Use Cases and Deployment Scope

McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is being managed by the company's infrastructure area to improve information security processes in monitoring, investigating and minimizing problems and threats to our cloud services and systems. We use it mainly to monitor the performance of systems and applications, databases and critical network processes. The objective is to perform data analysis for patterns that may indicate a threat. This intelligence process determines priorities and alerts that reveal possible threats as early as possible.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is an important tool for large companies that have their cloud infrastructure. It is very interesting for organizations that need to monitor and analyze data from a heterogeneous infrastructure. It allows you to store billions of events and flows with quick access to long-term event data storage, but this infrastructure has a processing cost.
