McAfee has unveiled endpoint detection and response (EDR) and cloud offerings for its MVISION security portfolio. The company announced the new offerings at its MPOWER Americas Cybersecurity Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada.
MVISION Cloud provides data protection across software-as-a-service (SaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solutions, McAfee said. It enables organizations to secure both sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud services and detect and prevent cyberattacks.
Comparatively, MVISION EDR leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to help security analysts identify and address cyber threats, McAfee indicated. It uses advanced analytics to review and prioritize suspicious behavior from endpoint data and helps guide and automate security investigations and accelerate incident response.
What Is MVISION?
The MVISION portfolio provides security analysts with consolidated management, back-end automation and threat intelligence capabilities, McAfee noted. In addition to MIVISION Cloud and EDR, the MVISION portfolio includes the following offerings:
- Endpoint: Provides unified management and automated workflow control for Windows.
- ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO): Enables security analysts to manage McAfee products and solutions and leverage security controls built in operating systems like Windows Defender without on-premises infrastructure.
- Mobile: Helps protect an organization's employees and their mobile devices against cyberattacks.
MVISION Cloud, Endpoint, ePO and Mobile are currently available, and MVISION EDR is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2019.
