McAfee has announced several new capabilities to its McAfee Network Security Platform, including a scalable 80 Gbps IPS solution that has been validated at over twice the performance capability of other high capacity network IPS solutions available. In this new offering, McAfee offers advanced threat protection across physical, virtual and cloud environments and addresses the needs of private clouds in the data center, Telco core networks and service providers networks.
Vikram Phatak, CTO, NSS Labs said, "As organizations increase the capacity of their networks, we have seen an increase in the need for high throughput
security solutions. At NSS Labs we go to great lengths to determine the maximum performance a device can maintain under real world conditions without degrading protection. We put the McAfee Network Security Platform XC Cluster through our full network IPS test rigor and it successfully passed over 72 Gbps of inspected traffic while maintaining an overall protection rating of 95%.”
