Don't settle for the shortcomings of Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise)

Security blind spots

Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise) faces difficulties in inspecting 100% SSL/TLS traffic without impacting performance. Without inspecting encrypted traffic at scale, large portions of encrypted threats can pass by unnoticed.

Scalability and performance issues

Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise) does not run all its services in all its PoPs, severely limiting scalability. Marred with bugs and periodic slowdowns, performance issues are common, not to mention the worries about delays in data syncing from integrated tools.

Complexity and confusion

Clunky and difficult to use, Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise) has usability issues and feature gaps, requiring frequent upgrades. Also, post-merger, McAfee and FireEye split into Skyhigh Security and Trellix (endpoint security). These multiple changes have adversely impacted the stability of their offering.

Zscaler vs. Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise)

Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise)

Zscaler

Form Factor

Scalability challenges

Its legacy architecture limits scale and does not run all its services in all PoPs.

Cloud native

Cloud native proxy architecture with infinite scale and adaptive protection.

TLS/SSL Inspection

Leaves you at risk

Struggles to inspect SSL/TLS traffic without severely affecting performance, leaving you open to compromises.

Leaves nothing hidden

Inspects 100% of TLS/SSL traffic inline, without degrading performance or compromising on effective security.

SWG/SSE vision

Lacking

Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise) do not run their SSE offerings in all their PoPs with a relatively weaker roadmap, impacting growth.

Pioneer

13+ years of SWG and SSE leadership, with analysts acknowledging Zscaler’s vision and ability to execute as reasons for continued leadership.

Operational Overhead and Costs

Can’t keep up

Legacy architecture requires significant operational overhead and patch management.

Always up to date 

Our cloud native, proxy-based solution with a single, unified agent minimizes complexities of managing and upgrading SSE components.

Threat Prevention

Can’t keep up

Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise) rely on the company they split from, Trellix, for more advanced sandboxing analysis.

Always up to date 

Fortifies your defenses and minimizes risk through a comprehensive suite of AI-driven security services designed to stop ransomware, prevent zero-day threats, and detect unknown malware.

Malware Analysis

Passthrough inspection

Passthrough security solutions let traffic through without inspecting it for sophisticated attacks, determining malicious intent after it’s already too late.

AI/ML-based quarantine

Stop and quarantine zero-day attacks—even if they’re hidden in TLS/SSL traffic—preventing them from reaching their targets with inline detection with AI/ML-based analysis.

Ransomware Protection

Too many blind spots

Given that Skyhigh Security (McAfee Enterprise) struggle to provide 100% SSL/TLS inspection, adversaries can easily deliver payloads through encrypted channels.

Comprehensive protection

Full TLS/SSL inspection at scale with a cloud native zero trust architecture that uncovers, isolates, and stops ransomware in its tracks regardless of user, location, or network.

Administration/UX

Clunky and complex

Dealing with hardware and software updates is time-consuming, and you still need additional devices for TLS/SSL decryption and enforcement.

Easy to use

With the network out of the equation, focus on creating context-based business policies that are enforced consistently across hybrid environments, without any hardware constraints.
