Overview
McAfee ePO Deep Command provides secure and remote security management access to PCs that may be powered off or disabled. ePO Deep Command utilizes Intel® vPro™ Active Management Technology (AMT) to deliver beyond the operating system management, reducing security operations costs while enhancing your security posture. Using Intel vPro AMT, ePO Deep Command enables secure remote access regardless of the PC’s power or encrypted state so security administrators can remotely remediate compromised systems, enable energy-saving initiatives, wake systems, and apply proactive security.
By communicating with endpoints at a level beyond the operating system, ePO Deep Command allows security administrators to configure and remediate hard-to-manage endpoints from a central site, using an established and familiar management platform — McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator.
Deploy security ahead of an attack — Switch on the powered-off PCs to keep them up-to-date by installing the latest security updates, patches, service packs, and other important security tasks. You can even schedule a time to switch on your AMT systems using the AMT Alarm Clock feature.
Fast call for help — Whether the PC is local or remote, the administrator can connect to the disabled PC via AMT to conduct a remote boot from another .ISO image on the network.
Quickly remediate endpoints — Access PCs when disabled by connecting at the hardware level for secure remediation.
Reduce power while maintaining control — Decrease power consumption by encouraging and enforcing power-off policies, knowing that those systems are available for remote security control.

- 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... - Deep Defender: Protecting Customers Beyond the Operating System
