McAfee, part of Intel Security, has announced that leading research firm Gartner, Inc. has positioned the company in the leaders quadrant in its "Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management" as published on June 25, 2014.

McAfee Enterprise Security Manager gives organizations broad visibility into their network and endpoints so they have the ability to take action and control their security posture. Our customers have the advantage of finding those needles in a haystack of big data

According to the report, Broad adoption of SIEM technology is being driven by the need to detect threats and breaches, as well as by compliance needs. And the greatest area of unmet need is effective targeted attack and breach detection. Organizations are failing at early breach detection, with more than 92 percent of breaches undetected by the breached organization. The situation can be improved with stronger threat intelligence, the addition of behavior profiling and better analytics. Additionally, the report highlights that scalability is a major consideration with SIEM deployments.
