McAfee, a cybersecurity company, has received an order from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to prototype a Secure Cloud Management platform.
McAfee will prototype its MVISION Unified Cloud Edge (UCE) cybersecurity solution, which integrates its Next-Generation Secure Web Gateway, cloud access security broker (CASB), and data loss prevention capabilities into one cloud-native platform.
McAfee will be tasked with controlling access to cloud applications for an initial selection of government-owned workloads, said Alex Chapin, vice president for DoD at McAfee.
The Silicon Valley-based DIU accelerates the adoption of commercial technology throughout the military by partnering with organizations across the DoD to rapidly prototype, field and scale advanced commercial solutions that address a growing landscape of national security challenges.
