SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc.
(NYSE: MFE) -- Lackluster consumer confidence in online purchases accounts
for the overwhelming majority of terminated transactions. To help boost
consumer confidence in purchasing online, McAfee announced today that
numerous large e-retailers have embraced McAfee SECURE(TM) service. Less
than a month after it was launched, McAfee SECURE -- the industry's most
comprehensive certification service -- has been adopted by brands such as
PETCO, PC Mall, Footsmart, K-Swiss, Etoys.com and others. These companies
understand that displaying the McAfee SECURE Trustmark on their sites is an
important step in building consumer trust in shopping online.
"It's clear that our customers have a higher level of confidence in
shopping at PETCO.com because we carry the McAfee SECURE Trustmark," said
Katie Grisko, e-commerce product manager at PETCO. "McAfee SECURE helps
build trust with our customers, which ultimately increases our online sales
and brand loyalty."
McAfee SECURE for Web Sites, leveraging Hacker Safe technology,
combines daily vulnerability scanning, rigorous security testing, and
business practice review for Web site owners and online retailers, making
it the most comprehensive certification service in the industry. With the
McAfee SECURE for Web Sites service, e-commerce merchants can also
demonstrate they are Payment Card Industry Certified.
"McAfee is committed to delivering the secure Internet for consumers
and with multiple levels of Web site security testing, McAfee SECURE
provides e-retailers with the most comprehensive protection service in the
industry," said Tim Dowling, vice president, Web Security Group at McAfee.
"The decision by so many e-retailers to choose the McAfee SECURE service as
a safeguard for their customers is a ringing endorsement of our products
and our ongoing commitment to protect the personal identity and credit card
information of consumers shopping online. With the McAfee SECURE Trustmark,
we help consumers eliminate the guesswork in determining the Web sites that
are secure and those that are not, thereby restoring their confidence in
the e-commerce industry."
