McAfee survey<\/a> discovered the most effective security operations centres (SOCs) are analytics driven, with proactive threat hunting and automated investigative workflows creating an ongoing progression towards increasingly advanced security management. Such effectiveness relies on the implementation of advanced analytics technologies, machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence, to curate and visualise threat data so security analysts can make sense of it in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen organisations are uncertain about the value or insights inherent in their data \u2013 or are confronted with new information they don’t know how to interpret \u2014 machine learning can help discover business value where they may not have been able to before,\u201d Carlton E Sapp, a Gartner Research Director, wrote in a January 2017 report. \u201cThe capability to transform data into actionable insight is the key to a competitive advantage for any organisation. But the ability to autonomously learn and evolve as new data is introduced \u2013 without explicitly programming to do so \u2013 is the holy grail of business intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n
McAfee\u2019s new product, McAfee Investigator, utilises both machine learning and artificial intelligence to increase accuracy and confidence of investigations by automating data collection and empowering security analysts of varied experience to fully assess threats in less time.<\/p>\n
New McAfee Investigator benefits include:<\/p>\n
\u2022\tAccurate threat prioritisation: McAfee Investigator allows analysts to focus on the most significant threats by using advanced analytics to automatically collect, piece together and visually present suspected attack intelligence.
\n\u2022\tFast and thorough malware investigations: Machine learning and artificial intelligence within McAfee Investigator continually learn evolving tactics, techniques and procedures to help analysts determine the right questions and explorations to yield efficient and accurate case closure.
\n\u2022\tIncreased SOC efficiency: McAfee Investigator coaches analysts into implementing advanced thought processes and increases productivity with easy case content sharing.<\/p>\n
Multi-layer endpoint protection<\/strong><\/p>\nThreats continue to grow consistently in both number and complexity given new attack vectors, tactics and actors. To help organisations stay ahead of even the most advanced cyberattacks, McAfee has evolved its endpoint solutions to include even more complex analytics, arming security teams with the data needed to thwart an attack.<\/p>\n
New McAfee endpoint capabilities include:<\/p>\n
\u2022\tDecision making with deep learning: McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) uses many layers of mathematical neurons, much like the human brain, to assist with decision making and ascertain potential threats.
\n\u2022\tPre- and post-execution machine learning: McAfee endpoint machine learning reviews files both before and after they execute, gaining knowledge with new data and increasing protection against never-before-seen threats.
\n\u2022\tMachine learning with reach: Industry analysts note that many advanced analytics solutions require significant data to build and train models. Globally, 300 million sensors serve as a source to inform algorithms, providing a vast data set for McAfee analytics technologies to learn from.

\nEnhanced security for hybrid cloud<\/strong><\/p>\nLeading industry analysts expect hybrid cloud workloads to quickly become the predominant enterprise service architecture. With the benefits of this model, however, come new visibility, management and security challenges for organisations to contend with. The new McAfee Cloud Workload Security (CWS) addresses these issues, allowing organisations to eliminate blind spots with automation, secure critical workloads without slowing performance and simplify management with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) console. <\/p>\n
As organisations look to transition from on-premise to the cloud, one key requirement to both ease and enable this transition is support for hybrid architectures with consistent security across the different deployment models. To help support customers as they shift, McAfee has expanded its portfolio of technology built to run in the public cloud, enabling additional protection and advanced detection without a hardware footprint. McAfee Web Gateway will now be available to run on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and McAfee\u2019s Advanced Threat Defense (ATD) sandboxing technology will run on Microsoft Azure. \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
