McAfee, a security technology company, has revamped its security platform for the cloud which provides framework to enable organisations to extend their security and policy enforcement into the cloud by securing identity, Web and email.

The updates to the McAfee Cloud Security Platform focus on enhanced security for cloud-based interactions through continued integration between the products, context-based policy support and Web protection for mobile workers.

McAfee Cloud Security Platform in conjugation with McAfee Global Threat Intelligence provides real time protection and correlates data across all threat vectors – file, Web, email and network, thus protecting customers before attacks occur.

The new updates include integration with enhanced protection and simplified management; integrated data loss prevention (DLP) everywhere; new web reporting for McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform for greater visibility; hybrid Web protection deployment support; Web protection for mobile workers; and identity manager.

McAfee SVP & GM of Network Security Pat Calhoun said interest in cloud computing continues to grow – customers need to know that they can adopt the cloud and rely on the cloud for the majority of their enterprise communications – safely and securely.

"The McAfee Cloud Security Platform offers a comprehensive solution so organisations can confidently connect to the cloud," Calhoun said.
