McAfee, part of Intel Security, has announced a new line of security suites that provide small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with a simple, flexible and cost-effective way to safeguard both their data and devices. McAfee Small Business Security suite is optimized for businesses with up to 25 devices. For larger businesses, with up to 250 devices, McAfee Endpoint Protection Essential for SMB and McAfee Endpoint Protection Advanced for SMBare designed to protect devices and data while offering new cloud capabilities for additional management options. These suites will also help businesses improve user productivity, while providing protection against malware and exploits.
According to the National Small Business Association, the average cyber-attack among small businesses costs $8,699.48. Today’s cybercriminals, like bullies, tend to focus on the easiest targets with the weakest security resources to steal precious data and potentially infiltrate larger enterprises. Small businesses often lack IT resources, but are faced with the same security issues as large corporations who have specialized IT teams. To defend against cybercriminals, McAfee offers commercial-grade SMBs security solutions to extend seamlessly across devices and data.
“Nearly every day, we hear about data breaches affecting some of the world’s largest and well-known brands. What often gets overlooked are the small Main Street businesses that are plagued with the same security issues, but often with far more devastating consequences,” said Candace Worley, Senior Vice-President & General Manager of Endpoint Security, McAfee, part of Intel Security.
For larger, growing businesses, McAfee Endpoint Protection Essential for SMB and McAfee Endpoint Protection Advanced for SMB utilize new, next generation endpoint protection technologies to secure desktops, laptops, Macs, servers and mobile devices with superior protection over endpoint, web and email. This world-class protection is managed by McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator – now available in cloud-based or premises-based versions to easily automate security management with increased flexibility.
