PRESS RELEASE

How would McAfee 10 Gbps IPS help its users?

Recently McAfee announced their new IntruShield

M series platform, the first and only IPS that

delivers performance of up to 10 Gbps.

In its recent publication, “Product Evaluation –

McAfee 10 Gbps IPS TekPlus takes an in-depth

look at key features of McAfee 10 Gbps IPS and its

impact on customers. In the paper, TekPlus also

evaluates the overall product via our unique star

rating system.

Through detailed evaluation, TekPlus believes that McAfee has made a strong effort to enrich its new IntruShield M Series platform with enhanced features. This high capacity IPS will particularly attract the attention of the high-end customers for securing their network core and data center environments. TekPlus expects more interest in this 10 Gbps IPS from McAfee’s existing customers, as this product is capable of integrating with McAfee’s other products like ePO and Foundstone.

“Gone are the days of standalone IPS appliances as multi-functional security devices are gaining huge traction in the marketplace. However, I still believe there is some room for products such as McAfee IPS as it has the capability of securing IPv6 traffic at an astonishing speed. McAfee could have done better by developing a new architecture which is blade-chassis based rather than a standalone box” says Sameer Pawar, Security Analyst at TekPlus.
