McAfee Enterprise Named a Worldwide Leader in IDC MarketScape for Cloud Security Gateways

McAfee Enterprise | November 25, 2021

McAfee Enterprise and FireEye today announced that the company has been named as a leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud Security Gateways 2021 Vendor Assessment (doc #US48334521, November 2021) for its MVISION Cloud technology, which is part of its MVISION Unified Cloud Edge (UCE) portfolio. McAfee Enterprise received this distinction based on its robust cloud registry and analytics, data loss prevention (DLP) and threat detection capabilities.

The IDC MarketScape defines a cloud security gateway (CSG) as a security enforcement point that monitors cloud application usage by organizations to provide discovery, monitoring, and protection. CSGs incorporate multiple security controls, including policy enforcement, threat detection, data loss prevention and user behavior analysis. Typical use cases for CSGs are data protection, shadow IT discovery, visibility and control of unmanaged devices, threat protection, compliance and security operations in infrastructure as-a-service (IaaS) environments.

According to the report, “McAfee Enterprise has a strong ecosystem of security solutions, including Secure Web Gateway, CSG and endpoint security that it can integrate to enable customers in their data loss prevention, User Behavior Analytics, XDR and threat prevention goals. McAfee has focused on providing robust protection and DLP, with the scale and speed necessary to support large user bases."

“We believe this recognition is yet another validation of McAfee Enterprise’s cloud-native approach to helping businesses overcome the security challenges of adopting a multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environment,MVISION Cloud aims to transform the way IT security is deployed and managed. Together with McAfee Enterprise’s next-generation secure web gateway and MVISION Private Access products, it delivers the industry's most comprehensive security services edge solution—the security element of the Secure Access Service Edge framework.”

Ambient.ai Launches AI-driven Forensics Tool to Improve Security

Ambient.ai | March 06, 2023

Ambient.ai, the company evolving physical security with computer vision intelligence, recently introduced its AI-Powered Forensics solution to power incident investigations in near real-time. New event-based and entity search capabilities enable teams to search by objects, complex actions, and non-biometric person descriptors such as shirt color, thereby reducing investigation times by over 90%. Security investigations require operators to analyze individual camera streams with search options limited to basic motion or person/object search, log into multiple applications, and wait for time-consuming video processing, which can take hours or days. Ambient's AI-Powered Forensics is wholly integrated with the camera system, enabling near-instantaneous search across camera networks when an incident occurs – eliminating lengthy wait times and processing, thereby reducing security investigations from hours to minutes. Entity Search builds upon Ambient.ai's first-of-its-kind event-based search and filtering capabilities, utilizing non-biometric identifiers for objects and people to locate key footage and sophisticated event signatures. Additionally, Conjunction Search enables users to filter footage by two or more entities, events, or attributes, thereby expanding the search parameter's scope. One-click sharing and archiving allow teams to instantly share footage to build detailed reports on incident timelines, speed up internal and external investigations and responses, and ensure security protocol compliance. With streamlined investigations, security teams can analyze footage to determine security efficacy, threat incidence, and vulnerabilities. The Ambient.ai Context GraphTM uses computer vision to identify entities, objects, and their connections across surveillance feeds and PACS alarms in the new AI-Powered Forensics. The platform uses the extensible graph for threat detection, signals intelligence, and response. In addition, the company continuously adds event and entity recognition signatures and uses human-in-the-loop feedback to improve performance. Ambient's AI-Powered Forensics capabilities have been tested in high-security environments, such as world-renowned museums and Fortune 500 companies. Today, innovative companies such as Adobe, Impossible Foods, and VMware rely on the company to improve their physical security. About Ambient.ai Ambient.ai offers cutting-edge computer vision intelligence solutions to transform enterprise security operations. Its platform utilizes AI to enable continuous physical security monitoring and automate the immediate dispatch of human resources, preventing security incidents before they occur. Ambient.ai is trusted by large enterprises, schools, and organizations worldwide and is the first platform to go beyond basic motion detection and image recognition, achieving near-human perception with automated situational context. Based in Palo Alto, California, Ambient.ai is leading the way in advancing physical security solutions.
