Introducing McAfee Security for Microsoft
SharePoint
McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint 2.5 (previously known as McAfee PortalShield) provides
comprehensive security for data stored on the following Microsoft SharePoint products:
• Microsoft SharePoint Server 2003/Windows SharePoint Services 2.0
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007/Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
• Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010/Windows SharePoint Foundation 2010

How McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint Works
Overview
Microsoft SharePoint is the business collaboration platform that provides comprehensive content
management and facilitates shared business processes. With Microsoft SharePoint, you can
combine content from different areas of an organization into a single search portal site and
allow users to find information they need in the course of their daily businesses; despite the
physical location of the information on your network.
However, any system that is designed to create, save, open, and store information can be
vulnerable to virus attacks.
McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint protects your SharePoint server by:
• Blocking viruses and other malicious code in real-time using McAfee's latest Artemis
technology.
• Removing banned file types and unwanted content from your server using the file
filtering/content scanning rules and actions you configure.
New Features
McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint 2.5 offers the following new features:
DescriptionFeatures

and 2010
McAfee's latest Artemis Technology safeguards your SharePoint Server by
providing real-time security from the ever-evolving threats.
Integration with McAfee Artemis
It enables the leverage of threat intelligence gathered by McAfee Labs to prevent
damage and data theft even before a signature or DAT update is available.
When a suspicious file is detected on a managed node protected by a McAfee
anti-malware product with Artemis, it connects to McAfee servers in real-time
and checks against the database. With real-time input from McAfee protected
systems, Artemis provides an "up to the minute" repository of malware samples
and information. If the suspicious file is found to be malicious, the managed node
will be notified and protected. The Artemis query and response happens in
milliseconds. Artemis does not replace signature files; it adds to the signature
files. The signature or DAT files are required for further actions such as cleaning
and repair.
McAfee Artemis protection is available only if your system is connected to the
Internet. Without network connectivity, managed nodes are protected by the
locally stored signatures or DAT files. The traffic generated by Artemis is low and
protection is available on a low speed connection too.
Refer to the McAfee KnowledgeBase article at
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB68631 for more
information on Artemis technology.
Incremental on-demand scans saves time by scanning only the newly added
documents in the SharePoint server without re-scanning the entire server.
Support for incremental and
resumable on-demand scans
In resumable on-demand scan, while a scan in progress is stopped, McAfee
Security for Microsoft SharePoint saves the current state of the scan task. When
the same task is started later, scan will resume from the last scanned folder. In
the event of a signature update while a scan is paused, McAfee Security for
Microsoft SharePoint provides an option to restart the scan with the updated
signature (DATs). A regular on-demand scan task can be scheduled by selecting
the Off option on the Configuration tab of the OnDemand Task wizard.
You can specify file extensions to be excluded from on-demand scanning.
CAUTION: Use this feature cautiously in case a file extension might be tampered
or changed.
Support for specifying file
extension based exclusions
You can deploy and manage McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint installation
across multiple managed nodes using McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0 or later.

How McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint
Works
McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint integrates with your SharePoint server and scans data
in real-time for:
•Viruses and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) — by comparing data with a list of known
viruses and suspected virus-like behavior.
• Banned file types/messages and unwanted content — based on the file filtering/content
scanning rules you configure.
Scanning takes place each time you create, save, or modify data on the SharePoint server. You
can also schedule scans to run immediately, at a particular time, or at regular intervals.

The file size will be 68 or 70 bytes.
NOTE: If you have any other security software installed on your server (such as McAfee

the file being identified by another security software.
3Start the McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint software and add the EICAR.TXT file to
your Microsoft SharePoint SharePoint server. The McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint
on-access scanner action is configured to Prevent Upload/Download of the Item and
