Interview McAfee "M duo" to feel McAfee Cloud security confidence

The two leading actors in Beijing were the McAfee Asia Pacific Vice president Marc Olesen and McAfee Asia Pacific Chief technology officer Michael Sentonas. These two "M" heroes are very characteristic, Marc Olesen gives the first impression is very British gentleman style. Michael Sentonas looks very much like the little Downey who plays "Iron Man." Gestures reveal a tug of self-confidence and random.

In fact about the cloud security work, McAfee has started very early. The event is to make a clear explanation of its cloud security development strategy, such as McAfee can now secure from the cloud, make a "cloud" of security products, and then use the "cloud" technology security measures to protect the customer's cloud computing services.

Well-known cloud computing vendors Amazon Web Service (AWS) and leading SaaS vendors SuccessFactors will be the first batch of service providers using the McAfee Cloud Security program. The McAfee Cloud Security program incorporates the cloud security certification services provided by a leading certification body and the automated audit, repair, and reporting capabilities provided by McAfee.

Michael Sentonas said: "McAfee has done a very important job in the last 18-24 months to put the latest research and development results into the cloud." It is understood that McAfee currently deploys 120 million user points in more than 120 countries worldwide that can connect to McAfee's cloud, the global Threat Intelligence (GTI) system. McAfee analyzes 75 billion websites, 20 billion emails per month ...

Mr Michael Sentonas's confidence in McAfee's cloud security is too high for anyone else to be. In the Q&a link, a female journalist asked him what the difference is between McAfee's cloud security reputation technology and other vendors. "McAfee is an industry leader based on reputable technology," he said. Over the past two years we've been working on document-based technology, which now extends this technology to the application of the web as well as to the domain of the Internet. Some of our competitors are focused only on email, some are focused on documents, and no vendor has a product in three areas like McAfee. ”

(Editor's note: He does not seem to have the same reputation for cloud security technology trends in technology as a matter of fact ...) ）

During the interview, Mr. Michael Sentonas continued to maintain his confidence in McAfee products.

Q: Many security vendors, after extensive use of cloud security technology, have been separated from the VB100 of this traditional international virus testing agency. Will McAfee exit VB100 after "cloud security"?

Michael Sentonas: No! McAfee is very willing to participate in this kind of security test, we do not have that plan ...

Q: In the third quarter of 2010 NSS Labs security software test results, we found that several security products based on "cloud security" in the malware blocking and exploit blocking two aspects of the performance is very different, And McAfee's products have achieved a more balanced performance, the participating McAfee products to adopt the "cloud security" technology, can you give a brief introduction?

Michael Sentonas: We've been doing better in NSS's tests, like our recent IPs products have just won the NSS Labs Award, tested for 95% of the protection. We also welcome testing by other types of security agencies. As for why we can get better results, this is inseparable from our efforts over the years.

Let's take a look at another "M" question:

Q: After widespread adoption of cloud security technology, efficiency has also increased. Will McAfee have a new redundancy plan?

Marc Olesen (laughs): ... This is not necessary, and improving efficiency does not mean that employees should be laid off. We will let them do more important work, the cloud is just an important innovation tool ...

Q: With Symantec's acquisition of VeriSign's security and certification business, can other security companies be able to stand on the same starting line in terms of phishing protection?

is Marc olesen:verisign not primarily SSL-certified? I didn't hear they had a fishing protection business ...

(Editor's note: ...) Direct disregard of competitors? ）
