Cybersecurity firm McAfee announced Thursday that its McAfee MVISION Portfolio Family of device-to-cloud security technologies and McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator on Amazon Web Services have been added to the approved product list under the Department of Homeland Security’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program.
