Key Benefits
Proactive risk mitigation – McAfee Entercept detects and blocks zero-day and known attacks  before they can compromise critical assets, rather than simply detecting attacks after the fact Silent Installation and Updates – The Entercept Management System deploys and updates agents silently, requiring no user-intervention or reboot, nor prompting of end-users for response to security events, which can cause catastrophic security breaches Comprehensive protection – The Entercept Management System ensures protection through uniform policy enforcement across mixed server environments reducing security complexity; it controls, updates, and monitors applications and user groups across Windows, HP-UX, and Solaris platforms Superior accuracy – Organizations can quickly create custom rules with the policy wizard tool to match their unique applications and processes, eliminating the possibility of blocking business-critical traffic Scalability – Deploy and manage up to 10,000 agents with a single McAfee Entercept management server; optional deployment and monitoring with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® 3.5 Lower total cost of ownership  –  Entercept lowers costs by mitigating patch criticality, reduces  the number of  resources needed to deploy and maintain the protection, and  maximizes system integrity and availability
