Maikfeil Security Platform: A "safe bridge" to the cloud

Security issues and access to information are often the two most common obstacles when businesses consider deploying cloud computing. According to the IDC survey, 90% of companies believe that security is the biggest obstacle to deploying a cloud. How can an enterprise protect data that is sent, received, or stored in the cloud, and how can it be ensured that only the right people have access to the information? While cloud service providers have been trying to reassure their customers, they have not been able to help companies solve these challenges. Therefore, enterprises can only choose to abandon cloud computing or the cost of building a proprietary cloud environment.





McAfee's launch of the Cloud security platform (McAfee Cloud Security Platform) is an important part of the McAfee Secure Interconnection (Connected) framework. By extending and applying enterprise security practices and policies to data that is passed in and out through the cloud, the Maikfeil security platform can help businesses secure and confidently enjoy the benefits of cloud computing. Secure e-mail, WEB, and authentication traffic by providing real-time protection against the latest threats with the McAfee Global Threat IntelliSense system (Threat Intelligence,gti).





in fact, such cloud traffic is not limited to traffic from independent agencies or corporate headquarters, but also to the traffic sent to and received from remote branch offices and employees using mobile devices. As a result, security is required wherever there is data flow, regardless of the channel or location. McAfee offers a variety of deployment options that can cover any employee in any location, including traditional client deployment solutions, software as a service (SaaS) solution, or a combination of both. So how does an enterprise build a safe bridge to the cloud?





protect cloud Environment from data





before starting to think about what kind of data to move to the cloud, the enterprise must first understand what data it has, where it resides, and, more importantly, the value or sensitivity of the data. Only when a complete list of data is sorted out can the enterprise begin to develop appropriate policies to protect the data and implement these policies for data that flows into and out of the enterprise.





Protect the main cloud channels. The main traffic channels for data inflow and outflow cloud environments cover e-mail traffic, web traffic (mobile and application services), and authentication traffic. This includes all application and protocol data through port 80 or 443, such as traffic between social media sites, instant messages, blogs, and Web e-mail. Protecting these channels is critical to protecting incoming and outgoing cloud traffic. Bidirectional control ensures the safety of outgoing traffic while ensuring that the perimeter of the corporate network is protected from spam, malware, and other cloud threats.





Modular design allows easy integration of




The
Maikfeil security platform represents a "natural evolution" from traditional distributed e-mail and WEB security gateways to integrated cloud gateways, which allow you to manage all the data flowing between the enterprise and the cloud with this single integrated solution. The Maikfeil security platform consists of McAfee's key products and technologies. Intel's identity and Web Services solutions further enrich its functionality. These solutions work together to help users build consistent control across the enterprise infrastructure and even transparently implement security and compliance policies for mobile and remote users. The modular design of the Maikfeil security platform allows users to easily integrate and integrate various protections.





McAfee Web Homeowner. This product helps organizations of all sizes implement secure communications from any device and secure and efficient access to business applications. Bi-directional Web security features provide protection for enterprise users when they use browsers to access hosted applications in the cloud. Protection based on credibility and intent is forward-looking and can help users cope with today's changing threat posture. The product also allows enterprises to refine the functionality supported by interactive WEB applications, implement policies to the user level, and extend the security that was previously provided only on internal enterprise servers to the content of mobile device access.





McAfee Email Homeowner. This product provides comprehensive e-mail protection for the enterprise, combining comprehensive incoming threat protection with outgoing data loss protection, encryption, powerful reporting, and easy management. The product also uses the same technology as McAfee's data loss protection to help businesses prevent internal data from leaking through e-mail. It integrates with the McAfee epolicy orchestrator platform, enabling organizations to take full advantage of centralized management and reporting.





McAfee Data Loss Prevention. McAfee Data loss Solutions ensure data security and provide effective monitoring for storage, mobility, and unmatched data. With Non-invasive network technology, McAfee data loss solutions can discover data residing anywhere or in any format, providing enterprises with a wealth of data mining tools to help them develop more efficient strategies for better and faster protection of data. Enterprises can also implement centralized management and reporting through McAfee epolicy orchestrator software.





Intel Cloud Identity Management. In collaboration with Intel, McAfee provides Intel expressway Cloud Access 360, which allows organizations to use enterprise identity information to implement comprehensive access control for cloud applications. The software provides cloud account setup, revocation, identity synchronization, SSO connectors with major SaaS vendors, and dual-factor authentication using a one-time password soft token. Provides cloud connectivity to applications and data through the SAML, OAuth, OpenID, and XACML standards, fully interconnected with existing identity information management infrastructures.





Intel Service Gateway. In collaboration with Intel, McAfee also provides the Intel Expressway Service Gateway, which delivers application-level application programming Interface (API) security, Data transformation, and representational state transfer (REST) to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) mediations. Exchange an identity token to a high-speed gateway in the network edge or cloud. The Intel Expressway Service Gateway simplifies the way services are delivered, mitigating the execution of security policies performed by applications as agents.





provides real-time protection
with GTI



The
Maikfeil security platform is supported by the McAfee Global threat IntelliSense system to provide real-time protection against known and emerging threats. By monitoring the latest vulnerabilities in all major threat vectors (for example, files, Web, e-mail, and networks) and the entire IT industry, we can correlate the data collected from millions of global sensors and provide the most comprehensive protection in the marketplace.





McAfee Cloud Security Platform offers a variety of deployment options in response to a variety of safety requirements. Organizations can freely choose a client solution, SaaS, or a mix of both when deploying cloud security. Customers are also free to transform deployment options when business or security requirements change.





In addition, the modular design of the Maikfeil security platform and the built-in APIs enable McAfee and its partners to add additional security services and solutions at any time. These solutions, built on the Maikfeil security platform, help customers consistently expand security policies and control the efficiencies that cloud computing brings.
