McAfee, Inc. releases first data protection offering with powerful encryption technology

With unmatched scalability and centralized management, the new solution includes endpoint encryption, device control, and host data loss prevention (DLP).

McAfee Total Protection for Data was created in response to the growing number of regulations placed on enterprises that require them to ensure customer privacy and data confidentiality. McAfee protects data regardless of how the data is used, stored, accessed or located. Customers receive comprehensive monitoring and protection of all communication channels including corporate E-mail, personal E-mail, instant messaging, file transfer, P2P file sharing, Web mail and other applications. The inclusion of end-point encryption protects businesses if a computer is ever lost or stolen.

'Now enterprises can ensure that sensitive data can not be used by those that are not authorized to see the data,' said Patrick Hayati, Regional Director McAfee Middle East. 'The new solution is the first offering to truly protect businesses from the ramifications of data loss.'

Completely Integrated Endpoint Protection
Through integration with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO™), Total Protection for Data offers completely integrated end-to-end endpoint protection. Customers can leverage their existing agent and management console for easy deployment, management and reporting. The solution is customized to meet customers' current needs and scales to meet future needs.

Centralized policy management and enforcement keeps control of data security where it belongs - in the hands of security experts.
