Business Wire
FOCUS 2010 – McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE), today announced as part
of its Security Connected initiative, the industry’s broadest
endpoint security solution, uniquely integrated into a single
management platform to keep organizations one step ahead. McAfee
Endpoint Security 9 provides strong endpoint and data protection
for any device, to secure corporate assets with best-in-class
security without impeding critical systems and processes.
Today businesses face an increasingly complex IT agenda. Often
organizations have disparate layers of security, disconnected
security management processes and a multitude of corporate and
employee-owned devices to manage and protect as well as securing
physical and virtual environments. IT struggles with balancing
protection and enabling the business. To address this challenge
McAfee offers companies comprehensive protection for desktops,
laptops, tablets, servers, storage, virtual machines, mobile and
embedded systems, specifically optimized for each of these
environments.
“The McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator security management platform
allows us to connect the different parts of McAfee security
technologies to make more intelligent decisions about managing our
security which ultimately improves our protection across our
infrastructure,” said Eugene Fredriksen, global information
security officer, at Tyco International. “The solutions from McAfee
make it an easy choice to lock down our environment.”
McAfee Endpoint Security Platform Key New Features and
Benefits
Organizations continue to face a “perfect storm” characterized
by escalating attacks and having to manage increasingly complex IT
environments. Organizations must move at the speed of business,
while IT security budgets have remained relatively flat.
Consequently, many organizations deploy security solutions from
multiple vendors, which increases the cost of security and
negatively impacts effectiveness. McAfee Endpoint Security Platform
9 delivers “faster-time-to-protection” through intelligent
connected security, allowing businesses to experience the following
benefits:
- Securely Enable the Consumerization
of IT: Smartphones and tablets are becoming indispensible
productivity work tools. IT organizations are also being pressured
to allow employee owned laptops and home PCs to access corporate
networks. As a result, many organizations are facing increased
demand to provide greater access to corporate networks through
handheld devices. McAfee® Enterprise Mobility Management supports
platforms like Apple iOS and Android, empowering organizations to
say “yes” to the Consumerization of IT while ensuring secure and
easy access to corporate data and business applications. McAfee
delivers the industry’s most complete range of integrated and
centrally managed data protection solutions, extending from the
enterprise data center to desktops, laptops, USB devices,
smartphones and tablets - to empower the mobile enterprise.
- Safely Unleash Virtualization at
Full Power: While traditional security solutions can limit
virtualization deployments, McAfee provides optimized security
solutions specifically designed for virtual environments. McAfee
Management Optimized for Virtualized Environments AntiVirus (MOVE
AV) improves virtual machine density and performance by offloading
security functions like AV scanning. Through a unified management
platform for seamless security and management control across
virtual and physical environments, McAfee is enabling organizations
to safely unleash virtualization at full power and maximum
density.
- Optimized Security
Performance: The integrated McAfee Endpoint Security
solutions delivers stronger protection for lower cost allowing
customers to realize optimized security performance. On average
companies who have deployed McAfee-based integrated endpoint
security solutions demonstrated a 21 percent improvement in total
cost of ownership compared to companies not using McAfee1. The new
release of McAfee® VirusScan® Enterprise software delivers
optimized security with significant system performance
improvements2, including:
- 83 percent faster on-access
scanning
- 78 percent faster on-demand
scanning
- 38 percent less memory
requirements
