Intel Security has outlined a new, unifying approach for the cybersecurity industry that strives to eliminate fragmentation through updated integrated solutions, new cross-industry partnerships and product integrations within the Intel Security Innovation Alliance and Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA).
“Transforming isolated technologies into a cohesive security system is, without doubt, the most daunting challenge facing practitioners today,” said Chris Young, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Intel Security Group. “The battle against our adversaries cannot be fought alone. It will take people, products, organizations and industries working together to eliminate the fragmentation of security through automation, partnerships and unified architectures.”
Intel Security has announced new and updated solutions that do exactly that: McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) 10 and McAfee Virtual Network Security Platform (vNSP).
The newly released McAfee ESM 10 joins an expanded McAfee Foundstone security operations center (SOC) services portfolio to help security analysts to be far more effective.
McAfee vNSP is an industry-leading solution that protects AWS workloads from attacks like zero-day, bots, malware and application-level DOS with both detection and protection mode. It integrates seamlessly with AWS Auto Scaling to deliver a fully scalable security solution with a single pane of glass. vNSP continues to add support for multi-hypervisor platforms, which now includes VMware ESX, VMware NSX and OpenStack cloud with its best-of-breed next-generation IPS. Security Operations can now manage their public and private cloud security from a single network security management console giving them full visibility. New integration with McAfee Cloud Threat Detection allows McAfee Network Security Platform (NSP) to easily and efficiently augment existing inspection capabilities with sophisticated cloud-based malware analysis.
New open-source connectors for McAfeeThreat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) and McAfee Active Response (MAR) let applications easily use these tools to search endpoints and query and set file reputations, simplifying the process of querying endpoints within the enterprise environment to just 20 lines of code.
Responding to customer demand, Intel Security has expedited availability of the OpenDXL Python client, which is now available for organizations to download, develop and deploy with confidence.
New OpenDXL connectors for McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform APIs enable easy, fast options to apply policies, tag systems, move groups and trigger actions within the industry-leading security platform. The new capabilities open up the most frequently used capabilities of the McAfee ePO platform web APIs, and permit more applications to leverage centralized and efficient management with a lightweight integration process.
Intel Security has also announced that it is now sharing and consuming advanced threat intelligence through the Cyber Threat Alliance Platform (CTAP) and that it has a plan to further integrate CTAP with its products. CTAP is a platform that scores and shares threat intelligence among members of the Cyber Threat Alliance. Shared CTAP Indicators of Compromise help Intel Security and other CTA members detect and better understand new, emerging attack campaigns. This allows CTA members to more quickly protect their customers’ systems.
