McAfee Labs delivers the highest level of real-time threat intelligence. McAfee Global Threat Intelligence is a comprehensive solution that tracks the entire threat lifecycle, enabling predictive security to guard against the latest vulnerabilities, ensure regulatory and internal compliance, and lower the cost of remediation.
Global Threat Intelligence was created and refined by McAfee Labs to power the next generation of security. Spanning the entire Internet, Global Threat Intelligence effectively uses millions of sensors to gather real-time intelligence from host IP addresses, Internet domains, specific URLs, files, images, and email messages. It seeks new and emerging threats, including malware outbreaks, zero-day exploits, and malicious zombie senders generating spam and web attacks. McAfee Labs’ team of more than 350 researchers in 30 countries is dedicated to providing the most relevant security information by tracking and analyzing the latest threats.
Real-time Global Threat Intelligence powers McAfee’s groundbreaking threat technologies, including Artemis and TrustedSource, which distribute continually tuned threat protection through McAfee’s suite of endpoint and network security products.
Evolving Threats, Evolving Security
The threat landscape is changing as spam volumes hit new highs, new vulnerabilities emerge in Web 2.0 technologies, and malware leverages multiple channels for propagation and infection.
Unlike traditional security solutions, McAfee’s Global Threat Intelligence enables predictive security before these new threats strike, rather than simply delivering reactive, signature-based protection. Global Threat Intelligence collects threats in the cloud, using real-time, reputation-based behavioral analysis to track new and emerging dangers. McAfee Labs’ multidisciplinary team of researchers understands the entire threat lifecycle—from identifying application vulnerabilities to rolling out threat mitigation—and is dedicated to tracking all types of threats across all entry points.
Our researchers continually correlate and share threat intelligence across all threat vectors and research divisions to instantly sync the most up-to-date information on malware, email and web threats, application vulnerabilities, and network security. With Global Threat Intelligence powering your McAfee security solutions, you’ll receive predictive protection from unknown threats, proactive protection from emerging threats, and highly accurate detection rates for known threats. Additionally, because Global Threat Intelligence uniquely spans the entire threat lifecycle across all threat vectors, you get a comprehensive view of the current threat landscape, enabling you to understand your organization’s risk profile in real time.
McAfee’s full suite of endpoint and network security products both leverage Global Threat Intelligence to provide predictive security and are capable of acting as sensors to send instant feedback on the latest web, email, and network vulnerabilities. Using collective intelligence gathered from the global community of McAfee consumers, enterprises, and network and endpoint products, McAfee Labs correlates threat information in real time.
The result? Comprehensive, easily accessible security intelligence that’s optimized for compliance and proven to block 99% of all malware and spam.
