McAfee Inc has announced the release of its next generation firewall, McAfee Firewall Enterprise version 8.
By integrating with McAfee’s real-time, cloud-based global threat intelligence, McAfee Firewall Enterprise and McAfee Firewall Enterprise Profiler provide increased visibility into external and internal threats and vulnerabilities, protecting customers more efficiently and reducing both compliance and operational costs.
“The release of our next generation firewall is intended to disrupt a stagnant firewall market that has failed to keep pace with the threat landscape. Last generation firewalls don’t effectively enforce relevant business policies and are simply too hard and expensive to manage,” said Dan Ryan, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Network Security Business, McAfee. “With this release, we’re delivering next generation firewall capabilities that improve network security while lowering compliance and operational costs.”
