McAfee Cloud Security Platform

The McAfee Cloud Security Platform can help users safely and efficiently use cloud computing by securing all content and data traffic moving between an organisation and the cloud. Integrated, modular solutions include web, mobile, email and web services security and cloud access control.

Web Security provides bidirectional protection for both incoming and outgoing web traffic through proactive reputation- and intent-based protection. Mobile Security - web traffic generated by smart phones and tablets is directed through the McAfee Web Gateway using standard device management, ensuring that mobile devices are secured with advanced antimalware protection and corporate web filtering policies. The Intel Expressway Cloud Access 360 helps enable an enterprise or cloud provider to provide comprehensive access control for cloud applications using enterprise identities. Email Security delivers total email protection, integrating comprehensive inbound threat protection with outbound data loss prevention. Web services security is provided by the Intel Expressway Service Gateway that offloads application-level API security, data transformation, REST to SOAP mediation, and identity token exchange, to a high-speed gateway at the network edge or in the cloud.

With the Data Loss Prevention solution, users can first understand where its data resides, classify that data in terms of importance or sensitivity, build policies to protect that data, and then enforce those policies while data travels within or outside the organisation to the cloud. Centralised management and reporting is also provided through integration with the company’s ePolicy Orchestrator platform.

The security modules can be deployed as an on-premises appliance, software-as-a-service solution or a hybrid combination of both. This provides organisations the flexibility and coverage to protect their headquarters, regional offices and even remote workers using mobile devices.
