McAfee improves cloud computing security to new heights

"Companies want to give full play to the time-saving and cost-saving advantages of the cloud, but companies are often worried about data security," said Marcolesen, senior vice president and managing director for content and cloud security. In order to enable our customers to enjoy the full security experience of Intel and McAfee products, we continue to increase our research and investment in technology to help companies enhance their confidence in the cloud, thereby maximizing the time and cost savings that cloud technology can bring. ”

Companies often view the potential risk of data loss as one of the "stumbling blocks" in implementing cloud computing solutions. By consolidating the latest features, Mcafeecloudsecurityplatform can reassure businesses about this concern.

Enhancements to the mcafeecloudsecurityplatform include the following security modules:

Mcafeecloudidentitymanager (also available by purchasing Intel's intel®expresswaycloudaccess360) expands integration with Security Declaration Markup Language (SAML) awareness and traditional login cloud applications. And further simplifies the experience of end users using the single sign-on (SSO) portal to achieve centralized seamless access.

mcafeedatalossprevention (DLP) protects the information in the cloud environment. The main highlights of version 9.2 DLP include virtual machine support, which enables organizations to take full advantage of their client or cloud infrastructure and data classification capabilities to quickly inventory, categorize, and repair data in hundreds of servers and thousands of file shares.

mcafeeemailgateway7.0 fully integrates Securecomputingemailgateway (Ironmail) platform and Mcafeeemailandwebsecurity device platform to provide new advanced encryption capabilities , including the ability to push and pull data and to view mobile device encryption messages. Mcafeesaasemailprotection enhances DLP by adding file fingerprints.

Mcafeeservicesgateway (also available by purchasing Intel Intel®expresswayservicegateway) now supports IBMMQ and splunk for reporting and high-security security certification. With new policy controls, Mcafeeservicesgateway extends the security of the WSDL service and enhances support for the Salesforce.com Application Interface (APIS) and Security Declaration Markup Language (SAML) for identity information processing.

The mcafeewebgateway7.1.6 Edition provides enhancements that limit corporate responsibility and information disclosure risks, and can be used to enforce enterprise Web usage policies for increased security. The Mcafeewebgateway application control feature now makes full use of the MCAFEEAPPPRISMTM database to refine control over 1000 Web applications.

Mcafeecloudsecurityplatform enhancements improve integration with the Mcafeeepolicyorchestrator platform. Mcafeeservicesgateway can now be integrated with the Epolicyorchestrator platform to enable effective monitoring of web services and security events. With McAfeeEmailGateway7.0 's extended integration features, the Epolicyorchestrator software is fully configurable and can manage all data loss protection dictionaries.

Mcafeecloudsecurityplatform will debut on November 7, 2011 – 10th at the 9th Annual International Cloud Computing Fair, Santa Clara, California, USA. In addition, November 8, McAfee content and cloud Security chief technology Officer Scottchasin will publish a keynote address entitled "Identity-driven cloud security" (Identitydrivensecurityinthecloud).
