14 DAY TRIAL // McAfee has launched a new end-to-end solution that’s designed to help organizations in defending their systems against sophisticated malware.
First, the malware is found with the new McAfee Advanced Threat Defense appliance, it’s “frozen” with McAfee network solutions, and the problem is fixed with McAfee Real Time. McAfee Advanced Threat Defense and McAfee Real Time are part of the company’s Security Connected framework.
“Advanced malware is a difficult problem facing organizations of all sizes,” stated Pat Calhoun, general manager of network security at McAfee.
“Detecting malware is only one piece of the whole solution. You also have to stop it from further infecting the network and remediate any infections. Difficult problems don’t require difficult solutions. McAfee combines superior threat detection with network and endpoint protection resulting in lower total cost of ownership for businesses.”
The McAfee Advanced Threat Defense is different from standalone sandboxing solutions because it makes detection more cost effective, efficient and accurate by layering full static code analysis on top of the advanced dynamic analysis engine.
McAfee Real Time is designed to identify the devices that require remediation and streamlines the response. It also enables automated investigation across endpoints to reduce the costs of the remediation.
“The gap between recognizing advanced attacks and remediating them with a high degree of confidence has remained wide,” noted John Grady, research manager for Security Products at IDC.
“With employees being more mobile and multi-device oriented than they've ever been, it is impossible to defend against all attacks with a single product. Integrated solutions that combine network and endpoint-level visibility and controls are the best way to combat targeted attacks and quickly enable remediation.”
Advanced Threat Defense and Real Time will become available in the fourth quarter of 2013.
