Overview
Organizations tasked with running critical infrastructure such as oil and gas, energy, water, and chemical must do so across three disparate yet interconnected zones: enterprise IT, SCADA, and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Where gaps once existed between these zones and communication was conducted along serial connections on proprietary systems, today’s environments are more interconnected than ever, leveraging the older frameworks plus expanded communication channels across IP, wireless, and mobile, and running common operating systems and applications. This has created greater efficiencies and effectiveness in terms of overall operations and measurement, but it has also introduced risk.
To address the risk, multiple products must operate together without introducing complexity or impacting availability. By working with our customers and partners, we have defined four areas that are required for a successful security strategy:
- Situational awareness gives customers visibility into security and operations across enterprise IT, SCADA, and ICS zones.
- Multi-zone protection allows discovery, prevention, detection, response, audit, and management across data, network, and endpoint within enterprise IT, SCADA, and ICS zones.
- Native support means that McAfee customers have the broadest range of out-of-the-box support for traditional IT solutions, as well as SCADA and ICS applications and protocols for truly holistic security.
- Continuous compliance helps easily demonstrate adherence to multiple regulatory mandates.
McAfee solutions provide resilience, efficient compliance measures, and instant intelligence for changing threat environments, along with the power of real-time visibility and centralized management through a single platform.
