McAfee Launches Security Risk Management Software

McAfee Inc. has launched an early version of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0, the next installment of its security management software.

The new version, available to the public in beta includes improved Web-based controls, configurable reports and enhancements to the reporting features. ePolicy Orchestrator lets IT personnel easily manage multiple security and compliance applications and suites, and is designed to integrate better, save time and reduce cost.

The number of individual applications organisations need to address threats and address risk and compliance has surged, making it virtually impossible for security teams to manually correlate and integrate all the data needed for an effective and timely response. With ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0, McAfee delivers real time information and application integration for network, PC and server security.

ePolicy Orchestrator has over 30,000 customers and nearly 54 million PCs and servers under management. ePolicy Orchestrator is an part of McAfee Total Protection, providing central management for comprehensive system protection as well as for network security and compliance management.

"Security solutions must work together intelligently," said Tim Boisvin, end point protection systems manager, the Boeing Company. "McAfee ePO is essential to our security infrastructure. We now have real-time visibility into actionable system host details, which enables us to quickly detect risks and deploy counter measures across our system and network security environment."
