Essential endpoint protection for small businesses

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection provides the essential protection to keep small businesses safe from viruses, spyware, web threats, and hacker attacks. SaaS Endpoint Protection makes it easy to deploy and manage security at your company by automating security updates, upgrades, and management — all through the online McAfee SecurityCenter.

A single, integrated solution for SMBs — Eliminate the need for multiple security products. SaaS Endpoint Protection detects and blocks viruses, spyware, spam, phishing schemes, and hacker attacks to safeguard all your systems. Plus, built-in web security ratings warn about potentially dangerous websites, without limiting employee online access.

Affordable SMB security and 24/7 support — A single, low-cost annual subscription offers continuous protection, automatic security updates and upgrades, and around-the-clock technical support.

Easy to install and maintain — SaaS Endpoint Protection is managed by McAfee SecurityCenter, an online console that centralizes installation, configuration, reporting, and security updates.

Features & Benefits

Simplify installation and deployment

Streamline security setup with rapid Internet installation. McAfee customizes an installation link that you simply forward to your employees for quick, online deployment. There are no FTP sites to visit nor any CDs or complex manuals to read.

Lower your costs

Reduce your security expenses with a single annual subscription that covers it all. With McAfee’s Security-as-a-Service (SaaS), there’s no need to buy additional small business security management software, hardware, or technical support.

Block viruses and other malicious threats

Detect viruses, spyware, adware, and other potentially unwanted programs before they install and compromise desktops, laptops, and servers. This small business security solution includes firewall protection to help keep hackers and identity thieves off your network. McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, the same technology that powers our enterprise-class products, is also integrated into McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection to provide you comprehensive protection from new online threats.

Manage and control your security, without IT expertise

Monitor virus, spyware, and firewall protection, and easily modify security policies — even if you don’t have a dedicated IT team at your small business. The web-based McAfee SecurityCenter management console is accessible via any Internet browser and makes it easy to execute more granular security tasks like on-demand virus scans.

Search online safely

Trust McAfee SiteAdvisor ratings to alert your employees to potentially dangerous websites before they click.

Get around-the-clock technical support

Rely on our support experts to resolve any technical problems. Our annual subscription fee includes 24/7 access to the McAfee technical support team.
