McAfee this week made several significant announcements designed to further its reach in all areas of cloud security, MVISION(XDR) most centered on extended detection and response.
The company’s new cloud-based MVISION XDR platform aims to give organizations greater visibility and a full set of threat management capabilities across the attack lifecycle so they can better protect their enterprises both before and after attacks.
The ability to detect threats before a system is compromised is important, said Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. Typically, threat detection occurs when a system is compromised or when it starts communicating over a network, so what McAfee is doing—what it calls “shifting left”—is important. Shifting left means detecting a threat before a system is compromised.
