McAfee upgrades SMB security solutions

BANGALORE, INDIA: McAfee on Monday announced a series of updated security solutions specifically designed to meet the needs of small to medium sized businesses (SMBs).

McAfee claimed in a press release that it will offer SMBs the same level of protection as enterprises in an easy to manage solution that is tailored for the needs of their cost-constrained budgets.

“SMBs face the challenge of increased threats including spam, phishing, viruses and Web attacks that can easily disrupt the network and the livelihood of the business,” said Gavin Struthers, senior vice president of worldwide channels at McAfee.

“Without constant updates, security software becomes obsolete. Keeping the business continuously up to date requires total protection against known and unknown threats. McAfee understands the unique needs of the SMB,” he added.

SMB solutions:

McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection Suite: Defends the devices on an SMB's network on all attack routes.

McAfee SaaS Endpoint and Email Protection Suite: Adds protection from malicious email content before it enters the network, email continuity to ensure uninterrupted access to email, and client-sideweb category filtering

McAfee SaaS Total Protection Suite: Adds email encryption and pre-built compliance libraries to protect sensitive data and meet compliance requirements, and cloud-based web filtering for antivirus, antimalware, and category filtering to ensure unwanted content never makes it into the network

McAfee offers SMBs the same level of desktop and network protection as enterprises but with a solution tailored for SMB’s that lowers the complexity and cost.
