New McAfee Web Security Solution in the Cloud Eliminates Costs and Complexity of Traditional Solutions.

This is the industry’s first software-as-a-service (SaaS) Web security solution providing protection from malware and other Web-borne threats without any on-premise requirements.

McAfee Web Protection Service includes the following features and benefits:

• Anti-Malware protection: Unlike traditional security solutions that rely only on the known  viruses or signatures, McAfee’s Anti-Malware protection uses several proactive, intent-based filters to stop today’s constantly changing Web 2.0 threats.
• Remote offices and user support: McAfee Web Protection Service enables corporate security policies to be centrally managed and enforced for all users, even when they are not behind the corporate firewall.
• Transparent user authentication: Authentication of users is transparently performed in the cloud without the use of any additional on-premise hardware or software.
• Flexible policy manager: The flexible policy manager allows organisations to implement specialised Web policies that work best with the needs and demands of each employee group.
• Informative reports and dashboards: Informative reports and dashboards provide insight into how employees are using the Web and what threats have been derailed.

With McAfee Web Protection Service, customers will benefit from reduced upfront costs as well as lower, predictable subscription expenses.

Rather than installing, patching, upgrading and maintaining on premise solutions for Web protection, IT administrative staff can be redirected to other important IT needs.
