Secure Virtualization

Proven, comprehensive protection for both physical and virtual environments

The threats to virtual machines extend beyond the security risks of physical systems, yet the majority of organizations deploying virtualization have no formal approach to virtual security. McAfee helps you safely derive the full benefit of virtualization technology with the industry’s most complete and scalable security solution for both physical and virtual environments, centrally managed by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™). McAfee provides customized protection for online and offline virtual machines that strengthens security, lowers operational costs, and simplifies compliance.

Overview:

Key Benefits

  • Investment protection—Protect and enforce security policies across physical and virtual environments to guarantee virtualization's ROI in energy savings, lower capital costs, and increased hardware utilization
  • Strong, proven protection—Defend your virtual servers with proven anti-virus, anti-spyware, and intrusion prevention that proactively removes threats, extends coverage for new risks, and reduces the cost of managing outbreaks
  • Security for offline virtual images—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
  • Fewer 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 improved 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
  • Simplified 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
