Cloud-enabled endpoint defense and threat
response capabilities to be provided through integrated, secure
communications between multiple vendor systems, leveraging the Data
Exchange Layer
McAfee, the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, today
announced that the company has been awarded a cybersecurity
software services contract by the U.S. Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) to help the agency detect and respond to
security threats quickly.
“Federal security teams need holistic solutions to address the
flood of cyber threats agencies are encountering daily with fewer
people and resources than ever,” said Ken Kartsen, vice president
of federal at McAfee. “Such solutions must continuously improve
operational visibility, deliver operational efficiencies and reduce
dwell time, all while improving catch rate and maintaining
situational awareness across the enterprise.”
McAfee will provide TSA with cloud-enabled endpoint defense and
threat response capabilities and leverage the Data Exchange Layer
(DXL), a unified and secure messaging fabric, and the OpenDXL
initiative to both integrate and facilitate communication between
more than 70 solutions from several different security vendors.
Under the terms of the contract, McAfee will deliver the
following solutions:
- McAfee® Endpoint Security
- McAfee® Active Response, an endpoint
detection and response (EDR) technology
- McAfee Threat Intelligence
Exchange
- McAfee® Server Security Suite with
Cloud Workload Discovery
- McAfee® Advanced Threat Defense, a
sandboxing technology
Threat Intelligence Exchange will leverage DXL to integrate
threat information sources and instantly share threat data across
TSA’s multivendor environment, helping its cyber defenses protect
systems across the enterprise from becoming compromised.
