He announced that it has acquired from the "sandbox" technology that can identify the most sophisticated malware and complex to detect, in broadening its portfolio of anti-malware solutions and a further consolidation approach. McAfee also announced more than 30 enhancements to their solutions to counter cyber threats that will strengthen the company's position in the comprehensive malware protection.
The acquired technology provides advanced threat detection capabilities by executing suspected malware in a "", being thus able to understand the impact that a suspected malware sample may have on an endpoint. This new technology further strengthens the current anti-malware McAfee offer already recognized as one of the best in detecting attacks. Unlike other sandboxing solutions, this new technology, when integrated with other McAfee anti-malware products for networks or endpoint, is able to automatically block future attacks of the identified malware samples. In addition, it will provide the signature so that the already infected devices can automatically be restored by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (). McAfee expects to deliver the first product that integrates the new sandboxing technology in the second half of 2013. One of individual products based approach is not able toensure complete protection from malware. The only way to implement an effective response to the real onslaught of malware threats that have touched record figures close to 100,000 copies daily [i] is to adopt an integrated approach to security and holistic, end-to-end. Perfectly in line with this approach, over 30 enhancements to McAfee to its anti-malware products, include some of the following features: McAfee Network Security Platform - adds new threat detection and prevention technologies "signature-less", including depth analysis and a powerful anti-malware engine can detect the advanced malware on a wide range of protocols and file types. The solution also incorporates an intelligent prioritization of alerts that automatically assigns priorities to network events and improves the integration with McAfee ePO and McAfee Enterprise Security Manager, based on information inreal-time, which gives operators the view of the entire context of an attack, the exact moment in which it occurs. McAfee Web Protection - extends the emulation capabilities to identify advanced malware that changes dynamically in the browser to avoid being detected. The solution also integrates a new outbound detection technique that recognizes the bot infections that attempt to receive further malicious code. New reporting features include accessible reporting that helps to reduce vulnerability to attacks, simplifying the process of creating the solutions related to McAfee ePO. McAfee Email Protection - can be deployed on-premise, cloud away, and now integrating the two modes with a single management architecture, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, in addition to keeping malware out of the network. The solution also provides a filter for the "", that is all those unsolicited messages that fill the boxese-mail, which improves employee productivity. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager - integrates so active with ePolicy Orchestrator, Network Security Platform and McAfee Vulnerability Manager to automate quarantine, scanning, and making policy - turning information into actionable intelligent action. Real Time for McAfee ePO - recently announced, this new product allows you to make security decisions based on "what is" rather than "what was" interrogating and identifying within seconds each endpoint compromise within a company, to restore it. It is a system which greatly enhances situational awareness and reduces risk exposure and security costs. McAfee Deep Defender - provides protection against rootkits Master Boot Record (). Any driver attempts to write or read an MBR is monitored by Deep Defender, which operates beyond the operating system andIt is enabled by Intel's advanced hardware security. The solution prevents MBR rootkits to modify the master boot record in real time. "According to researchers at McAfee, 59% of enterprise security professionals believes he has been targeted by an advanced persistent threat (, advanced persistent threat)," said, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "To counter these threats requires an integrated approach that includes network, endpoint, threat intelligence and other security aspects".
