McAfee Takes Human-Machine Teaming to Next Level, Transforming Security OperationsMcAfee (News - Alert), the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, today announced an expanded product portfolio that evolves security operations capabilities and allows for rapid response to today's most advanced cybersecurity threats. McAfee's updated Enterprise Security Manager (McAfee ESM 11) leverages a new data architecture optimized for scalability, performance, faster search, and collaboration. This new architecture combined with the newly launched McAfee Behavioral Analytics, and enhanced McAfee Investigator, McAfee Advanced Threat Defense, and McAfee Active Response, will help security operation teams optimize their security infrastructure, leverage automation, improve detection, streamline workflows, and ultimately harness the power of human-machine teaming to improve response time and overall security outcomes. "With companies struggling to keep up with the current threat landscape, the need for human-machine teaming has never been greater," said Jason Rolleston, vice president of security analytics, McAfee. "Given the difficulty in finding skilled resources, enterprises need advanced analytics- and machine learning-powered solutions to augment the people they have. By combining the strength and speed of these new solutions with the power of human intellect, security operations teams become faster, smarter, more effective, and more efficient." McAfee's enhanced security information and event management (SIEM) combined with advanced analytics will bring human-machine teaming to the next level by enabling security operations teams to more efficiently collect, enrich and share data. Then, the security operations teams can turn the security events into actionable insights that they can act on to confidently detect and correct sophisticated threats faster. Today's announcements also build upon McAfee's leadership position within security information and event management (SIEM) solutions. Gartner (News - Alert) named the company a Leader for the seventh consecutive year in the December 2017 "Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management."¹ Benefits from the updates and enhancements to McAfee ESM 11, McAfee Behavioral Analytics, McAfee Investigator and McAfee Active Response include: New McAfee ESM 11:
