• Integration Allows for Improved Security Insight for Cloud Security Command Center Users
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 14, 2019 : McAfee, the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, today announced its support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Security Command Center (Cloud SCC). McAfee MVISION Cloud now integrates with GCP Cloud SCC to help security professionals gain visibility and control over their cloud resources and detect and respond to threats. Cloud SCC users can gain enriched information from the extensive configuration audit capabilities of McAfee MVISION Cloud to locate hidden risks and enforce configuration best practices.
Generally available today, Cloud SCC is a comprehensive security management and data risk platform for GCP, designed to help security teams prevent, detect and respond to threats from a single-pane-of-glass. It provides visibility in what assets are running in Google Cloud as well as risky misconfigurations, so enterprises can reduce their exposure to threats.

- Incident Investigation: With an added layer of visibility from McAfee MVISION Cloud, security professionals can prioritize violations and investigate activities, anomalies and threats with improved insight.
- Configuration Auditing: Users can leverage industry-benchmarked configuration audit policies designed to comprehensively evaluate GCP resources and give an end-to-end assessment of risk.
- Security and Compliance Controls: Users can be notified to take action deep within the family of GCP services to correct policy violations and stop security threats.
“With McAfee MVISION Cloud for CSCC, security operations professionals can tap into the extensive cloud security incident data from McAfee MVISION Cloud for an added layer of insight to improve their security and compliance outcomes,” said Rajiv Gupta, senior vice president, Cloud Security Business Unit, McAfee. “Users will have the ability to make quicker and more informed actions in Cloud SCC, ultimately resulting in enhanced security and improved business impact.”
In close partnership with Google Cloud, McAfee allows customers to build their security and event management ecosystems in an easy, intuitive way. The ability to choose the most relevant metrics from any vendor and collect that data in one place allows organizations to get the best usage out of GCP with the minimal amount of risk.
