McAfee White Paper Sample

The IDC survey sponsored by McAfee revealed both concern and complacency among IT professionals who manage email security for organizations in North America. Of the nearly 60 percent who were achieving sub-optimal inbound email security compared to best practices, only three percent were dissatisfied with that performance. And while almost 90 percent were very concerned about data leakage over email, less than a third had implemented a solution. In part, this inaction seems due to the lack of a framework for evaluating available solutions to select those that are both robust and cost-effective.

Drawing on customer experience, the IDC white paper, data gathered from TrustedSource (McAfee’s global, multi-protocol reputation system), and third-party sources, this paper outlines today’s email threats and explains why most existing email security solutions are inadequate. It then proposes a solution framework—McAfee’s Seven Technologies for Advanced Mail Protection (STAMP).
