Description:

Of all your company’s assets, the one thieves would most like to get their hands on is your data. Unprotected data is easy to steal, transport, use, and sell. The ubiquity of the Internet and a steadily increasing number of mobile devices haven’t made the situation any easier.

Thankfully, there’s McAfee Total Protection for Data. This comprehensive solution protects your data in use, in transit, and at rest against loss or theft using powerful encryption, strong access control, user behavior monitoring, and policy-driven security enforcement.

Preventing data loss begins with improving visibility and control over your data. Total Protection for Data helps you design, implement, and manage company-wide security policies that control how employees use and transfer your sensitive information via common channels such as email, IM, printing, and USB drives. You stay in control whether users are in the office, at home, or on the move.

The solution also helps stop data loss initiated by Trojans, worms, and file-sharing applications that hijack employee credentials.

This solution’s full-disk encryption helps ensure that information remains secure when it’s stored on desktops, laptops, tablets, and other mobile devices. File and folder encryption lets you control which specific file types and folders are encrypted—and ensure they stay encrypted, regardless of where they are saved using Persistent Encryption Technology™.

Planned integration with McAfee’s own ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™) in 2008* will provide a single centralized console for efficiently putting McAfee security to work for your company while reducing management effort, time, and training.

Finally, Total Protection for Data helps you meet stringent policies for safeguarding confidential information. With the solution’s advanced reporting and auditing capabilities, you can quickly and easily demonstrate compliance to internal and external auditors, board members, and other key stakeholders.
