Threat Protection Designed for Small- to MediumSized Businesses—Just Add the Network!
For most small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), security
is a huge challenge. With systems connected to the Internet,
any company could fall victim to malicious threats like viruses,
worms, hacker attacks, spam, and inappropriate content.
SMBs face this reality every day, often with limited IT staff
juggling various projects and with limited expertise to maintain and implement them. For SMBs that want to stay in
control of their defenses—monitoring protection, ensuring
system compliance, and troubleshooting problems—this is
an especially difficult reality. Administrators want to keep
the destiny of their security in their own hands without the
complexity. Threat protection without a means to centrally
manage it is like a human body without a brain.
Just like large corporations, smaller businesses are highly
dependent on their IT infrastructures and the Internet for
day-to-day operations. As with large corporations, the small
company has to strike a balance between business and
security requirements. However, unlike large corporations,
small businesses often lack dedicated security knowledge
and are looking for simple ways to manage their threat
protection. The importance of a simple and rapid method of
deployment, policy management, and visibility is paramount.
Just Add the Network
McAfee®understands the unique challenges of small- to
medium-sized businesses and has designed the McAfee
SMB Edition solutions to simplify the complexity involved
with protecting SMB computing environments.
By integrating best-of-breed solutions with an easy-to-use,
centralized management tool, McAfee SMB Editions are a
simple, proactive approach to the deployment and ongoing
management of threat protection for your small- or mediumsized business.
Whether your security needs are isolated to the desktops and
file servers, or you need additional coverage that adds e-mail
protection, McAfee has the right, easy-to-manage suite to
meet your SMB protection requirements.
Solutions Designed for SMBs
Designed specifically with ease-of-use in mind for small- to
medium-sized businesses, McAfee SMB Editions provide two
solution suites for comprehensive threat protection. Focal to
these suites is McAfee ProtectionPilot,
™
a centralized tool to
guide you through the mystery of deploying, monitoring, and
managing threat protection, keeping it in place and up-to-date.
The award-winning McAfee VirusScan,

SMTP technologies then take over to stop malicious threats—viruses, worms, and trojans—in their tracks.
In addition, VirusScan delivers proactive protection from the
newest security threats, including potentially unwanted
programs (e.g., spyware), buffer overflow exploits, and
blended attacks. Administrators can then easily monitor all
systems for threat activity and update status within the
interactive security dashboard—protection is automatically
checked and updated, and any fine-tuning or configuration
changes are a breeze via the easy-to-navigate task menu.
