McAfee has surpassed its 1000th intrusion prevention customer, demonstrating exponential growth for the McAfee IPS solutions and continued market adoption in the area of proactive security solutions.
McAfee IntruShield network-based IPS and Entercept host-based IPS deliver unparalleled proactive protection against known, zero-day and encrypted attacks and provide customers with unparalleled protection by accurately identifying and blocking threats in real-time.
Today's announcement further validates McAfee's market leadership with the largest installed base of IPS customers in the industry, and follows an abundance of recognition from leading industry analysts, product awards and third-party endorsements, making McAfee the most renowned provider of IPS solutions and the product-of-choice for organizations of all sizes that require proactive network security to defend their networks against today's threats and attacks.
"BNSF Railway has purchased and is in the process of deploying McAfee IntruShield to ensure that our network is protected from all known and zero day threats, and deploying these solutions enhances our overall return on investment," said Greg Britz, manager of telecom services at BNSF. "We evaluated several solutions and found that McAfee can provide the proactive security solutions needed to protect our systems and network from attacks. McAfee's security expertise was mature and provided the solution to fit our enterprise security needs. McAfee offered security features unavailable in competing products."
As security threats continue to become increasingly difficult to detect, and the sophistication of the deployment of malicious code escalates, customers require best-of-breed, next-generation technology to address the constantly-evolving threat. While other security vendors work to introduce their first IPS products, or provide only detection-based products, McAfee eclipses its competition by providing next-generation IPS solutions to the entire spectrum of customers-including consumer, SMBs, large enterprises and service providers. Along with its full suite of market-leading Risk Management solutions, McAfee delivers the most comprehensive portfolio of IPS solutions to proactively protect desktops, servers, wireless devices and enterprise-wide network and security infrastructure.
