By D.E.Levine

Ever since acquiring Secure Computing for $465 million, McAfee has been busy integrating the TrustedSource intelligence system from Secure Computing into its own managed security service.

With the release of Total Protection Service 5.0 McAfee provides a vulnerability service that allows companies to scan Web sites for vulnerabilities and compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, a set of rules supported by Visa, MasterCard and other credit card companies.

The new features provided by McAfee allow companies to scan their Web sites for vulnerabilities such as malware, e-mail and Web threats, as well as compliance with the accepted financial data handling standards.

McAfee is definitely taking the aggressive approach to make certain that their managed security services address 21st century security problems.
