McAfee Rolls Out Plans For Next-Gen DLP Soln

McAfee has announced plans for the latest version of its data loss prevention solution that addresses growing concerns about the security of regulated data and sensitive information. McAfee Data Loss Prevention technology is planned to include a common policy across all components, database crawling, easier workflow through the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform and improved support for Microsoft Active Directory.

McAfee Data Loss Prevention Technology Differentiators:

* Ease of Deployment – Deployment can occur within days as opposed to the typical six to nine month period, allowing organisations to immediately test policies against corporate data and achieve faster time-to-value.

* Management – Users have an easy workflow to manage data incidents from ePolicy Orchestrator platform, a single console which supports case management, configuration, reporting, and monitoring while providing historic data-use insight, that can be centralised or delegated to best suit specific user requirements.

* Integration – Tight integration between McAfee Data Loss Prevention technology and the rest of the McAfee data protection portfolio allows for automated responses to threats in a co-ordinated way. Integration with rights management technologies including Adobe and Oracle allows the protection of sensitive data to extend beyond the boundaries of the enterprise.

* Proactive – Advanced data analytics gives customers understanding about how their data is used allowing them to better anticipate problems that would otherwise go undiscovered.
