McAfee has announced the McAfee Cloud Security Platform, an innovative new approach to helping organizations safely and efficiently take advantage of Cloud computing. The new platform achieves this by securing all content and data traffic – including email, web and identity traffic – moving between an organization and the Cloud.
One Platform, Multiple Security Modules
The McAfee Cloud Security Platform delivers security through highly integrated, modular solutions that protect both inbound and outbound traffic moving between the enterprise and the public cloud. Today, the platform offers the following modules:
On-premises, SaaS or Hybrid
The security modules can be deployed as an on-premises appliance, Software-as-a-Service solution or a hybrid combination of both. This provides organizations the flexibility and coverage to protect their headquarters, regional offices and even remote workers using mobile devices.
Open API and Additional Security Modules
Using the platform’s built-in Application Programming Interface (API), McAfee aims to deploy additional security modules in the coming months to provide even greater and deeper Cloud protection. This may include a variety of solutions, such as tools that can provide greater granular control over popular social media sites. |
