Dubai,
United Arab Emirates—October 19,
2014:
Today McAfee, part of Intel
Security, announced the latest release of McAfee Next Generation Firewall,
which now seamlessly integrates with several key McAfee solutions and
technologies, offering businesses and government agencies an ever-expanding
ecosystem of threat defenses. Important
new integrations with the McAfee Security Connected framework provide McAfee Next Generation Firewall
customers with layered protection against the latest threats and evasions,
along with improved workflows and operational efficiencies.
Utilizing actionable endpoint
information from McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, McAfee Next Generation Firewall customers
will now see operational efficiency benefits with valuable insights into
endpoint security postures and simplified administrative workflows when
investigating incidents. Integration
with McAfee Enterprise Security Manager improves security posture, reduces
event response times, and enables continuous monitoring and alerting of
compliance status. McAfee Advanced
Threat Defense integration provides real time protection against rapidly
mutating malware and zero-day attacks. And
lastly, reputation intelligence from McAfee Global Threat Intelligence enables
McAfee Next Generation Firewall to provide superior protection against globally
active advanced threats and malware.
“In today’s escalating cyber
threat landscape, businesses and organizations worldwide and in the Middle East
region demand fully resilient network security solutions. This release of
McAfee’s Next Generation Firewall offers the superior protection of the
‘connected’ or ‘intelligence aware’ firewall that easily adapts to security
needs providing the best protection for businesses and their digital assets,”
said Hamed Diab, McAfee’s regional director in the Middle East and North
Africa.
McAfee
Next Generation Firewall protects enterprise networks with high-performance
“intelligence aware” security supported by real-time updates from McAfee’s
Security Connected ecosystem. This enables McAfee to deliver a leading-edge defense against advanced evasions, along with complete next
generation firewall protections “when and where you need it” - remote sites,
branch offices, data centers and the network edge.
McAfee
Next Generation Firewall starts with a solid foundation of protections
including granular application control, intrusion prevention system, built-in
virtual private network and deep packet inspection – all in an efficient,
extensible and highly scalable unified design. Then McAfee adds powerful
anti-evasion technologies that decode and normalize network traffic - before
inspection and across all protocol layers - in order to expose and block the
most advanced attack methods.
