Comprehensive Malware Protection

An orchestrated approach to protect against malware

Next Steps:

Overview

Today’s layered defense strategy must match the sophistication of modern threats. No individual antimalware product can block all malware infiltration and subsequent activity. You need a team — with the latest equipment.

Layers made manageable — Comprehensive malware protection requires the right defensive layers within each asset and throughout your infrastructure. With them, real-time defenses can deny essentially all malware, keeping your systems and networks available and secure. For resilience and situational awareness, these layers should be knit into a system of systems. Antimalware is integral to the equation, reinforced by other defenses and event management systems.

Multi-vector, multi-engine coverage — McAfee keeps giving you more: more coverage, more innovation, more protection. Our comprehensive malware protection integrates multi-vector detection and blocking at every endpoint, beyond the OS, and everywhere in between. Rich, rigorous analytics take full advantage of cloud intelligence to identify and stop malware assailing endpoints including mobile devices and web, network, and email gateways. Network-based systems monitor and analyze traffic in real time to detect unusual activity that could indicate a compromised host harboring a bot network or persistent attacker.

Context, control, and communication — By integrating real-time defenses, global and local intelligence, and context, McAfee can block almost all malware. Reinforcing system and application controls thwart exploitation and execution by any malicious code that gets through. Data shared in dynamic processes highlight key events to expedite identification, containment, and remediation.

Endpoint to Everywhere — This endpoint to everywhere coverage is core to the McAfee Security Connected approach. Our open platform connects your McAfee solutions to the rest of your security and compliance systems, to the real-time McAfee Global Threat Intelligence network, and to innovative new defenses coming soon. Get connected to improve your security posture, get more value from your investments, and align security to enable business.
