McAfee Entercept Management System
Next Generation Host Intrusion Prevention!
The McAfee® Entercept® Management System provides comprehensive enterprise-class management for all Entercept agents. The single management server and geographically distributed consoles reduce security complexity and supply a scalable, robust, and highly available infrastructure. With centralized policy administration and support for multiple platforms, the Entercept Management System enables consistent, reliable security for critical servers and desktops.
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
Product Features
Comprehensive policy enforcement
Security administrators create, enforce, and maintain customizable policies for applications and groups across Windows, HP-UX, and Solaris platforms
Advanced management tools
Dashboard screen provides ‘at-a-glance’ summary of system status and current threats; Audit trail information records all configuration changes
"Global" security monitoring and event display
Centralized storage of security events from agents around the world enables comprehensive view of system security posture from geographically distributed locations.
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® 3.5 deployment and monitoring
Optional deployment and monitoring with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 3.5
Integrated host- and network-based IPS event monitoring
IntruShield 2.1 Manager imports and correlates Entercept Agent alerts with IntruShield Sensor alerts for a consolidated, system-wide view of network and system security status
Reporting and data analysis
The management server provides searching, filtering, and grouping tools that minimize computer security and enable security administrators to focus on relevant information as well as identify security trends using customizable report templates.
Broad set of response and notification options
The management server can send various notifications, including email and pager alerts, SNMP traps, "spawn a process," and other warnings in response to security events.
User-defined safeguards
Users can easily create custom policies to match their environment with wizard-based interfaces for creation of custom protection rules and attack signatures.
