McAfee says as the number of Macs being used by businesses and government agencies increases, the more Macs are vulnerable to malware, viruses, spyware, phishing and exploits.
"The demand for Macintosh in the enterprise is steadily growing, yet organizations are either not using any security technology for these endpoints, or they are using a standalone, non-manageable anti-virus protection solution," said Peter Lincoln, IT director at Aquent.
"We have to ensure that all our endpoints meet our security compliance requirements no matter what operating system they are running."
McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac Features:
· Single Integrated Management - Use of the same console to manage Mac and Windows endpoints, while ePolicy Orchestrator's reporting enables at-a-glance security reporting.
· Anti-Virus - The always-on protection and on-access scanning provide immediate protection from viruses, worms, Trojans and other malware plus provides selective scanning functions to improve system performance.
· Anti-Spyware - The extensive database of known spyware and unwanted programs enables the neutralization of spyware before it self-installs and spreads - potentially stealing personal information.
· Application Protection - Provides the ability to deny and control applications that can run on a Mac and prevents malicious programs from modifying existing applications.
· System Firewall - The inbound firewall stops network-based attacks from getting to the Mac, and the outbound firewall prevents spyware and other data-stealing programs from sending personal data to cyber criminals.
