Next Steps:

Overview

Corporate data is constantly at risk of loss, theft, and exposure. The McAfee Total Protection for Data solution suite protects your data using a combination of powerful encryption, access control, and user-behavior monitoring. It helps you establish and enforce a data protection policy and centralize data security management using McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) software.

Total Protection for Data helps:

  • Control how employees access, use, and transfer sensitive information via common channels, such as email, IM, printing, and USB drives. You stay in control of your data protection whether users are in the office, at home, or on the move.
  • Stop data loss initiated by Trojans, worms, and file-sharing applications that hijack employee credentials.
  • Secure data when it’s stored on desktops, laptops, tablets, and other mobile devices. You control which specific file types and folders are encrypted.
  • Use advanced reporting and auditing capabilities to quickly and easily demonstrate security compliance to internal and external auditors, board members, and other key stakeholders.

Features & Benefits

Gain control over your data

Monitor and regulate how your employees access, use, and transfer data via common channels, such as email, IM, printing, and USB drives — both in and away from the office.

Protect devices with powerful data encryption

Prevent unauthorized system access and render sensitive data unreadable in the event of device loss or theft by implementing full-disk encryption and access control on all endpoint devices.
