McAfee Network Security
McAfee, the global leader in network intrusion prevention systems (IPS), delivers unprecedented levels of security while offering flexible deployment options that allow organizations to optimize investments in network security. McAfee Network Security Platform provides category-best security effectiveness, scalable multigigabit performance, and next-generation network IPS controls that take the guesswork out of network security management.
With Network Security Platform you get a unified network security solution for physical and virtual environments that streamlines security operations and protects your business from the latest malware, zero-day attacks, botnets, denial-of-service attempts, and advanced targeted attacks. It enables you to take control of your network with predictive threat intelligence, application visibility and control, network behavior analysis, and real-time threat awareness.
McAfee Network Security Platform (IPS)
Uses detailed, up-to-date threat and vulnerability information to help reduce your time to resolve issues and protect your network.
In this independently-verified, best-in-class intrusion prevention system, multiple advanced detection methods—including application and protocol anomaly, signature, shell-code detection algorithms, next-generation denial-of-service (DoS), and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) detection—deliver real-time defenses against known, zero-day, botnet, Trojan, SYN flood, DoS, DDoS, and encrypted attacks. A purpose-built appliance incorporates the most detailed, up-to-date threat and vulnerability information to reduce your time to resolve issues and protect your networks.
- MEETS the needs of the most demanding environments—Reliable threat protection from 100 Mbps to beyond 10 Gbps; demonstrates network-class credentials with the NSS Labs 10-Gbps IPS certification
- expedites response with shared network and system visibility and continuous threat updates—Helps you diagnose and take action with on-demand visibility to critical host details, threats, and risk relevance
- Insulates systems from risk while you validate and deploy patches—Protects unmanaged and unpatched systems and network devices (routers, switches, printers, VoIP)
- Simplifies operation with fewer false positives and alarms—Reduces dramatically the IT resources required to manage intrusion prevention, as verified by an independent Forrester Research report.
McAfee Network Threat Behavior Analysis
Eliminates “dark corners” of the network with visibility and assessment of threats network-wide.
Today’s targeted attacks and advanced persistent threats travel under the radar as subtle, multi-stage events. McAfee Network Threat Behavior Analysis offers cost-effective, network-wide visibility so you can detect and block these attacks. It monitors and reports unusual network behavior by analyzing traffic from switches and routers.
- SUPPLEMENTS McAfee Network Security Platform—Use Network Threat Behavior Analysis to identify and characterize threats beyond the perimeter of IPS, correlating threats across the network under the common umbrella of McAfee management software
- Leverages existing infrastructure, including flow data—Analyzes L7 application data from McAfee Network Security Manager to deliver complete threat visibility on a real-time basis
- DRILLS down into complex, multivector attacks and blended threats—Identifies overall behavior of each network element and instantly abstracts the potential anomaly or attack type such as DDoS, botnet, or worm
McAfee Network Threat Response
Captures, deconstructs, and analizes malware specific to your network.
The increasing frequency and sophistication of targeted attacks require that security analysts quickly collect and deconstruct attacks in order to prevent future ones. Our out-of-band appliance automatically identifies malware targeting internal network vulnerabilities, and instantly captures and analyzes it to aid remediation. The McAfee Network Threat Response appliance sits inside your network and streamlines the forensic threat analysis process.
- Automates the threat response process—Captures, deconstructs, and analyzes your unique malware and guides users through analysis to better understand the malware, its attack vectors, and its payload
- Analyzes unknown threats and targeted attacks—Shows confirmed attacks to reduce the time spent sifting through thousands of alerts: all network traffic is labeled, encoded data is decoded, and powerful data coupling confirms exploited vulnerabilities
- Eases operational workloads—Helps security analysts “filter out the noise” and focus on new and abnormal activity, especially the events that are unique to their network environment
