Government Situational Awareness

A defense-in-depth strategy that protects networks from end to end

Next Steps:

Overview

To protect sensitive data, the government defense-in-depth approach secures each layer of the IT infrastructure. McAfee helps you meet all defense-in-depth requirements with a complete spectrum of industry-leading security products, plus Common Criteria certification and 24/7 Global Threat Intelligence from the security experts at McAfee Labs. Like many governments worldwide, you can rely on McAfee to protect your most sensitive data, simplify security management, and reduce management cost.

McAfee’s security experts also offer sound guidance before selecting your cloud computing providers, and supply a host of Security-as-a-Service (Security SaaS) solutions. In today’s world of tight budgets, overburdened IT staff, and increasing security threats, McAfee’s Security SaaS solutions allow government organizations to focus on securing critical assets rather than managing security installations, patches, and upgrades.

Key Benefits

  • Prove compliance quickly and easily with prescriptive frameworks
    Count on McAfee to help you adhere to government regulations and frameworks, such as the U.S. Department of Defense’s Host-Based Security System (HBSS), U.S. Army 25-2, and FISMA, with an always-up-to-date portfolio that supports a broad range of government frameworks worldwide.
  • Ensure safe use of applications and Web 2.0 technologies

  • Protect sensitive data wherever it travels
    Control and protect government data at rest and in motion with McAfee’s powerful encryption, authentication, and policy-driven security controls. Choose encrypted devices, transparent file and folder encryption, or application-level encryption to ensure compliance with regulatory and internal requirements.
  • Save time, trouble, and money with a single management platform
    Ease administrative burdens and reduce complexity from desktops to network edge, with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform, a web-based console that enables simplified and centralized management of your entire security system.
