McAfee, Inc. announced the latest release of its Total Protection solution, McAfee® Total Protection for Enterprise 2.0. The release further strengthens the threat prevention side of McAfee's security risk management strategy while reducing the complexity, expense and headaches of multiple standalone products. The latest release updates key components including McAfee VirusScan(R) Enterprise, McAfee AntiSpyware(TM) Enterprise and McAfee Policy Enforcer network access control, and adds McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise to Total Protection for Enterprise Advanced.
"As computer threats become more sophisticated, security environments become more complex," said Patrick Hayati, Regional Director, McAfee, Inc Middle East. "Managing a series of applications from multiple vendors is like driving a car with multiple dashboards. McAfee offers powerful threat prevention, managed through a single dashboard, for greater security risk management."
McAfee's Network Access Control (NAC) is a vital component of McAfee Total Protection for Enterprise 2.0, and a critical part of enterprise security risk management. McAfee NAC is a software-based solution with three major components: Policy Enforcer server, Policy Enforcer sensor and Policy Enforcer scanner. Policy Enforcer is part of McAfee Total Protection for Enterprise -- Advanced, which offers a single agent and a single management console.
McAfee Policy Enforcer integrates with the popular ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO) management system to provide robust reporting options of compliance in corporate networks. This provides customers with a record of "due care" taken to help prevent infections and outbreaks.
Strengthens Proactive Threat Prevention
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i and McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise 8.5 provide advanced, proactive protection from viruses, worms, spyware, adware, rootkits, hacker attacks, exploits and more, for desktops and servers. The new technology goes beyond simply offering protection from a database of signatures, using advanced behavioral technology protecting systems from both known and unknown threats.
McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise 8.5 uses this behavioral technology to prevent unknown or new variants of spyware and other unwanted programs that are being used by today's organized cyber-criminals. Complete and scalable centralized management with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator enables centralized policy management, mass deployment, and enterprise-level reporting.
The key new enhancements include:
* Enhanced behavioral-based protection to stop unknown and sophisticated attacks
* Advanced rootkit detection to stop attackers and spyware from hiding threats
* Improved self-protection to prevent malware or attackers from disabling protection
To provide additional protection for users browsing the Internet, Total Protection for Enterprise Advanced includes McAfee Site Advisor Enterprise, providing users the ability to safely search the Internet. The easy to use solution, for Internet Explorer and Firefox, summarizes safety results into intuitive red, yellow and green ratings to help web users stay safe as they search, browse and transact online. McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise helps protect users against a new breed of "social engineering" tricks such as spyware infections, identity theft scams, and websites which send excessive e-mail.
