Solution Brief
McAfee 15 Minutes to a Secure BusinessDaily security practices
Information security threats are becoming more complex and pervasive. New forms of malware, viruses, malicious spam, and phishing scams are developed every day, putting companies at risk of losing their sensitive data. These advanced threats leave IT professionals, particularly in small or mid-sized organizations, overwhelmed as they try to keep their business secure.
1In the broad scope of an IT professional's responsibilities, security is just a small piece. In fact, research shows that despite evolving threats, small and mid-sized businesses can only dedicate one hour per week to IT security. Particularly if multiple disparate security products are in place, managing company-wide security can be a daunting task. McAfee helps keep these businesses protected with a smart, simple, secure, solution designed for Žsmall and medium-sized enterprise customers. McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business provides comprehensive endpoint, email, web, and data security-all in a single, integrated suite. Best of all, the suite is available from one vendor at one price, making it affordable and easy to manage.
Total Protection in 15 Minutes DailyMcAfee understands that over-extended IT staff may struggle to keep up with daily or weekly security duties. That's why, to complement McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business, we have developed McAfee 15 Minutes to a Secure Business. This unique approach to security management gives IT professionals a roadmap for ensuring a safe and secure IT environment, even with limited time. The set of daily practices from McAfee helps IT staff manage their business efficiently by breaking down key responsibilities into manageable tasks totaling just 15 minutes per day. By outlining daily, weekly, and monthly actions, and including checks and balances, the action plan helps IT departments prioritize activities and stay on top of security management. Making it simpler for IT to execute critical steps in a small amount of time helps the organization improve its overall security posture. These practices are based on deep expertise and understanding of small and medium-sized enterprise customer environments, key security risks, and McAfee products. For instance, it is important to monitor prevalent threats including new multi-vector malware, or review web traffic to prevent users from unknowingly putting the company at risk. It also enables IT staff to efficiently monitor spam-borne attacks and set prevention policies, as well as to monitor policy compliance across security platforms with simple dashboard reviews. One of the most devastating threats to businesses today is data theft. Whether the loss of information comes from within your organization or through the theft of equipment, such as laptops, the consequences can be severe and can have a far-reaching impact. Following quick and easy practices outlined on the 15 Minutes calendar, lost or stolen laptops and devices can immediately be locked to secure the information they contain.
