Intel’s security subsidiary McAfee announced four security suites for data centers Monday. The products are server and database security, combining whitelisting, blacklisting and virtualization technologies for both server and virtual-desktop protection.

According to the vendor, the solutions have minimal impact on server resources.

Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst, Information Security and Networking at McAfee’s Enterprise Security Group, said performance and security were major concerns for servers in physical, virtualized or cloud-based data centers.

“he new server security suites from McAfee, based on its application whitelisting, virtualization and blacklisting and AV technologies, provide an enhanced security posture while maintaining the high server performance needs of the data center,” he said.

The four suite types are for server, for server-hypervisor, for virtual desktop infrastructure and for database-server protection.

Both server and server-hypervisor suites offer a complete set of blacklisting, whitelisting and virtualization support capability on servers of all types. The server-hypervisor edition is licensed per hypervisor.

The database suite is a full package that includes database activity monitoring and vulnerability assessment capabilities.
