Network Data Protection

Understanding and protection of sensitive information resources across all points of the network

McAfee’s unique data protection guards privacy data and confidential assets more effectively by automating the capture and understanding of all the data within your organization: financial information, code, designs, and other sensitive intellectual property. The data and its history let you understand context as well as content. This knowledge helps you establish the most effective and least intrusive network security controls—without the cost and complexity often associated with behavioral and content-aware systems. You also have the detail you need for content-based forensics to speed investigations.

To drive down operational costs and gain process efficiency, McAfee automates the process of monitoring, reporting, investigation, and auditing. Whether you simply monitor and educate or actively enforce policies, you can speed your way to compliance.

Key Benefits

  • Accelerated protection with lower implementation costs—Automate capture of all data and its historical context to shorten time spent developing and tuning security policies, reduce false positives, and ensure policies are mapped directly to the business and its most critical issues
  • User education that improves compliance—Reduce accidental violations by notifying users when their activities violate policies or place intellectual property at risk; most companies see violation rates fall off quickly with simple alerts
  • Improved understanding of threats and risks—Uncover threats through active and passive analysis so you can gain critical insight into normal and anomalous data traffic, better evaluate threats and risk, and fine-tune policies to reduce risky behavior
  • Easy-to-install appliances—Avoid expensive consultants and long rollout times; our high-performance appliances are designed to plug into your network and integrate with your management infrastructure
  • Predefined rules simplify support for key regulations—Start learning fast with out-of-the-box rules that filter traffic for regulatory violations (PCI, HIPAA, etc.) and inappropriate content; easily customize rules as you learn
  • Automatic enforcement of policies—Encrypt, quarantine, bounce, or block transmissions to avoid leakage of sensitive data and confidential records and files
  • Reliable detection—Rely on fingerprinting and multi-protocol inspection to identify intellectual property and personally identifiable information and ensure that appropriate policies are enforced
  • Improved visibility into usage and compliance—Leverage advanced auditing, logging, reporting, and forensics for visibility into usage and proof of regulatory compliance
  • Reduced operational costs—Centralize policy definition and deployment and speed rollouts with our single-agent, single-console management infrastructure
