McAfee Firewall Enterprise
McAfee Firewall Enterprise (formerly Secure Computing Sidewinder) appliances provide powerful centralised management and reporting tools to ease planning, troubleshooting, and configuration, while global reputation technology reduces up to 70 percent of unwanted traffic and blocks attacks before they occur.
Protecting networks against the evolving threat environment has never been more challenging. Networks and connectivity keep growing. And new threats combine into blended attacks that simultaneously exploit a variety of vulnerabilities. Worse yet, these attacks are coming from both outside and inside the network, and even through encrypted protocols.
McAfee firewall Enterprise offers unprecedented levels of threat protection. Advanced capabilities, such as reputation-based global intelligence, configurable application-level protection, encrypted traffic inspection, intrusion prevention, anti-virus, and content filtering, block attacks before they occur.
Yet even with all this functionality, firewall Enterprise is still easy to administer, with centralised firewall management and reporting and user-friendly rule-creation capabilities. Three additional products simplify management and help you respond more quickly to the needs of your business:
- McAfee firewall Profiler, sold separately, takes a feed from McAfee firewall Enterprise and instantly analyzes this information to provide visibility into how firewall rules interact with and impact the network. Profiler dramatically reduces the time needed to solve firewall-related network or application outages from hours to minutes, turning substantial manual efforts into a few simple clicks.
- McAfee firewall Reporter, included, turns audit streams into actionable information. This award-winning Security Event Management (SEM) tool delivers central monitoring plus correlated alerting and reporting to help meet all major regulatory requirements, including PCI DSS, GLBA, HIPAA, SOX, and FISMA.
- McAfee firewall Enterprise Control Center, sold separately, offers centralised firewall policy management for multiple firewall Enterprise appliances.
