McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that delivers actionable intelligence and integrations to prioritize, investigate, and respond to threats.
Your SIEM foundation
McAfee Enterprise Security Manager provides continuous visibility into threats and risk, actionable analysis to guide triage and speed investigations, and orchestration of security remediation.
Advanced threat intelligence
Prioritized alerts surface potential threats before they occur while analyzing data for patterns that may indicate a larger threat.
Embedded compliance framework
Built-in security use case content packs simplify analyst and compliance operations.
Dozens of partner integrations
An extensible and distributed design integrates with more than three dozen partners, hundreds of standardized data sources, and industry threat intelligence.
Shorten mean time to detect advanced threats
Put yourself in the place of a security analyst to investigate and respond to a data exfiltration incident using advanced analytics and dynamic investigation guides.
Enabling fast, risk-based decisions
Context and content awareness
Leverage contextual information, such as vendor threat feeds and indicators of compromise (IOCs), for a better understanding of how security events can impact real business processes.
Critical facts in minutes, not hours
Highly tuned appliances collect, process, and correlate log events from multiple years with other data streams, including STIX-based threat intelligence feeds. Store billions of events and flows, and quickly access long-term event data storage to investigate attacks.
Optimized security operations
An analyst-centric user experience offers increased flexibility, customization, and faster response to investigations. Analysts with any level of experience, from beginner to expert, will find it easier to prioritize, investigate, and respond to evolving threats.
