McAfee, Inc. Provides Security for Two-Thirds of All Secure USB Device Manufacturers
July 06 2010 - 3:01AM
Business Wire
McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) today announced that it has original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) relationships to provide anti-virus
(AV) technology to two-thirds of world’s secured universal serial
bus (USB) device manufacturers. McAfee has OEM partnerships with
USB manufacturers that include Kingston Digital Inc, MXI, Rocky
Mountain Ram, SanDisk, SPYRUS, Hagiwara, and Yoggie Security
Systems (see attached quote sheet). From consumers to enterprises,
and especially in highly regulated industries, there is a growing
demand for secured USB devices.
One of the most popular mobile productivity devices today is
high-capacity, removable USB media storage. The increased reliance
on USB devices inside and outside of the corporate environment has
driven the need to ensure these devices do not become a conduit for
malware. McAfee protects users from infection with an automatic
anti-malware scan that prohibits file transfers to the secure USB
drive when it detects infection on a host PC. McAfee technology
protects against malware attaching to the portable drive and
infecting an internal enterprise host.
“Whether it’s intellectual property, confidential information,
or trade secrets, corporations, governments and defense entities
all need to take appropriate steps to properly secure their data,”
said David Scholtz, senior vice president of worldwide strategic
alliances for McAfee. “Conventional USB drives and other removable
storage devices can allow viruses, worms and other malicious code
to penetrate systems. The combination of McAfee anti-virus
technology with our OEM partner offerings provides the
comprehensive layers of protection required to protect data from
loss or leakage, and prevent the spread of malware.”
The McAfee OEM Alliance program puts McAfee expertise and
industry-leading McAfee protection into a broad spectrum of
existing and emerging products for endpoints, servers, data, and
the network. This coverage includes embedded devices spread across
a wide range of industries, including retail, healthcare, energy,
and financial services.
