McAfee Web Gateway of the Advanced Threat Defence Analysis 

 

Advanced Threat Defence Analysis for Web Gateway

What are the Key Advantages?

■ After the Web Gateway analysis of McAfee, files that are suspicious are 

sent automatically to the McAfee Advanced Threat Defence for the best possible threat

detection capabilities.

■ There is the addition of a deep static code analysis to the web security, and will not be an

increase in the gateway workloads.

■ The threat blocking of Plug and play immediately does its work, without any delay

for intervention from any human.

■ A single sandbox service that is centralized, works simultaneously and supports other networks and security systems.

■ Prevent patient zero by withholding

files from users during analysis.

■ The results from the analysis are automatically sent in the McAfee Web

Gateway workflows.

■ There are plenty of options for deployment that supports every network irrespective of the physical and virtual.

 

The content sharing sites such as the social networks, cloud applications, blogs, and others

have become a very important business tool for the enterprise users and it has been quite a struggle for the IT organizations to make them safe from accessibility both in inside and outside the corporate forum. The secure web is a solution for the gateway for the traffic inspection that scans the web traffic of inbound and outbound, find and block the hidden threats. However, the cybercriminals are trying their best in exploiting the growing amount of web traffic enterprise. The attacks are costlier, more intelligent, and more targeted. The attacks are said to get away with the defences of the conventional gateway.

An Integrated Web Gateway and Sandbox Solution that has been tightly knit. McAfee comes with a combination of a tightly integrated solution of:

McAfee Web Protection. 

Gateway and Web Gateway Cloud Service

Advanced threat analysis solutions 

Advanced Threat Defence 

McAfee Cloud Threat

Options for Flexible deployment for both advanced threat analysis solutions and McAfee. Web Gateway supports every network irrespective of being physical, virtual, or cloud. McAfee Web Gateway comes with an inspection that is in-band traffic and threat blocking with the help of a set of detection technologies for malware, that is optimized in real time. McAfee advanced threat analysis solutions improve the detection with advanced inspection techniques for malware, it includes a deep static code analysis traffic and machine learning or improving the capabilities of sandboxing and increasing the detection of highly evasive threats.

Tight integration helps in reducing the time from encounters and for protection from advanced threats, it comes with efficient alert management and maintains the policy enforcement. McAfee advanced analysis solutions combined with the capabilities of scanning of the Gateway Engine for malware in McAfee Web Gateway give the best protection solution for internet threats. For a complete solution, add for the McAfee Protection, McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange and McAfee Active Response for optimizing the security operations efficiency with the right action, like implementing new policies, removal of files, and software updates deployment that can mitigate risks. 

 

The integration of this solution provides advantages that are operational and defensive and are unique, and they include:

■ The threat blocking of Plug and play: Attacks found by the advanced analysis solutions of McAfee are blocked automatically by the McAfee Web Gateway, without any delay for intervention from any human.

■ A single sandbox service that is centralized, works simultaneously and supports other networks and the security systems. This is done to prevent intrusion from systems to end. This brings down the costs, makes the security architecture simplified, and shortens the time of response from a new attack detection.

■ An inspection process that is hyper efficient: McAfee Web Gateway appliances do filtering initially and analysis of malware and only the content that is not getting passed or convicted will be routed by gateway analytics to the sandbox. 

Integration of the Report and workflow: Analysis results produced by the McAfee advanced analysis solutions are integrated 

automatically in the McAfee Web Gateway flow of work, and provided the users, feedback and results.

■ Web only deployments

− Single management of console Cloud: The cloud-based management platform of McAfee provides an individual pane of glass for the web gateway and the advanced analysis of both.

− The backhauling traffic to be avoided: You can cut down the network costs by taking the public internet traffic to the cloud directly for the policy enforcement and for analysis, instead of backhauling to a central area.

 

McAfee Web Gateway

McAfee Web Gateway has given an organization’s key defense line from evolving the threats from the web. It helps an organization in providing flexible, user access based on their policies to the resources and the web applications, while sufficiently decreasing the risk of internal systems and information.

McAfee Web Gateway is a proxy area that forces the internal access policy first on all the web requests initiated by the users and then uses a list of techniques for local and global inspection for determining the nature and feel of all the content of web traffic in real time. Detection analytics consists of signature-based antivirus and a load of reputation (like the file and source), geo location intelligence and the categorization as given by the McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (McAfee GTI). Lastly, McAfee Web Gateway uses a proactive approach for quick malware prevention that takes help from machine learning intelligence for predicting and learning the behaviour of files and (HTML, JavaScript). The SSL-encrypted content too is inspected for attacks that are concealed. The result is a high catch rate and immediate blocking that stops the attacks at the gateway.

It has been verified by the independent testing that McAfee Web Gateway searches and blocks bout 95% and 99% of the zero-day malware. McAfee Web Gateway also protects the outbound traffic by getting the user generated content scanned in all the key web protocols ( such as HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP) for preventing the theft of confidential information by the amateur user error or by the action of an infected host by bot. Integrated support for data loss prevention (DLP) policies blocks the sensitive data to exfiltrate, and the application controls slow the risk mitigation for file sharing in the cloud, and collaboration sites, like Dropbox, and others.
