McAfee Vulnerability Assessment SaaS

McAfee Vulnerability Assessment SaaS

The world’s network perimeter security standard

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee Vulnerability Assessment SaaS defends your network perimeter against daily threats. Protect the perimeter and you’ll help protect your organization, brand, and customers from hackers, data breaches, adware, spyware, pop-ups, browser exploits, and phishing attempts.

We integrated complementary security technologies into a single service that helps protect your network perimeter. Vulnerability Assessment SaaS leverages our widely used vulnerability scanning technology that currently helps protect more than 80,000 sites. We combine this with security data gathered by continuously crawling the web, searching for and identifying sites harboring malicious code, such as spyware.

Identify potential security issues — With real-time insight into the security status of your network perimeter, you can prioritize your IT security projects, prevent data breaches, and even demonstrate ROI. Vulnerability Assessment SaaS provides transparent objectivity by continually benchmarking and certifying your network perimeter security status to widely adopted independent data security standards, including McAfee SECURE and PCI.

Enjoy easy deployment — This web-based service runs entirely from our McAfee network. It requires no installation, no setup, no hardware purchases, no software development, no security expertise, and no special training to use. McAfee provides automated network security audits combined with an interactive, highly customizable vulnerability management portal. Vulnerability Assessment SaaS also includes a simplified, easy-to-use system perfectly suited to any organization that needs to successfully and confidently complete the steps necessary for PCI (merchant Level 2 – 4) certification.

Assure website visitors — Compliance also holds other benefits. As long as you remain in compliance with the McAfee SECURE standard, you have the option of promoting your certified security to visitors by displaying the well-known McAfee SECURE trustmark on your websites.
