Managed Desktop Firewall

Features/Benefits

Most companies have no idea that once connected to the Internet, their critical business data is widely available to intruders and hackers that can employ malicious attacks to gain access to business computers. Intrusions that disrupt critical business applications are far too common and can be devastating to your operations. And retaining an IT staff to manage and monitor your desktop firewalls can be costly. McAfee lets you focus on your core business strategies by offering around-the-clock desktop firewall protection that monitors your personal computer's activities. As Managed Desktop Firewall blocks unauthorized network access and stops known hacks, Trojans, and Denial of Service (DOS) attacks - it also forms a barrier between critical business data and the malicious attacks from intruders.
