McAfee announces new security suite

McAfee Tuesday announced the release of the McAfee(r) Total Protection (ToPS) for Secure Business, a suite that offers SMBs complete security in one easy-to-manage package. A set of McAfee daily practices also released Tuesday.

McAfee ToPS for Secure Business includes critical elements of security that most medium-size businesses need. It integrates security for endpoints, e-mail, Web, and data while providing infrastructure. It also includes McAfee's new Artemis technology, and scheduled update of threat signatures to be installed on the machine-significantly, helping companies reduce their exposure to emerging threats.

"SMBs are under daily attack from an ever-growing list of security threats, including new forms of malware, spam and data loss," said Chris Christiansen, program vice president, Security Products and Services, IDC. "Even though many SMBs believe they have nothing worth stealing, IDC believes that every part of an SMB network and computing infrastructure is useful to criminals. Increasingly, we recommend that SMB customers implement their security protection in suites, rather than discrete products. This enables them to get the best value for their money, have a single vendor to work with, and require less administration effort and training."
