McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint (MSMS) ensures that your corporate SharePoint deployment does not spread malware, store inappropriate content, or lead to data loss. Microsoft SharePoint, a widely deployed tool to share and store business information and content, does not block malware or inappropriate content — a risk for organizations that are unable to ensure SharePoint users have the latest malware protection in place. MSMS delivers industry-leading protection to prevent the server from inadvertently becoming a security hazard.
Specialized SharePoint security — MSMS adds a critical layer of anti-virus protection and content filtering to ensure you achieve all the business benefits of SharePoint without any of the associated security hazards.
Simpified deployment and management — MSMS interfaces with SharePoint using the recommended security architecture via the SharePoint VirusScan API and SharePoint Object Model. Deploy MSMS on all SharePoint web front-end servers in your SharePoint farm, individually deploy and manage MSMS on the SharePoint server, and centrally deploy and manage MSMS through the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform. MSMS works with SharePoint 2003, 2007, and 2010, giving you continued protection even in diverse environments.
