McAfee Updates Management Software

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- McAfee Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today announced the availability of an early version of ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0 (ePO), the next major release of its award-winning security management software.

The new version, available to the public in beta today, includes improved Web-based controls, configurable reports and enhancements to the reporting features. ePO lets IT personnel easily manage multiple security and compliance applications and suites, and is designed to integrate better, save time and reduce cost.

The number of individual applications organizations need to address threats and address risk and compliance has surged, making it virtually impossible for security teams to manually correlate and integrate all the data needed for an effective and timely response. With ePO 4.0, McAfee delivers real time information and application integration for network, PC and server security.

McAfee is the first to offer such a comprehensive and integrated security risk management approach. ePO 4.0 brings knowledge-driven security that is automated and actionable, letting organizations make efficient and effective threat protection and compliance management decisions.

ePO is the industry's most popular and respected security management technology with over 30,000 customers and nearly 54 million PCs and servers under management. ePO is an essential part of McAfee Total Protection, providing central management for comprehensive system protection, risk and compliance management and scalable network access control.

"Security solutions must work together intelligently," said Tim Boisvin, end point protection systems manager, the Boeing Company. "McAfee ePO is essential to our security infrastructure. We now have real-time visibility into actionable system host details, which enables us to quickly detect risks and deploy counter measures across our system and network security environment."
