Industry Member Profile

McAfee, Inc., headquartered in Santa Clara, California, is the world's largest dedicated security technology company. McAfee's state and local government security portfolio delivers industry-leading technology and 24/7 Global Threat Intelligence to safeguard your systems and data against all known and emerging threats. Our solutions help you govern your network and data, protect sensitive and regulated information, meet regulatory requirements, identify and mitigate policy violations, and proactively and continuously secure your network against known and emerging threat vectors. And you can manage your entire security system from a centralized, web-based platform that boosts efficiency, cuts costs, and speeds proof of compliance.

  • Cut costs and boost protection with a single security solution
    Count on McAfee to deliver seamless protection from desktops to network edge. This full-spectrum coverage not only ensures greater security than patchwork systems, it unifies security and compliance activities under a single set of policies and processes to reduce administrative tasks and save you time and money.
  • Discover and protect your most sensitive data
    Identify sensitive data in locations you may not have anticipated. Count on McAfee tools to safeguard that data against viruses, spyware, spam, theft, phishing, and hackers who prey on sensitive information in overlooked and vulnerable areas.
  • Manage your security - and prove compliance - from a central platform
    Streamline your system administration with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform, the centralized management console that enables you to monitor your entire network at a glance. With the ePO platform, you can also set policies, perform audits, and prove compliance with data privacy regulations and other government mandates using the latest open protocols and regulatory line items.
  • Safeguard sensitive data wherever it travels
    Protect data in transit via email, over the Internet, or on USB drives or other portable devices with safety policies such as automatic, transparent data encryption. When you secure your data, you liberate your mobile workforce and encourage safe, efficient collaboration between government employees and contractors. If mobile devices are lost, you can prove they were properly encrypted beforehand, making their data inaccessible and their loss a non-event for compliance.
  • Coach users on safe data procedures
    Help your employees and contractors safeguard data and learn security best practices with policies that trigger alerts when users inadvertently jeopardize sensitive information.
  • Count on 24/7 security vigilance in a Web 2.0 world
    Rely on McAfee Labs, our 24/7 Global Threat Intelligence team, to ensure your protections remain strong and up-to-date even as applications and environments change.
  • Accelerate time to protection
    Speed rollouts and updates with our automated discovery, proven controls, and centralized management. Get up and running at maximum effectiveness in weeks, not months.
