Endpoint Security Solutions Excel in Protection Against Advanced Threats – Outranking the Competition

May 2011 by Marc Jacob

McAfee announced several market validations of its enterprise endpoint security technology, with independent proof of superior threat detection and endpoint performance, powered by a unique unified threat intelligence system and integrated management platform.

McAfee® Endpoint Security provides continuous, updated, and powerful security against the entire spectrum of threats, from zero-day exploits to hacker attacks. As a core component of the McAfee Security Connected framework, McAfee endpoint security provides complete protection for all endpoints, including virtualized environments and all platforms such as Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Mobile and Embedded devices, ensuring secure, seamless access to business applications and corporate data. Approximately 97% of the top 100 Fortune 500 global companies trust McAfee to secure their business.

Unlike other security companies who offer a fragmented management strategy with multiple infrastructures, overlapping functionality and in some cases up to a dozen different management systems, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™) is the only enterprise-class security management system to provide unified management of endpoint, data, and network security. McAfee ePO provides an extensible framework for security management and integrated workflow automation to over 100 McAfee Security Innovation Alliance partners.

McAfee Enterprise Endpoint Security leads in industry tests:

· McAfee rises to the top in enterprise-class endpoint security testing: NSS Labs, a leader in enterprise class security solutions testing — completed a series of group tests to evaluate the overall effectiveness of corporate endpoint protection solutions. McAfee Endpoint Protection suites featuring the combination of McAfee® VirusScan® Enterprise 8.8, McAfee Host IPS 8.0, and McAfee Site Advisor Enterprise 3.0 met or beat all tested competitors in all 14 threat categories tested. The testing addressed advanced threat vectors and included in-depth analysis of the latest anti-evasion techniques — the ability of cybercriminals to trick and circumvent endpoint protection products.

· McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise 8.8 showed highest performance in benchmark test by AV-Test: The performance impact on endpoints introduced by traditional AntiVirus products has resulted in impacts to productivity and end user satisfaction. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 has introduced a new smart caching and advanced memory management technology which dramatically reduces malware scan times, beating all major market competitors, including some by more than 22 times. Along with scan speed, McAfee VirusScan 8.8 led all vendors tested in data throughput, which is a key indicator of product performance.

“Enterprises trust McAfee Endpoint Security to provide the most comprehensive threat intelligence managed under a single infrastructure,” said Candace Worley, senior vice president and general manager, endpoint security at McAfee. “McAfee is committed to leveraging its worldwide footprint to meet customers’ needs and this latest release of Virus Scan Enterprise is a testament to that as validated by multiple independent reviews. McAfee VSE is the world’s most widely adopted anti-malware product deployed to over 60 million corporate endpoints.”

McAfee Differentiators:

· McAfee Management for Optimized Virtualized Environments (MOVE): a vendor-independent platform in which McAfee and partners can provide technology specifically designed for virtualized environments. Unlike other approaches which lock users into one virtualization vendor, McAfee MOVE can be used to optimize security in VMware, Microsoft HyperV and Citrix environments. In addition, all virtualized security products are managed by the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform, providing a unified view of all endpoints, whether they are virtual or physical.

· McAfee Global Threat Intelligence: a cloud based threat intelligence system that uses over 100 million sensors in 120 countries to continuously scan for emerging threats, then passes protection information to McAfee endpoint and network products deployed worldwide. The Global Threat Intelligence cloud matches incoming data streams with known or suspected threats and returns to the supported products unique intelligence on what is happening at each touch point. Unlike other cloud based threat intelligence systems, McAfee uses more intelligence techniques than any other competing system, including; File, Web, Message and Network Connection Reputation and Web Category.
