McAfee Endpoint Security

In an interconnected world where threats lurk at each corner, a robust security solution is required, more so if we are talking about the business environment, where information leakage or data corruption can have a serious impact on the affected company. McAfee Endpoint Security provides a sturdy defense mechanism for network computers against zero-day attacks, or malware transmitted via email and the Internet.

McAfee Endpoint Security comes in two editions, one for centrally managed computers (ePO managed), and the other for self-managed workstations. It is easy to deploy and configure and features an intuitive administration panel for you to monitor the status of its modules, check the activity logs, and browse the quarantined files.

While the workstation is monitored in real time by the client app of McAfee Endpoint Security, you can also start a new on-demand scan anytime you consider fit. You have two options to choose from, namely quick or full scans. Custom file analysis is not available, but you can scan a file or a folder on the system using right-click scanning.

There are three separate modules McAfee Endpoint Security comes with, namely Threat Prevention, Firewall and Web Control. It's easy to figure out what each does, all working together to detect potential dangers before they reach your PC.

McAfee Endpoint Security features both signature-based and behavioral detection engines, which complement each other to provide a powerful protection shield.

When a suspicious file is spotted, McAfee Endpoint Security warns you and prompts you for action, logging the event at the same time. The quarantine area safely stores dangerous files until you decide to remove them.

With a firewall that filters network traffic and Internet security features that protect you during online browsing sessions, McAfee Endpoint Security finds its place right next to its competitors. Moreover, thanks to the Threat Intelligence module, details about a file's reputation can be instantly shared across the network, building a security system that gets better and better.
