McAfee is making it easier for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) to manage their endpoint security. In response to a growing demand for simpler security solutions, McAfee launched McAfee SMB Endpoint Protection Essentials which provides flexible endpoint protection that can be deployed and managed in a manner unique to the company’s needs and budget. The new solution includes anti-virus, anti-spyware, desktop firewall, and McAfee SiteAdvisor Web site safety ratings.
McAfee SMB Endpoint Protection Essentials allows businesses to reduce IT costs and deploy endpoint protection managed the way they want (i.e., on premise or SaaS). Depending upon their IT needs or availability of IT resources, SMB customers have the freedom to deploy security management for their endpoints on-premises, from the cloud (SaaS) or both by purchasing a single product. Customers also have the option to change the deployment method as their needs change.
McAfee SMB Endpoint Protection Essentials offers:
· Tailored Pricing: Made for the plug-and-play world of the SMB, the solution features just the “must have” tools providing essential security at a SMB friendly price.
· Flexible deployment: SMB customers can purchase endpoint protection without worrying about how their changing business circumstances or growth will impact their security product decision. SMBs can customise their security management based on the need to protect remote employees and the availability of IT resources.
· Ease of management: A single management console allows users to view on-premise and SaaS managed endpoint protection services. With integration between McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform and the McAfee online SaaS-based SecurityCenter, customers get a unified view of all their endpoints protected with SaaS or on-premise management. This saves time and effort for resource and time constrained IT personnel.
· Complete endpoint protection: Endpoint protection represents a must-have security for any business including SMBs. McAfee offers strong anti-virus, anti-spyware, desktop firewall, and SiteAdvisor Web site safety ratings in one convenient package especially for SMBs.
