McAfee Acquires Skyhigh Networks

January 2018 by Marc Jacob

McAfee has announced the
completion of its previously announced
acquisition of Skyhigh
Networks. With the close of this deal, Skyhigh Networks becomes part of the
McAfee Cloud Security Business Unit.

Skyhigh is a complement to McAfee’s strategy - one focused on building
and optimizing mission-critical cybersecurity environments for the future.
Skyhigh Networks pioneered the cloud access security broker (CASB) market
segment that analysts describe as one of the fastest growing areas of
information security investments of the last five years. With this technology,
McAfee can now offer a cloud portfolio that addresses the three primary
challenges of managing multi-cloud environments-visibility into networks,
workloads and data, advanced threat protection and pervasive data protection.

According to McAfee’s 2017 cloud adoption and security report, Building Trust in
a Cloudy Sky (http://www.mcafee.com/cloudsecurityreport), 93% of organizations
use some form of cloud services. McAfee cloud security solutions provide
visibility, advanced threat protection, and data protection controls across all
clouds to secure network traffic, workloads, and data. The multi-cloud security
management of Skyhigh Security Cloud (Skyhigh), McAfee Cloud Workload Security
(McAfee CWS) and McAfee Virtual Network Security Platform (McAfee vNSP) allows
administrators to identify and secure critical cloud resources.

Security professionals know the importance of the cloud, but need a way to
ensure their networks, workloads and data are all protected. McAfee solutions
help in the following ways:

· Visibility into the Cloud: McAfee cloud security solutions help
organizations identify where their critical resources reside in the cloud.
Skyhigh identifies sensitive information using keywords, data patterns,
fingerprints, metadata, and file types - and analyzes behavior across all cloud
services, users, and devices. McAfee CWS allows administrators to apply security
controls across multiple cloud infrastructure environments, to discover and
monitor potentially thousands of cloud workloads and virtual networks.
Additionally, with McAfee vNSP, administrators can inspect and analyze all
traffic to, from, and within cloud environments.

· Threat Prevention: Threat prevention measures are implemented to layer
protection across networks, workloads, and files, so that administrators can
take immediate and automated remediative action. McAfee CWS monitors cloud
workload configuration profiles, prevents advanced threats with machine
learning, and applies application whitelisting to automatically enforce workload
compliance policies. In parallel, McAfee vNSP provides the opportunity to
visualize threat sources within log flows, and uses sandboxing, dynamic
behavioral analysis, and machine learning to stop threats from traversing the
network. Skyhigh detects unusual behavior indicative of an insider threat,
compromised account, or privileged user threat.

· Data Protection: Skyhigh helps identify and control access to sensitive
information already in, moving to, or originating in the cloud. Administrators
can consistently enforce sharing permissions within applications, manage access
controls across multiple environments, restrict the ability to download
sensitive data to unmanaged devices - controlling the potential for oversharing
information - and protect both structured and unstructured data with information
rights management and encryption.
