Verizon Business is launching a new Security-as-a-Service offering to help medium-sized businesses deal with growing cybersecurity threats. The offering, an integrated security suite from McAfee, provides five-way protection against cyberthreats for a monthly per-user fee. The five-way protection guards against network, endpoint, Web, data and e-mail security threats.
Verizon Business’ new security suite consists of two solutions for mid-market customers – McAfee Total Protection Service -Advanced and McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business software.
McAfee Total Protection Service is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for companies that do not want to purchase premises-based equipment or incur software installation and maintenance costs. McAfee manages the security infrastructure, offering:
- Web-based console – a self-service security management tool for quickly updating security policies and configurations via easy drag-and-drop icons. It is accessible 24 x 7.
- Rapid deployment – Because it is a cloud offering, customers can quickly deploy the solution to all users, in all locations.
- Robust protection – It offers virus, spyware, spam, firewall, safe searching and Web-filtering protections, as well as vulnerability assessments – at both the desktop- and server-level. The service is constantly updated and is engineered to combat the most aggressive existing and emerging security threats.
The second offering, McAfee Total Protection for Secure Business software, is well-suited for a security specialist or IT manager looking for a highly customizable and flexible solution. It resides on the customer’s corporate LAN, enabling more internal control over the solution.http://verizon.com/businesspower
