McAfee Focus 12: McAfee reveals new security management solution

25.10.2012
Security vendor, McAfee, has announced a new security management solution that aims to enhance enterprise security by offering intelligent, automated real-time asset monitoring.

The McAfee Vulnerability Manager includes McAfee Asset Manager to automatically discover and inspect assets as they connect to the network.

By providing real-time awareness of newly connected devices, McAfee Asset Manager alerts McAfee Vulnerability Manager to execute targeted vulnerability scans as soon as new or unknown devices connect to the network.

The announcement was made at its Focus 12 security conference in Las Vegas.

According to McAfee management systems senior vice-president and general manager, Ken Levine, the reason behind the creation of the solution is the enterprise IT facing a daunting challenge.

"By 2020, there will be more than 50 billion devices, and 20 per cent of devices that reside on networks are there without an organisation's knowledge," he said.
