Today, McAfee announced that the beta version of its system security policy enforcement solution, McAfee Policy Enforcer will be available later this month.
General availablitiy for McAfee Policy Enforcer is scheduled for early next year. It is designed to protect corporate network environments by blocking network access to managed and unmanaged end-point systems that do not comply with defined IT security policies.
"McAfee is 100% focused on helping its customers plan, execute and continuously improve their security posture," said McAfee director of product marketing, Steve Crutchfield.
"This product will integrate seamlessly with today's leading third party VPN, remote access, wireless and networking solutions, it will support our customers' environments across the world," added Crutchfield.
According to a press release, the solution will provide smart policy controls and granular agent and agentless assessment to ensure security application and patch compliance before allowing access to the network. Additional checks will also be performed to verify that high risk viruses and threats are not present on the endpoint system.
With Policy Enforcer, administrators will be able to manage anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, host intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and endpoint policy enforcement with one console.
