Cloud Security

Exploit the cloud without exposing your data

Next Steps:

Overview

Cloud computing provides tremendous benefits to organizations of all sizes. For small and mid-sized businesses, cloud computing allows time-constrained IT teams to operate more efficiently. For large enterprises, the cloud provides the ability to scale up or down to respond quickly to changing market conditions. Businesses of all sizes can leverage the cloud to increase innovation and collaboration. Yet many organizations are hesitant to fully leverage the benefits of the cloud, citing concerns regarding data loss and unauthorized access, and are reluctant to rely on cloud providers to solve these challenges.

McAfee Cloud Security helps organizations safely and confidently leverage secure cloud computing services and solutions. Rather than adopting the unique — and sometimes unknown — security practices and policies of each cloud vendor, McAfee Cloud Security allows businesses to extend and apply their own access and security policies into the cloud by securing all the data traffic moving between the enterprise and the cloud, as well as data being stored in the cloud.
