Powerful visualization tools provide unique insight into the effectiveness of policy controls.

Improve business agility and reduce costs
Lower acquisition and operational costs with an increased protection profile in both physical and virtual network environments. Enterprises can install McAfee firewall and security features to Riverbed Steelhead equipment, adding network and application visibility to Riverbed’s WAN optimization and server consolidation capabilities.

Use AppPrism for application controls
Discover, control, visualize, and protect thousands of network applications. With AppPrism, you can gain individual application function control within the application.

Integrate with existing identity infrastructure
Align your firewall rules directly with organizational policy statements. Integration with existing network identity infrastructure enables simple deployment while aligning network security with the organization system of record.

Leverage millions of sensors worldwide
Harness the power of 100 million sensors worldwide, providing real-time threat feeds to deliver predictive and pro-active security protection. Greatly reduce your time to protection with automated threat feeds that are delivered without taking the firewall offline.

Identify firewall rule optimizations
Simplify the firewall’s policy in real time. Eliminate the hours spent looking for overlapping, conflicting, or inactive rules. The intuitive interface immediately identifies firewall rule optimizations, as you modify or construct rules.

Optimize rules management
Centrally manage firewalls and generate reports; create rules and selectively apply anti-virus, IPS signatures, URL filtering, and more from a single screen; correlate firewall rules to users and applications to ease planning and troubleshooting. Integration with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform provides a holistic view of firewall health information and an understanding of desktop and server security posture.

Provide security throughout the network
Deploy robust, flexible, and scalable security across your network, precisely where it’s needed with McAfee’s diverse set of powerful platforms. McAfee’s custom-built network appliances and availability to run on Crossbeam’s X-Series platforms address all performance and port density requirements, providing up to 40 Gbps of inspected traffic throughput. Multi-firewall appliances can consolidate up to 32 traditional standalone firewalls into a single, easy-to-manage, and cost-effective appliance. Our firewall virtual appliances secure intra-VM traffic among hosted machines within VMware ESX servers.
