New McAfee Total Protection for Network Offers Powerful E-mail, Web and
Intrusion Protection in One Suite
LONDON, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- INFOSECURITY EUROPE --
McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today announced McAfee(R) Total Protection for
Network, a new suite designed to end the "appliance and product fatigue"
associated with deploying, maintaining and managing multiple security
solutions. McAfee Total Protection for Network includes the McAfee M-8000
Network Security Platform, formerly known as IntruShield and the McAfee
Content Security Blade Server, announced separately today. This
announcement further demonstrates McAfee's commitment to being the leader
in network security offerings.
"As enterprises deploy advanced network features and capabilities,
security challenges are expanded by a complex threat environment that
requires additional security solutions. However, administering multiple
security solutions has become unmanageable," said Charles Kolodgy, IDC
research director for Secure Content and Threat Management. "Companies
looking to simplify network security without compromising network or
security performance should consider suite solutions that are integrated
and centrally managed. IDC believes that IT professionals value best of
suite security solutions because of ease of use, manageability, and
performance."
With each new security threat, new appliances emerge to help companies
combat the challenge. As a result, organizations have found themselves in
the position of managing multiple point appliances, which decreases
efficiency and increases cost of ownership. McAfee has released Total
Protection for Network to help organizations consolidate all their network
security needs in one comprehensive suite to conduct business more quickly
and efficiently.
"Our customers tell us they are frustrated with managing so many point
products, while the costs of doing so continues to mount," said Christopher
Bolin, chief technology officer for McAfee. "With McAfee Total Protection
for Network, we are introducing a single solution that protects the
data-and everything else that transits over a company's network-ending
appliance fatigue. By reducing the number of appliances in their
environments, organizations save money and contribute to more
environmentally friendly computing practices."
