McAfee offers app security management

McAfee has unveiled a version of its enterprise firewall, promising greater visibility and protection from internal and external threats, as well as improved manageability, reports Computing.co.uk.

McAfee Firewall Enterprise 8 features expanded application awareness and protection to take account of the explosion in Web 2.0 and other apps, according to senior product marketing manager Mike Smart.
