The McAfee Risk Management Solution

Monday, July 19, 2010 at 12:54pm by Gary Davis

In a recent Technical Brief by Enterprise Strategy Group Principal Analyst Jon Oltsik titled, “Large Organizations are Way Behind on IT Risk Management,” he reflects in the abstract, “Without rapid IT risk management progress, many organizations remain sitting ducks for cybercrime, industrial espionage, or catastrophic denial of service attacks.” Read the entire brief on the McAfee Risk Management site.

Addressing this need head-on, McAfee today announced its Risk Management solution. The McAfee Risk Management solution is a first-of-its-kind offering that enables you to fully understand your risk posture across every meaningful sector of your IT environment including databases, Web applications, systems and networks. It combines real-time threat intelligence with global vulnerability scanning across your entire IT environment, and correlates that with security countermeasures already in place, to help you assess your highest priority risks. The Risk Management solution empowers you to focus your limited resources on best protecting company information and taking a more proactive approach to enterprise security.

Armed with this new visibility of risk posture, you now know precisely what is needed to optimize security and mitigate risk. Leveraging the information provided by the McAfee Risk Management solution allows you to prioritize your security efforts while eliminating the very manual and time-consuming process of correlating threats to critical systems resulting in improved operational efficiency and reduced cost. You can learn more about our Risk Management solution by going to: www.mcafee.com/riskmanagement

Key features of the three underpinning products that converge to deliver a holistic approach to managing risk via the McAfee Risk Management solution include:

McAfee Risk Advisor 2.5 – McAfee Risk Advisor is a risk management dashboard that proactively correlates threat, vulnerability and countermeasure information to pinpoint critical assets at risk. This unrivaled approach to managing risk is akin to the instrumentation available in a pilot’s cockpit – you have real-time information to make immediate risk decisions. With McAfee Risk Advisor you can see your overall protection status, threat level, and potential threat impact on assets or regulatory mandates to help you determine where to focus your security efforts. McAfee Risk Advisor 2.5 extends these core capabilities to include key functionality in enterprise risk scoring/trending and advanced patch optimization. Learn more at: www.mcafee.com/riskadvisor
McAfee Vulnerability Manager 7.0 – McAfee Vulnerability Manager sets the market standard for vulnerability assessments, canvassing all types of network and system configurations. It can scan non-stop or exactly when and where you need it, allowing you to automatically discover, assess, remediate, and report on all your assets. Highly adaptive and customizable, McAfee Vulnerability Manager delivers actionable information that can be immediately used to safeguard critical assets resulting in substantial cost savings and an optimal security posture. McAfee Vulnerability Manager 7.0 extends these core capabilities to include a comprehensive web application assessment module along with a “PCI ASV in a box” reporting capability. “PCI ASV in a box” combines all the content, reports and workflows to enable McAfee Vulnerability Manager users to use the product to be a fully self-contained PCI ASV. Learn more at: www.mcafee.com/vm
McAfee Vulnerability Manager for Databases – Extending the comprehensive scanning of McAfee Vulnerability Manager, this new product comes with more then 3,000 database vulnerability checks to deliver the most thorough vulnerability assessment and security-scanning capability in the market today.
