McAfee has announced its network safety framework which integrates superior network intrusion prevention with vital next-generation controls. The solution addresses a need to have for protection equipment to avoid more and more refined attacks, with adequate intelligence and automation to take the guesswork from attack prevention and resolution.

The network security framework contains important enhancements towards the McAfee Network Protection Platform, which includes application visibility and integrated threat-context, aligning it with Gartner’s requirements for next-generation network IPS in its report, “Defining Next-Generation Network Intrusion Prevention”. In accordance with the report, “Threats are focusing on putting in specific malicious executables onto user PCs, which use superior methods to stay away from detection and use botnet delivery mechanisms to perform multistage assaults. Basically stopping attacks which are looking for unpatched servers is no more time sufficient within this environment. which use sophisticated techniques to prevent detection and use botnet delivery mechanisms to perform multistage assaults. Merely stopping assaults which are searching for unpatched servers is not any extended adequate in this particular setting.”

Greg Young. Gartner Analysis mentioned, “Gartner uses the expression ‘next-generation network IPS’ to show the essential evolution of network IPS to cope with modifications in network communications and apps and changes in the threat landscape. Like a minimal, a next-gen IPS may have normal first-generation IPS capabilities as well as software awareness, context consciousness, content material consciousness specifically offering full stack inspection.”

The McAfee network safety framework contains the next elements: Superior Network IPS; Application awareness and control; Predictive threat intelligence; Context-aware protection; and Content evaluation.

Steve Shillingford, President & CEO, Solera Networks said, “To fully understand and eradicate specific assaults, you need full visibility of all network traffic, its source and scope, and whether it occurred days, weeks, or months in the past. McAfee Network Security Platform’s integration with Solera’s DeepSee apps delivers a seamless workflow to safety analysts taking you from an alert to irrefutable evidence of the attack, breach or risk, dramatically reducing the time it takes to pinpoint compromises.”

By incorporating software visibility, external reputation data, behavior-based risk analysis and state-of-the-art malware detection workflows into a single remedy, McAfee network security framework delivers next-generation network IPS that allow organizations to streamline safety operations while dramatically reducing exposure to new attack types.
