McAfee Deep Defender

Stopping stealth attacks with endpoint security beyond the OS

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee Deep Defender is a next generation of hardware-assisted endpoint security, enabled by McAfee DeepSAFE technology, operating beyond the operating system, designed to detect, block and remediate advanced, hidden attacks. McAfee Deep Defender is reinventing the industry approach to security and is the first product built on the McAfee DeepSAFE Technology co-developed with Intel.

Operates beyond the operating system — First-of-its-kind integration with Intel resides between the memory and OS to perform real-time memory and CPU monitoring.

Kernel mode protection — Real-time, kernel-level behavioral monitoring exposes and removes unknown threats, including kernel-mode rootkits, to preempt zero-day malware.

Faster-time-to-protection — Stop low-level stealth attacks as they occur before they cause any damage or steal data.

Comprehensive Security Beyond the Operating System

Features & Benefits

Stop unknown stealth attacks

Prevent stealth attacks from compromising your endpoints and stealing confidential data with real-time kernel memory protection operating beyond the operating system.

Utilize real-time memory and CPU monitoring

Leverage McAfee DeepSAFE technology, a memory software layer executing in VMX-root mode, to provide real-time kernel memory and CPU event protection with minimal performance impact.

Get true zero-day protection

Identify malicious behavior and provide true zero-day protection. McAfee Deep Defender requires no prior knowledge of the rootkit to detect its existence.

Deploy quickly and manage easily

Use McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) software to remotely deploy and manage McAfee Deep Defender alongside your existing McAfee endpoint security solutions, lowering management overhead and costs.

  • Moving Beyond Preventative Moat and Drawbridge Point Product Protection
    Lang Tibbils - May 22, 2013
    Throughout history, guard dogs, canons, moats, and drawbridges have kept intruders out of homes and businesses. These preventative measures merely block off entrances, offer little, if anything, in the way of proactively preventing threats, and don’t let you make adjustments on the fly. Today’s businesses face a similar predicament. Maybe there aren’t any moats or Read more...
