McAfee
today announced a new version of its data center security
solution that addresses enterprises' growing need to leverage the
scalability and cost savings of running workloads in public clouds
like Amazon Web Services. When enterprises move workloads to a
public cloud, they want to know their data is protected.
The McAfee Data Center Security Suite
for Server provides complete visibility to all workloads in
hybrid data centers so enterprises can securely expand into any
cloud environment. This added flexibility gives organizations
elastic security that is auto-deployed when new virtual devices are
provisioned either on-premise or in the public cloud.
The new McAfee Data Center Security Suite for Server allows organizations to:
- Discover
all workloads including those from VMware's vCenter and Amazon
Web Services to provide the security administrator with complete
visibility of the security status.
- Protect
every physical and virtual machine in the hybrid data center
with fine-grained policy management and data center trust
attestation with ease-of-use manageability with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator.
- Expand
compute capacity securely into the private and public cloud and
ensure identical security posture between on-premise and
cloud-based machines.
McAfee Data Center
security optimizes security, flexibility and manageability of
virtual environments with its MOVE AV functionality, finally
providing a simplified security solution for companies investing
in virtualization for data centers, applications and desktops.
"The
McAfee MOVE AntiVirus solution has provided us with an excellent
resolution for our complex IT infrastructure which contains dozens of
assorted operating systems in use," said Rick Snyder, Endpoint
Security Manager at Boston Scientific. "Our organization handles
sensitive data from customers, vendors, business partners and our
own internal activities. Maximizing performance, while continuing
protection across multiple internal entities, is a high priority
for our IT department, as is providing reporting on its
effectiveness. McAfee MOVE has been integral in achieving these
simultaneous goals by giving us the ability to offload all
scanning of data into a gateway virtual appliance. This
streamlined and efficient approach saves resources and maintains our
security posture."
Customers now have complete visibility
to all workloads on-premise and in the cloud, which then enables
them to secure all important workloads. With the ability to expand
their compute resources into the public cloud while also securing
these workloads, customers can now maintain their security
posture even in the public cloud.
"Enterprises must stay
compliant and meet government regulations and that is a typical
barrier for organizations who want to move workloads into the
cloud," said Rishi Bhargava, vice president of data center
security at McAfee. "With McAfee's latest Data Center Server Security
Suite and its elastic security, enterprises are now empowered to do
just that. McAfee provides comprehensive security from servers to
networking to storage."
