Case Study: Large Government Contractor extends secure AWS cloud operations with McAfee

Large Government Contractor Extends Security to AWS Public Cloud

Large Government Contractor, a business process provider to government health and human services agencies, needed a way to securely extend its hybrid security model into AWS public cloud. The company wanted the flexibility, scalability, and lower TCO of cloud services, but faced the challenge of proving the cloud could be secured while still supporting a small IT/security team across 35,000 endpoints.

McAfee helped the company implement McAfee Cloud Workload Discovery, managed through McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO), alongside McAfee Server Security Suite Essentials and McAfee Endpoint Security. The solution was deployed in less than a week and gave the team centralized visibility, policy control, automated reporting, and faster remediation across physical, virtual, and cloud workloads. As a result, Large Government Contractor can manage its hybrid environment efficiently, speed compliance, and confidently expand future AWS use with minimal additional overhead.
