In Deep Defender is being touted as the industrys next generation of endpoint security that's capable of detecting nearly all kernel-mode malware.
According to a company release, this unprecedented level of security is possible with McAfee DeepSAFE technology because its protection layer is located beyond the operating system (OS).
McAfee worked closely with Intel with the purpose of delivering hardware-assisted security designed to stop and remediate advanced stealth behaviors used by rootkits and APTs.
McAfee Deep Defender utilizes McAfee DeepSAFE technology that sits between the processor and the OS to help protect vital system software residing in physical memory, providing a new view of the drivers and other software as they operate. In addition, McAfee Deep Defender claims to provide real-time memory and CPU monitoring, true zero-day detection, protection against known and unknown threats, and central management with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform.
Will the new launch bring Intel's stated vision of combining the power of hardware and software to create more effective security solutions closer to reality? It will be interesting to watch how CIOs and IT managers experiment with the new solution in the real world.
