New Update

McAfee announced the worldwide availability of McAfee SaaS Web Protection. The new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Web security solution combines the enterprise-grade reporting capabilities and features with the scalable, multi-tenant platform architecture that powered the MX Logic solution. The new Cloud-based service protects enterprises from malware and other Web-borne threats without any on-premise requirements. Like McAfee appliances and virtual Web protection solutions, McAfee SaaS Web Protection provides Web protection by leveraging the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence network. This network uses millions of threat sensors and more than 350 full-time security experts around the globe to provide customers with real-time — and even predictive — threat correlation and protection from malware, spam, Trojans and other Internet-borne threats.

Today's Web environment provides a vastly improved user experience and access to information due to the rapid adoption of Web 2.0 technologies.  However, as in other technological innovations before it, Web 2.0 technologies have also led to new vulnerabilities and new techniques for compromising corporate networks and data. 

Unfortunately, most organizations are not adequately protected and they are spending large sums of money recovering from attacks.  Industry-leading protection is mandatory for companies to continue to safely take advantage of Web 2.0 solutions.

In addition to the superior protection, McAfee SaaS Web Protection helps reduce upfront costs, as well as lowers ongoing maintenance and management costs. Furthermore, organizations with numerous locations or limited IT resources can quickly deploy the solution by simply redirecting Web traffic to a McAfee data center and allowing McAfee SaaS Web Protection to manage protection from start to finish. With no applications or hardware to install or deploy, the service provides organizations with immediate and reliable network protection.
