McAfee Endpoint Protection — Advanced Suite

Advanced protection for your endpoints

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee Endpoint Protection — Advanced Suite delivers integrated, proactive security that blocks malware and zero-day threats, and protects mobile systems on and off your network. With centralized policy-based management, access control, and auditing, Endpoint Protection — Advanced Suite helps keep your systems and data safe and compliant.

Endpoint Protection — Advanced Suite includes:

Real-time anti-malware protection — Block viruses, Trojans, worms, adware, spyware, and other potentially unwanted programs that steal confidential data and sabotage user productivity on PC and Unix systems.

Proactive email and web security — Intercept malware and spam before it reaches inboxes. Built-in McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus warns users about malicious websites before they click and allows administrators to authorize or block website access, ensuring compliance.

Zero-day and vulnerability shielding  —  Host intrusion prevention patrols your endpoints against malware, blocks malicious code from hijacking an application, and provides automatically updated signatures that shield laptops and desktops from attack. It’s safe to implement and test patches on your schedule. Combined with our patented behavioral protection, which prevents buffer overflow attacks, you get the most advanced system vulnerability coverage on the market.

Desktop firewall — Control desktop applications that can access the network, and stop network-borne attacks and downtime. Deploy and manage firewall policies based on location to deliver complete protection and compliance with regulations.

Strong network and device control — Comprehensive device control monitors and restricts data copied to removable storage devices, ensuring that sensitive information remains safe. Endpoint Protection — Advanced Suite also blocks unwanted applications from running on systems and prevents noncompliant systems from accessing the network — critical protection for today’s mobile workforce.

Unrivaled centralized management — The McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform provides instant visibility into your overall security status and specific events, enabling unified control of all your security and compliance tools.
