McAfee,
the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, today announced an extended
relationship with Oracle to deliver security incident and events
management (SIEM) performance capabilities in the cloud. With this
collaboration, the McAfee® Enterprise Security Manager (McAfee ESM)
technology running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will increase the rate
of data ingestion of events per second by more than 16 times. This
increase in performance enables security operations center teams to more
effectively and cost efficiently secure enterprise environments against
the ever-increasing volume and complexity of threats.
According to an ESG report,
four of the top five most cited security challenges facing
organizations were related to managing security infrastructure, while 93
percent of respondents to a McAfee survey believe
the complexity of threats they will face over the next 12 months will
increase. These findings highlight the need for organizations to be able
to process data faster and manage security systems more efficiently.
"The
volume of devices and data feeding into SIEM systems continues to grow,
making the challenge facing all enterprises to properly protect
themselves more demanding than ever," said Anand Ramanathan, Vice
President of Product Management at McAfee. "Together, the unique
attributes of McAfee ESM and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure help customers
build a security operations center that can ingest data or search and
scale correlation rules at speeds never before seen on volumes of data
sources."
"Enterprises
are accelerating their adoption of the cloud. With more
mission-critical workloads and data in the cloud, security is of
paramount importance," said Vinay Kumar, Vice President of Product
Management, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Oracle is excited to work with
a cybersecurity leader like McAfee to provide them with exceptional
performance in the cloud, beyond what could be achieved on-premises or
with other cloud providers. Oracle Cloud's superior performance and
flexible architecture are enabling McAfee to deliver enhanced security
features and a better customer experience."
Customer benefits include:
- Record breaking performance. McAfee
ESM on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will offer more than 16 times
increase in the rate of events ingested versus on-premises deployments,
designed to deliver up to 500,000 events per second across 600,000 data
sources.
- Decreased time of implementation from 30 to 45 days down to just three days in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
- Flexible architecture designed to meet customer usage and data demands regardless of current network topology.
- Scalability over time. With
ESM on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, customers are not dependent on the
capacity of their data center and instead can increase capacity and
compute power with a few clicks of the mouse.
- Cost efficiency. Customer can realize upwards of four times the cost savings over other leading cloud providers.
McAfee ESM on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is currently available on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace listing for vESM.
