Security Secure server workloads with low performance impact and integrated management efficiency. Suppose you had to choose between securing all the servers in your data center physical and virtual or optimizing their performance? Choose security, and you help ensure high availability for your IT services, safety for your data, and a gold star on your next compliance audit. Choose performance, and you might lock in a higher return on your hardware and software investments, not to mention a thumbs-up from your CFO. Security or performance which will it be? What if you no longer had to choose but instead could have both? At the Intersection of Security and Performance In fact, the rapid virtualization of data center environments has forced many CIOs to make exactly this decision. When faced with the high processing overhead that conventional physical server security controls impose on virtual systems or the high administrative overhead of multiple point solutions with no central management interface, many have simply turned off their endpoint security tools and pinned all of their hopes on their perimeter defenses. Complex Requirements of Contemporary Server Security Leaving mission-critical servers with no onboard security is an obvious invitation to disaster, but the simple truth is that most of the available security technologies were developed to protect dedicated physical systems. They have not kept pace with virtualization and do not meet the needs of today s mixed data center environments. There is now an urgent need for server security solutions that: Support the unique and varied security demands of all core data center workloads, including database, web, application, email, collaboration, and storage servers. A recent paper by the SANS Institute 1 points out that comprehensive server security requires the deployment of various technologies to securely provision servers, manage vulnerabilities over time, protect access to information, rapidly identify threats as they appear, and improve network security operations. Don t compete with business services for CPU capacity. Conventional security solutions commonly consume significant available computing resources, largely due to overdependence on signature-based blacklisting technologies that must constantly scan and re-scan the entire system image to detect threats. Key Advantages Optimize security. Minimize performance impact. Essentials and Advanced eliminate the trade-offs between server security and performance in today s virtualized data centers. Each suite combines blacklisting and virtualization support technologies to provide comprehensive security for key workloads on physical and virtual servers with total CPU processing over head of 5% or less. Security Suite Advanced provides additional protection such as whitelisting and change control. All suites support centralized management through McAfee epo software. Available suites include: Security Suite Essentials. Security Suite Advanced. McAfee for VDI. McAfee Data Center for Databases.
Provide optimized support for all major virtualization environments. Deliver single-console management of all security controls across the entire server environment physical and virtual. s To meet these requirements and ensure the security of today s highly virtualized data centers, McAfee offers a portfolio of server security suites designed to precisely meet the needs of specific workloads on Microsoft Windows and Linux servers. For the best possible server protection, the Advanced combines whitelisting technologies, such as application control, with signature-based blacklisting technologies, such as antivirus and host-based intrusion prevention: this integrated control suite shields freshly scanned systems from malware penetration by allowing only authorized application code to execute. This greatly reduces signature scanning frequency and limits processing overhead to a minimum a significant advantage to an enterprise. The unique combination of whitelisting, blacklisting, and virtualization support enables a previously unattainable optimization of data center operations by maximizing security for both physical and virtual servers with minimal impact on server performance. All components of every suite are tightly integrated with the McAfee epolicy Orchestrator (McAfee epo ) management platform for efficient centralized risk assessment, security management, and incident resolution. McAfee Data Center for Databases combines global database discovery and vulnerability assessment with non-intrusive, real-time activity monitoring across all threat vectors. Component controls include: McAfee Database Activity Monitoring McAfee Vulnerability Manager for Databases Essentials provides a complete set of blacklisting, and optimized virtualization support capabilities for basic security on servers of all types. Security Suite Advanced adds whitelisting and change control protection. McAfee for VDI provides comprehensive security for virtual desktop deployments that won t compromise performance or the user experience. Component controls include: McAfee Application Control for Desktops. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus for Virtual Desktops (VDI). McAfee epo software. Other available security solutions include: McAfee Security for Microsoft Sharepoint. McAfee Security for Email Servers. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Storage. Security 2

The Industry s Most Complete Set of Server Security Technologies Only McAfee can deliver a set of server security solutions this comprehensive because only McAfee has the full range of technologies for securing physical and virtual servers and for centrally managing complex security solutions across mixed environments. These suites draw on the exclusive breadth of the McAfee security technology portfolio, including: McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Combines antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and intrusion prevention technologies to stop and remove malicious software. It also extends coverage to new security risks and reduces the cost of responding to outbreaks with the industry s lowest impact on system performance. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux Offers superior, continuous protection against the growing number of viruses, worms, and malicious code that target Linux systems. Designed for today s fast-moving businesses, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux scales easily, updates automatically, and can be managed centrally from a single console, the McAfee epo platform. McAfee Application Control Provides an effective way to block unauthorized applications and code on servers, corporate desktops, and fixed-function devices. This centrally managed whitelisting solution uses a dynamic trust model and innovative security features that thwart advanced persistent threats, without requiring signature updates or labor-intensive list management. McAfee Management for Optimized Virtual Environments (MOVE) AntiVirus Optimizes McAfee virus protection for virtual desktops and servers without compromising performance or security, helping you realize operational returns and manage security more effectively. McAfee MOVE AntiVirus protects your virtual environment, including your virtual machines in the cloud. McAfee Data Center Connectors Gives you complete visibility into your virtual machines. Discover not just physical servers, but also hypervisors and virtual machines in VMware vsphere, Amazon Web Services, OpenStack, and Microsoft Azure environments.
