Desktop Firewall EN CD 10u pp+1Yr Connect (P.1c)
McAfee® Desktop Firewall proactively protects network desktop clients against new threats that anti-virus software cannot defeat alone. Combining comprehensive network and application firewall capabilities with intrusion detection, Desktop Firewall prevents clients from sending or receiving traffic- or application-borne threats. It also precludes trusted applications from being used to spread attacks across the network. Desktop Firewall is fully integrated with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® for scalable, centralized management and reporting.
Key Benefits
Proactive prevention of threats that anti-virus alone can’t stop – Desktop Firewall filters all incoming and outgoing traffic, and controls applications, ports, and protocols to prevent attacks
Protection from network-borne viruses – Authorized applications are managed and monitored to prevent their being used to send or receive threats across the network
Shielding from unwanted applications – Spyware and other potentially dangerous programs can be prevented from running or hooking into other programs
Exclusion of insecure clients – A quarantine mode keeps unprotected or inadequately shielded clients from communicating over the network
Protection for mobile users – Desktop Firewall supports a wide range of protocols, including those used by mobile users accessing the corporate network via the Interent .
