The McAfee Cloud Secure program will use a combination of methods to help cloud vendors secure their products

McAfee has recently launched a program to help Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers strengthen the security around their cloud based offerings. The ‘McAfee Cloud Secure Program’ includes services such as cloud security certification, automated auditing, remediation and reporting.

The service will use a combination of rigorous security testing, business practice review, compliance certification, and ongoing vulnerability evaluation to help Cloud vendors secure their cloud environments.

The company is partnering with leading certification delivery vendors to provide certification services tailored for SaaS and Cloud vendors. The certification services, which will be provided on an annual basis, will include existing security controls, processes and certifications, as well as future cloud security standards.

As a part of its automated auditing, remediation and reporting services, McAfee will perform automatic and daily security audits, remediation of vulnerabilities and reporting of the security status of their service and network. Cloud vendors who pass the daily scan and other checks will receive a “McAfee SECURE” Trustmark, providing credible, third party validation to be used on their solutions and in customer-facing marketing collateral.
