Benefits and Features
Benefits:
-
Protect your investment in virtualization
Protect and enforce security policies across physical and virtual environments to guarantee virtualization's ROI in energy savings, lower capital costs, and hardware utilization. -
Rely on strong proven protection
Protect your virtual servers with proven anti-virus, anti-spyware, and intrusion prevention, using the award-winning McAfee scanning engine that proactively stops and removes threats, extends coverage for new security risks, and reduces the cost of managing outbreak responses. -
Keep offline virtual images secure
Ensure that offline system images pose no security threat when brought back online, and reduce the time and effort previously spent on installing security patches and updates. -
Avoid business interruptions
Reduce your exposure to zero-day attacks, fend off new exploits, and save time with automatic vulnerability shielding to protect business productivity. -
Lower management costs and improve visibility
Deploy a single console across multiple security products, reducing costs and complexity, so that when threats and regulations change, policies can be updated quickly, accurately, and consistently. -
Simplify internal and regulatory compliance
Make it easier for your enterprise to meet reporting and auditing requirements and prove to all stakeholders that security measures are in place for internal and regulatory compliance.
Features:
- On-access scanning for spyware and malware
Prevent malware, rootkits, spyware, bots, Trojans and other unwanted programs from installing and spreading; McAfee technology examines threat behavior and quickly stops known and undiscovered threats before they can compromise your security. - Protection for offline virtual images
Eliminate frantic patching and updating by automatically scanning, cleaning, and fully securing virtual images with updated signatures while offline, to ensure that the system images pose no security threat when brought back online. - Zero-day threat protection
Block unwanted activity and proactively protect against known and unknown threats. This solution combines signature and behavioral intrusion prevention system (IPS) protection with a stateful firewall and application control. - Access protection rules
Prevent changes to files, registry keys, and utilities within virtual machines, and McAfee's patented behavior-based technology prevents hackers from inserting malicious code into systems during buffer-overflow attacks. - Single management console
Keep protection up to date, configure and enforce compliance with protection policies, and monitor security status 24/7, all from one centralized, web-based console - Compliance verification
Use robust and flexible policy auditing capabilities to find and report vulnerabilities, service misconfigurations, and policy violations on all your endpoints.
Description:
One of the key advantages of virtual servers is that enterprise applications are easier to provision and deploy than with physical servers. But virtual environments are not only susceptible to the same threats as physical systems; they are also vulnerable to additional threats that exploit virtualization. Companies ordinarily deploy security for physical servers, but may be rushing into dangerous practices by deploying virtual servers without a plan to secure them.
McAfee® Total Protection for Virtualization is the industry's most complete and scalable security solution with integrated, centralized management for security and compliance. It lowers operational costs and reduces the time and resources required for managing security of both physical and virtual servers. It also simplifies and helps ensure greater compliance to internal policies and key industry regulations.
The solution protects virtual servers and critical data by enforcing security policies for your virtual systems, so that your enterprise can safely benefit from virtualization. It offers comprehensive protection including:
- Automatically scan, clean, and update virtual images without having to bring them online to ensure that the system images pose no security threat when finally brought back online
- Proactively stop and remove threats, extends coverage for new security risks, and reduces the cost of managing outbreak responses by detecting and cleaning malware such as viruses, worms, rootkits, bots, and Trojans
- Prevent malware from making changes to files, registry keys, and utilities within virtual machines for greater protection.
- Use unique on-access scanning to identify, proactively block, and safely eliminate spyware and other potentially unwanted programs.
- Monitor and block unwanted activity and proactively protects against known and unknown zero-day threats by combining signature and behavioral intrusion prevention system (IPS) protection with a stateful firewall and application control.
McAfee Total Protection for Virtualization is managed by ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) from an integrated, centralized web-based console. ePO dramatically simplifies installation and maintenance of defenses and associated rules and policies. Administrators can keep protection up to date, configure and enforce protection policies, and monitor security status 24/7.
