Centrally manage firewalls and generate reports; create rules and selectively apply anti-virus, IPS signatures, URL filtering, and more from a single screen; correlate firewall rules to users and applications to ease planning and troubleshooting. Integration with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) platform provides a holistic view of firewall health information and an understanding of desktop and server security posture.
Description:
Applications and network connectivity continue to grow at incredible rates, while attack techniques continue to advance in sophistication. To make matters worse, these attacks are coming from both inside and outside the network, and even through encrypted protocols.
McAfee Firewall Enterprise offers unprecedented levels of application control and threat protection. Advanced capabilities, such as application visualization, reputation-based global intelligence, automated threat feeds, encrypted traffic inspection, intrusion prevention, anti-virus, and content filtering, block attacks before they occur.
With its centralized firewall management and reporting, integration with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) platform, and user-friendly rule-creation capabilities, Firewall Enterprise is easily administered. Three additional products simplify management and help you quickly respond to your business requirements:
McAfee Firewall Profiler (included) instantly analyzes network traffic and firewall rules to provide insight into the effectiveness of your firewall configuration in enforcing your corporate security policy. Profiler dramatically reduces the time needed to solve firewall-related network or application outages from hours to minutes, turning substantial manual efforts into a few simple clicks.
McAfee Firewall Reporter (included) turns audit streams into actionable information. This award-winning security event management (SEM) tool delivers central monitoring plus correlated alerting and reporting to help meet all major regulatory requirements, including PCI DSS, GLBA, HIPAA, SOX, and FISMA.
McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center (sold separately) offers centralized enterprise-class firewall policy management for global-scale deployments.
