Technology Brief

Description:
Big network infrastructure vendors know a thing or two about networks. That’s why you trust them to build the world-class network on which your business runs. But should you buy security from them too?

McAfee Technology Brief Sample

So what qualities make a great security vendor? Unlike network infrastructure providers who have the luxury of linear, predictable, and controlled implementations, security vendors must respond instantly. We deal in a reality of unpredictability. Why? Because threats propagate with alarming speed. Attacks come out of nowhere. Very clever people spend their lives dreaming up ways to make themselves intimate with your data.

At McAfee, our research team discovers 4,500 new attacks every day—not recycled versions of old attacks, but entirely new, previously unseen viruses, Trojans, worms, and other malicious pieces of code designed to part you from your money. We uncover these attacks from data gathered by more than 7,000 sensors in 68 countries. We analyze millions of URLs and more than 3 billion email messages per day.

In short, our research lab is in perpetual motion, anticipating and addressing threats today. Not a year or a week from now. Right now, every moment of the day and night. And when we do find something bad, we’re on it. We use our industry-leading analysis and preventative measures to instantly update our products at the endpoint, on the network, and in the cloud. Protecting your assets—and your business—with impenetrable security.
