When it comes to end-point security, McAfee (NYSE:MFE) is at the top of the game. The December 2007 Gartner report put McAfee at the top of the magic quadrant for endpoint security.
What really sets McAfee apart is their centralized management product ePolicy Orchestrator. One agent, many products -- even non-McAfee products. Whether it's managing 50 machines or 100,000, ePO has proved itself in the workplace with it's flexibility and scalability. Now on version 4.0, ePO has moved to an entirely web-based system, years ahead of the competition.
McAfee offers more than just anti-virus and anti-spyware. Their line card has grown to include many more high-end technologies. Network IPS, Host IPS, Data Loss Prevention, Anti-Spam, Vulnerability Scanners, Risk Assessment Managers, Mobile Security, Remediation/Patch Managers, Compliance and Policy Auditors and Encryption.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Data Loss Prevention
Prevent accidental and malicious loss of confidential data. Safeguard against loss of customer data, employee information, and intellectual property from all possible channels (email, webmail, P2P applications, IM, Skype, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Wi-Fi, USB, CD, DVD, printers, fax, and removable storage). Don't let unauthorized transfer of information put you at risk of noncompliance. Universal protection prevents data loss at work, at home, and on the road.
