Upgrade to a modern endpoint defense.

Migrate to McAfee Endpoint Security for a 25% boost in protection.

Are you getting our latest endpoint protection?

If you’re running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, McAfee Host IPS Firewall, or McAfee SiteAdvisor web filtering, you’re not using our latest and most effective endpoint protection. McAfee Endpoint Security is a free security upgrade that simplifies management and leverages machine learning and application containment to halt threats in their tracks.

A recent study by AV-Comparatives shows that upgrading to McAfee Endpoint Security gives you a 25% higher protection rate than McAfee VirusScan Enterprise against zero-day threats. A shared ecosystem means you get a unified solution that integrates multiple defense technologies to collaborate in real time to quickly detect, analyze, block, and contain in-progress attacks, for faster analysis and actions against new and advanced threats, providing stronger threat intelligence.

McAfee Endpoint Security’s orchestrated analysis of and response to threats enables it to automatically protect your environment from zero-day threats like ransomware, save patient zero, and stop network infection simultaneously, providing you with the robust endpoint security solution that today’s advanced threats require.

Existing McAfee customers, with a current license or entitlement to endpoint security suites, can retain their policies and client task assignments from legacy products. Migrating to McAfee Endpoint Security is a free update and can take less than 20 minutes.

Step 2: Deploy Your New Endpoint Security

Install, configure, upgrade, and validate the McAfee solution in a non-production environment.

Perform validation testing to verify your McAfee products are functional, blocking and monitoring activity, and producing logs and events, which are viewable on client systems and from the McAfee ePO console.

Migrate existing policies. Before fully deploying the new McAfee Endpoint Security software to your organization, pilot it in a test environment. Once the pilot test is complete, deploy throughout your organization. McAfee recommends following your organization’s practices for submitting change requests, performing system backups, and developing a recovery plan.
Step 3: Optimize Your New Endpoint Security

Ensure your McAfee Endpoint Security solution is aligned with business processes and remains tuned through periodic assessments.
