Change control processes are often reactive and require manual responses, an ineffective approach to combating today’s threats and handling the growing number of devices in the IT infrastructure. The Security Connected approach from McAfee ensures that every desktop, server, application, network device, and database is in the scope of a change control solution, giving you critical visibility into who is using your systems and what activities are taking place.Counter Stealth Attacks
The most menacing type of cyberattack is invisible. Using sophisticated techniques to hide its presence, a stealth attack may operate outside of the OS or move dynamically across endpoints to conceal the attackers’ actions. The risk to enterprises is real, with high-profile attacks such as Operation High Roller impacting companies around the globe. Traditional antivirus or intrusion prevention systems are no match for this new breed of attack; instead, enterprises need layered security controls that work together to detect the presence and actions of stealthy malware and attackers.Enable Consumerization of the Workforce
A flood of iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and employee-owned laptops is hitting the workplace, bringing better productivity but also new security risks. Learn how businesses can effectively and securely enable the use of consumer-owned devices in the enterprise by protecting how data is being manipulated and controlling network access across mobile devices, laptops, desktops, and virtual desktops.Manage Risk and Security
Limit your exposure to security risks that reveal customer data and internal assets. This solution guide addresses the importance of implementing a strategic security and risk management program focused on prevention and protection — helping you reduce incidents and risks throughout your entire IT infrastructure.Neutralize Advanced Malware
No individual product can catch all malware, but a system of systems can provide full coverage and minimize the damage and cleanup costs. Comprehensive malware protection starts with advanced, real-time detection at each entry point, reinforced by other controls and overseen by real-time monitoring. Behind inline, automated systems, dynamic analysis offline should investigate any unusual code. By taking this systematic approach, you can implement the best protection against opportunistic and targeted malware.Obtain Benefit from PCI
McAfee helps enterprises take a formal, strategic approach to meeting PCI DSS requirements — an implementation that can yield other cost saving and operational benefits to the business. McAfee compliance solutions automatically assess compliance status, proactively respond to any issues or potential violations, and continuously monitor controls across the enterprise.Protect Critical Infrastructure
Securing critical infrastructure requires protecting multiple zones, including enterprise IT, SCADA, and industrial control systems (ICS), to meet compliance regulations and ensure continuous system availability. The Security Connected framework from McAfee enables you to establish a robust security posture with integrated solutions that protect endpoint, network, and data across IT, SCADA, and ICS — without impacting system availability.Protect Information
Your company’s sensitive information, including intellectual property, financial records, and personal information about employees and customers, is an attractive target for cybercriminals. The Security Connected approach from McAfee helps you secure sensitive information on databases, file servers, smartphones, email servers, and USB drives — while keeping it accessible to multiple users and groups.Protect Information from Insider Threats
Don’t overlook the threats to your data and network from company insiders. To address these risks, McAfee provides a new level of visibility into your organization with security controls that work together across endpoints, networks, and data to improve incident detection, protection, and response capabilities.Protect the Data Center
Safeguard the operational backbone of your organization. The Security Connected approach from McAfee protects data centers with solutions that are agile enough to defend against new threats and targeted attacks, support virtualized and cloud services, and generate reports to demonstrate compliance — while minimizing downtime.Securely Enable Social Media
Social media platforms can extend your company’s reach into new markets, with tools that are easy and flexible to use. But these new avenues can also expose your company and brand to data loss and malware. With the Security Connected framework from McAfee, you can safely embrace social media activities while mitigating risk, ensuring that you can monitor and better control how sensitive information is shared online.Secure Fixed-Function Devices
Fixed-function devices like ATMs, medical equipment, industrial control systems, multifunction printers, automotive and aeronautical systems, and point-of-sale systems such as cash registers, have their own innate security challenges and face many of the same threats that target your desktops, laptops, and networks. McAfee protects fixed-function devices from threats, including zero-day attacks and other forms of malware, helping enterprises prevent system downtime, control costs, and ultimately extend the life of devices.Secure Mobile Devices
The work and personal lives of your employees are converging on mobile devices. A single employee-owned smartphone or tablet can hold corporate email, critical business tools, and your company’s intellectual property, in addition to employee’s personal data. McAfee solutions help you address the latest security challenges from mobile devices, including how to manage lost and stolen devices, stop data loss, block unauthorized mobile access to your corporate network, and safely enable access to the latest business apps.
