McAfee has announced a comprehensive database security solution that protects business-critical databases without impacting performance and availability.  McAfee’s coordinated approach, based on the Security Connected initiative launched in October 2010, involves protecting a company’s most important data assets from network to server to the database itself. 

This approach means the data is protected in every state (data in motion, data at rest, and data in use) via access controls, network security, server security, data protection and encryption - all centrally managed to minimize risk and maximize efficiency.

 “Data is the lifeblood of every organization. Any loss, interruption, or breach could mean disaster,” said Stuart McClure, senior vice president and general manager, Risk and Compliance,  McAfee.  “McAfee is committed to providing our customers with best-in-class database security solutions.  We designed a comprehensive security solution to protect even the most dynamic of database environments.  Our commitment is made more evident by today’s announcement of our pending acquisition of Sentrigo, a leading provider of database security, monitoring and intrusion prevention solutions.”
