Growing businesses are plagued by the same risks as the largest enterprises, but they lack the IT resources, time, and budget to adequately protect themselves against today’s complex and sophisticated threats. They need to defend themselves against the same types of malware as large enterprises—Trojans and botnets; spam that’s often linked to phishing web sites, spyware, data loss, and theft; and exploits that can bring down their web sites.
A single hacker attack, a single misplaced laptop containing confidential data, a single infected device that accesses their network may be all it takes to bring down a medium business. The threat landscape is getting more complex and more sophisticated, and security challenges are growing by the day, so security that was good enough yesterday is no longer good enough today.
In a typical medium-size business with 50 to 1,000 employees, there is an average of only 1.8 IT professionals1 to handle day-to-day infrastructure and data center demands and security. IT professionals in these organi-zations are forced to wear many hats: hacker fighter, spam warrior, network defender, budget stretcher, problem solver, and IT first responder.
Medium businesses certainly want to be more effective and proactive at fighting malware and spam. They just wish they had a simpler way to manage and consolidate their security. And they want to work smarter because they can’t manage to work any harder. They’re already pushed to the limit. These organizations need big-company security without compromise—on a budget.
How does a medium business strike a balance between the need for comprehensive, uncompromising security on the one hand with tight budgets and an understaffed, overworked IT department on the other?

Easy-to-manage Enterprise-level Protection
McAfee solutions cover all the facets of security medium businesses need and want to address: desktop and server protection, data protection, email and web security, and compliance
Desktops and Servers
Remember the days when virus protection was synonymous with security? Today, anti-virus alone doesn’t make the grade. Medium businesses need desktop and server security that covers all of the bases all of the time.
Winner of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection award for three years in a row, McAfee provides continuous and comprehensive end-to-end protection. McAfee safeguards medium-size businesses against hackers, viruses, spyware, spam, and malware along with web security and host intrusion prevention, which provides a system firewall and signature- and behavior-based threat recognition. Network access control keeps noncompliant, infected, and misconfigured systems from accessing networks and introducing new threats. Policy auditing provides enhanced policy auditing functions to measure compliance for key industry mandates, and security policies at the desktops.
Both our installed solution and automated security-as-a-service are centrally managed. Our installed solution, McAfee Total Protection for Endpoint, is managed by the ePolicy Orchestrator console. Managing security on-premise allows for advanced control and flexibility of security policies. McAfee Total Protection Service, our security-as-a-solution, is managed from a web-based system, McAfee SecurityCenter. That means 24/7 visibility to security status in real time and at-a-glance reports displayed as graphics with all the details. And to make it even easier, there’s no expensive infrastructure investment, setup takes minutes, and updates are automatic.
