McAfee Remediation Manager

McAfee Remediation Manager Overview:

Every day you feel squeezed by the pressures of regulatory compliance and security threats. When a vulnerability is discovered, you know its exploit is not far behind. Proactive vulnerability remediation is critical to your security. Turn policy into action with McAfee Remediation Manager—automated remediation that reduces your risk and helps you stay compliant with regulations and policies.

Description:

The pressures of regulatory compliance and security threats never let up. New vulnerabilities are emerging daily. And the time between the discovery of vulnerabilities and exploits is getting shorter. Compliance with industry regulations and internal policies also mandates speedy correction of policy violations. Add to this the burden of detailed reporting. You need powerful tools that automate vulnerability remediation, so that you can demonstrate compliance, reduce risk, and increase IT efficiency.

Enforce compliance and automate vulnerability remediation with McAfee Remediation Manager, a key component of the McAfee approach to security risk management. Get highly accurate data for decision support and flexible compliance enforcement that aligns with policies and industry regulations. Because Remediation Manager offers support for third party vulnerability assessment scanners, you protect your IT investments.

Remediation Manager addresses all of the major vulnerabilities: software defects, unsecured accounts, unnecessary services, misconfigurations, and backdoors. Our library of more than 25,000 tested vulnerability remedies covers all five types. And Remediation Manager stays up to date on the latest vulnerabilities. It collects and compiles vulnerability data and creates new remedies that are downloaded via an automated delivery mechanism.

Remediation Manager applies remedies that keep your devices compliant with internal security policies that you define and with government and industry regulations. Get a snapshot of remediation activity and manage and monitor operations. Extensive reporting capabilities include summary reports for executives and detailed technical data for IT administrators. As a central element of McAfee's approach to security risk management, Remediation Manager enables organizations to proactively define, measure, report, and remediate on the compliance of information systems based on industry, regulatory, and corporate security policies, standards, and frameworks.  Integration with McAfee Policy Auditor, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator®, McAfee Vulnerability Manager (formerly McAfee Foundstone®), McAfee Risk and Compliance Manager, and McAfee Network Access Control helps you protect the investment you've made in existing tools. At the same time, you minimize risk as well as maximize your IT resources and security software investments.
