New Security Suites Help Provide
Cost-Effective, Customized Protection Against New Malware and
Exploits
McAfee, part of Intel Security, today announced a new line of
security suites that provide small and medium-sized businesses
(SMBs) with a simple, flexible and cost-effective way to safeguard
both their data and devices. McAfee Small Business Security suite
is optimized for businesses with up to 25 devices. For larger
businesses, with up to 250 devices, McAfee Endpoint Protection
Essential for SMB and McAfee Endpoint Protection Advanced for SMB
are designed to protect devices and data while offering new cloud
capabilities for additional management options. These suites will
also help businesses improve user productivity, while providing
protection against malware and exploits.
According to National Small Business Association, the average
cyber-attack among small businesses costs $8,699.48.1 Today’s
cybercriminals, like bullies, tend to focus on the easiest targets
with the weakest security resources to steal precious data and
potentially infiltrate larger enterprises. Small businesses often
lack IT resources, but are faced with the same security issues as
large corporations who have specialized IT teams. To defend against
cybercriminals, McAfee offers commercial-grade SMBs security
solutions to extend seamlessly across devices and data.
“Nearly every day we hear about data breaches affecting some of
the world’s largest and well-known brands,” said Candace Worley,
senior vice president and general manager of Endpoint Security at
McAfee, part of Intel Security. “What often gets overlooked are the
small Main Street businesses that are plagued with the same
security issues, but often with far more devastating
consequences.”
McAfee Small Business Security is customized for small
businesses and offers protection for PCs, Macs as well as Android
smartphones and tablets from viruses, malware and online threats. A
simple, centralized dashboard is easily accessible from the cloud
so businesses can manage and monitor their security subscription.
It also offers firewall, email and web protection, creating a
perimeter of defenses to help keep threats out before they get to a
device. McAfee Small Business Security also includes award-winning,
AV-test certified PC and mobile security.
For larger, growing businesses, McAfee Endpoint Protection
Essential for SMB and McAfee Endpoint Protection Advanced for SMB
utilize new, next generation endpoint protection technologies to
secure desktops, laptops, Macs, servers and mobile devices with
superior protection over endpoint, web and email. This world-class
protection is managed by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator – now
available in cloud-based or premises-based versions to easily
automate security management with increased flexibility.
McAfee Endpoint Protection Essential for SMB provides
traditional defenses such as endpoint, firewall and web protection,
helping shield business data from cybercriminals. With new
technologies, like smart virus scanning, impact to employee
productivity is reduced. Access protection limits potential damage
and restricts access to folders designated confidential in the
event of a cyber-attack. McAfee Endpoint Protection Advanced for
SMB offers the same components of the Essential suite, plus email
security to reduce spam and phishing attacks, encryption to guard
critical business information, and offers visibility & control
for mobile devices.
“Security threats don’t discriminate by organizational size and
for SMBs whose employees use multiple devices it’s getting more
crucial to have best in class security solutions,” said Gary Davis,
chief consumer security evangelist at McAfee, part of Intel
Security. “McAfee’s SMB products give businesses peace of mind and
allow them to focus on growing profits, instead of worrying about
whether or not their business is secure.”
