According to the security firm, these suites are the first to link security from chip to OS to applications, protecting against new threat vectors and bringing critical visibility to risk management.
The suites are the first to include McAfee Deep Defender, a rootkit protection based on hardware-enhanced security jointly developed by Intel and McAfee, dynamic whitelisting, risk intelligence, and real-time security management. By including mobile device management and support for Macs and Linux, McAfee suites help businesses of all sizes protect devices, data and applications.
Security staff can benefit from the extended span of coverage managed within a single console. IT administrators can see efficient installation in minutes, not hours, to ease deployment. End users benefit from higher performance scanning that minimises the potential overhead of effective protection.
McAfee also believes its competitive pricing meets the needs of budget-minded buyers while delivering significant value for customers with mission-critical security needs. Finally, new incentives and affordable pricing engage the channel to help businesses with different budgets to adopt these unique products for protection and performance.
Modern threats start with an ever-increasing stream of phishing, malicious web pages, rootkits, and compromised devices. These initial contacts can turn into persistent, multi-stage, targeted attacks. The explosion of devices multiplies the chance of an attack affecting the mobile workforce, who can unknowingly endanger the business and systems when reconnecting to the corporate network. McAfee tackles these obstacles with its Complete Endpoint Protection suites that target every phase of stealthy malware and persistent attacks.
Candace Worley, senior VP and general manager of endpoint security at McAfee, said: "A few years ago, McAfee created the first security suites. We remain a market leader in what is estimated by IDC to be a $2bn market in 2013. That’s more than half of all endpoint security sales.
"Now, through performance and automation enhancements to our existing market-leading defences and integration of distinctive and compelling new protections, McAfee suites again define a new level of endpoint protection — one that is firing on all cylinders: speed, security, simplicity, and value."
