and data-centric defense spanning from device
to the cloud. These solutions are designed to give freedom and
confidence to organizations that are accelerating their business through
digital transformation initiatives.
McAfee MVISION EDR
McAfee MVISION EDR enables security teams to act faster and with higher
precision so they can do more with their current staff and skill sets.
Typically, organizations suffer from information overload when it comes
to most EDR systems because they generate volumes of data and alerts
that require skills—often in short supply—to interpret and investigate
before action can be taken. MVISION EDR implements human machine teaming
to enable analysts of all skill levels to be more effective and
efficient. Integrated into the McAfee ePO management platform, analysts
can identify threats, dive into context, review the results of automated
investigations and take actions to respond.
McAfee MVISION EDR utilizes advanced analytics to identify and
prioritize suspicious behavior from contextually rich endpoint data,
helps guide and automate in-depth investigations to reduce the tactical
strain on security analysts and enables rapid response with direct
actions and broader integration to the security ecosystem. The solution
delivers:
-
Cloud-based analytics: Cloud analytics leverage the
Mitre ATT&CK1 framework to uncover and prioritize a
broad spectrum of suspicious behaviors, helping analysts quickly
understand risk severity and take appropriate next steps: dismiss,
respond or investigate. -
Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven investigation: Accelerates
investigation and evidence gathering with dynamic investigation guides
that address the cyber-skills gap by up-leveling junior analysts and
improving senior analyst efficiency. In McAfee’s own internal security
operations experience, the company was able to up-skill level-1
operators and achieve up to a 15x reduction in time to investigate. -
Rapid Response: Enables affected systems to be quickly
contained with a single click, while ecosystem integrations support
security team workflows and processes to increase operational
efficiency.
“MVISION EDR approaches endpoint detection and response by providing
automated investigation capabilities, making the tool more accessible to
junior analysts and reducing the level of skill required for triage and
investigations. This can help organizations maximize the value of EDR,
accelerate processes, and improve analyst efficiency,” according to Jon
Oltsik, Senior Principal Analyst, Cybersecurity with ESG.
McAfee MVISION Cloud
As information moves from protected, on-premises corporate networks, to
the cloud, it can be very difficult for organizations to ensure its
protection. McAfee has solved this problem with MVISION Cloud, which
brings together data protection and threat prevention across
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). The McAfee MVISION Cloud platform enables
enterprises to adopt cloud services while securing both sanctioned and
unsanctioned cloud services, protect sensitive data across the cloud and
stop the most advanced threats.
-
Visibility into data, context and user behavior: Provides
visibility and control across all cloud services, employing a
combination of API- and proxy-enabled approaches, with DLP policy that
can be extended from devices to the cloud. This includes content
scanning, logging and activity monitoring and threat and malware
detection. -
Centralized management: Delivers consistent and comprehensive
management across public cloud services spanning the SaaS, PaaS, and
IaaS spectrum, like Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce and Amazon Web
Services (AWS). -
Advanced Threat Protection: Protects against malware and
external and insider threats through UEBA (User and Entity Behavior
Analytics) driven by machine learning built for the scale and
elasticity of cloud environments.
McAfee Device-to-Cloud Unified Data Protection
The latest integration
between McAfee Endpoint DLP and Skyhigh Security Cloud DLP offers
the same data loss prevention (DLP) policy engine across endpoints,
networks and the cloud. McAfee Unified Data Protection offers users a
single-pane-of-glass to manage all DLP incidents and reporting via
McAfee ePO leading to simplicity, increased business efficiency and
improved security.
“The new MVISION portfolio of Enterprise products is designed to help
our customers stay on top of the evolving security needs, from device to
cloud, with a solution that is simple, flexible, comprehensive and fast,
so that our customers can act decisively and mitigate risks” said Raja
Patel, vice president and general manager of Corporate Security
Products, McAfee.
McAfee MVISION ePO, MVISION Endpoint, MVISION Mobile and MVISION Cloud
is currently available. McAfee ePO-Unified Data Protection will be
available late October and MVISION EDR will be available in Q1 2019.
McAfee Cybersecurity Services
To fully maximize MVISION, along with other McAfee products and
solutions, McAfee also announced the McAfee
Essential Success Plan, the third tier of its customer success plan.
The Essential success plan–along with Premier
and Enhanced–provides:
-
a personalized, structured plan that combines success and escalation
management - consulting and education services
- expert guidance in building out security success plan
- technical support
Plus McAfee introduced a new Incident Response (IR) Service that focuses
on ensuring customers are able to plan, remediate, and minimize the
impact of a cyberattack. This service consists of a readiness
assessment, using a best-in-class methodology, that prepares customers
with a strong, actionable IR plan. It also includes IR experts who help
customers respond more effectively, remediate, and recover when the
emergency occurs.
