McAfee Public Cloud Server Security Suite (McAfee PCS) delivers comprehensive cloud workload security for Amazon EC2. Automated discovery of weak security controls, unsafe firewall, encryption settings and suspicious traffic reduces the time and effort to identify security risks. Policy-driven assessment makes it easy to compare what security controls cloud workloads require versus what they have. McAfee PCS provides comprehensive security to protect Windows and Linux instances from advanced malware, remote exploits, data theft and to ensure compliance. McAfee PCS includes threat prevention, firewall security, intrusion prevention, whitelisting and file integrity monitoring. Protection scales elastically with your Amazon workloads so that they are always protected.

McAfee ePO management console gives organizations centralized control to help implement consistent security across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. Administrators can use this single management platform with simplified workflows to quickly address threat alerts and enforce policies.

New-Now you can protect Amazon workloads with McAfee PCS and pay hourly per workload discovered and assessed. With cost starting at just $0.01 an hour, you can ensure that your clouds are a secure extension of your data center
