Threat Protection Designed for Small- to Medium-
Sized Businesses—Just Add the Network!
For most small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), security
is a huge challenge. With systems connected to the Internet,
any company could fall victim to malicious threats like viruses,
worms, hacker attacks, spam, and inappropriate content.
SMBs face this reality every day, often with limited IT staff
juggling various projects and with limited expertise to main-
tain and implement them. For SMBs that want to stay in
control of their defenses—monitoring protection, ensuring
system compliance, and troubleshooting problems—this is
an especially difficult reality. Administrators want to keep
the destiny of their security in their own hands without the
complexity. Threat protection without a means to centrally
manage it is like a human body without a brain.
Just like large corporations, smaller businesses are highly
dependent on their IT infrastructures and the Internet for
day-to-day operations. As with large corporations, the small
company has to strike a balance between business and
security requirements. However, unlike large corporations,
small businesses often lack dedicated security knowledge
and are looking for simple ways to manage their threat
protection. The importance of a simple and rapid method of
deployment, policy management, and visibility is paramount.
Just Add the Network
McAfee®understands the unique challenges of small- to
medium-sized businesses and has designed the McAfee
SMB Edition solutions to simplify the complexity involved
with protecting SMB computing environments.
By integrating best-of-breed solutions with an easy-to-use,
centralized management tool, McAfee SMB Editions are a
simple, proactive approach to the deployment and ongoing
management of threat protection for your small- or medium-
sized business.
Whether your security needs are isolated to the desktops and
file servers, or you need additional coverage that adds e-mail
protection, McAfee has the right, easy-to-manage suite to
meet your SMB protection requirements.
Solutions Designed for SMBs
Designed specifically with ease-of-use in mind for small- to
medium-sized businesses, McAfee SMB Editions provide two
solution suites for comprehensive threat protection. Focal to
these suites is McAfee ProtectionPilot,
™a centralized tool to
guide you through the mystery of deploying, monitoring, and
managing threat protection, keeping it in place and up-to-date.
The award-winning McAfee VirusScan,
®GroupShield, ®and
WebShield®SMTP technologies then take over to stop mali-
cious threats—viruses, worms, and trojans—in their tracks.
In addition, VirusScan delivers proactive protection from the
newest security threats, including potentially unwanted
programs (e.g., spyware), buffer overflow exploits, and
blended attacks. Administrators can then easily monitor all
systems for threat activity and update status within the
interactive security dashboard—protection is automatically
checked and updated, and any fine-tuning or configuration
changes are a breeze via the easy-to-navigate task menu.

Centralized Management
with McAfee ProtectionPilot
Designed for small- to medium-sized businesses, McAfee
ProtectionPilot is a centralized tool that provides a simple,
proactive approach to the deployment and ongoing manage-
ment of threat protection. Central to the McAfee range of
SMB Edition solutions, McAfee ProtectionPilot guides you
through the mystery of deploying, monitoring, and managing
threat protection, keeping it in place and up-to-date.
Maximum Protection, Effortless Maintenance
McAfee ProtectionPilot keeps a constant vigil, automati-
cally checking with McAfee for any new anti-virus/security
updates on an hourly basis. These updates are then
immediately deployed to all systems—no interaction is
required by the administrator.
Realtime Monitoring
Locating out-of-date systems and checking for virus
infections or potentially unwanted programs are effort-
less with the ProtectionPilot Interactive Security
Dashboard. At the click of a button, compliance- and
threat-detection activity are easily viewed for all
systems, groups, or individuals. More detailed informa-
tion is obtained easily with the click-through capability of
the interactive dashboard. Critical information is easily
viewed on the screen or printable for later reference.

Automatic Enforcement
ProtectionPilot is always at work, automatically enforcing
security protection settings and policies on each system.
In addition to regular checks for any policy or setting
changes with the central server, the ProtectionPilot agent
also enforces compliance on each local system—the
agent automatically checks the local system to ensure
the protection is correctly configured and installed.
Automatic policy enforcement helps ensure the protection
is effective and removes possible weak links like end
users who can change settings or disable critical protec-
tion software.
Do It Now! Management Task Menu
Ongoing administration
is made simple, quick,
and effective with the
Do it Now! approach of
the management task
menu. Tasks like deploy-
ing protection, scanning
for viruses, emergency
updating, enforcing
settings and policies,
and checking the status
of a system can all be
performed immediately
with the click of button
via the Management
Task menu.
No Security Knowledge Required
ProtectionPilot installation and management tasks are
all intelligently wizard-driven, taking the mystery out of
deployment and ongoing management of threat protec-
tion. Following installation, protection will be deployed
and settings and policies will be implemented—domains
are automatically recognized at initial installation—
making locating and deploying to systems across the
network simple and straightforward.
Award-Winning Threat Protection from the
Desktop to the Gateway
McAfee SMB Editions leverage the award-winning McAfee
VirusScan engine offering specialized protection for business
environments. Consistently recognized by independent test-
ing organizations as the world’s leading threat detection and
cleaning technology, the engine stops viruses and malicious
threats, and provides proactive protection against the
newest threats. McAfee has an enviable track record in
third-party tests for delivering effective detection and cleaning,
depending on your needs across desktops, file servers, and
e-mail servers.

McAfee Active VirusScan SMB Edition
McAfee Active VirusScan SMB Edition is the entry-point suite
offering threat protection for desktops and file servers. At the
heart of this suite is McAfee ProtectionPilot, a centralized tool
to guide you through the mystery of deploying and monitoring
threat protection, and keeping it in place and up-to-date.
Centralized Management Tool
ProtectionPilot
McAfee ProtectionPilot is a centralized management tool
that provides a simple, proactive approach to deployment,

Microsoft Desktop and File Server Protection
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise
VirusScan provides comprehensive threat protection for
the hardest part of the system to manage—desktops
and file servers. VirusScan proactively defends against
threats (viruses, worms, and Trojan horses), buffer over-
flow exploits, potentially unwanted programs, and blended
attacks. Powerful, flexible, and bandwidth-friendly,
VirusScan delivers protection the way it’s needed in
today’s fast-moving, highly adaptive businesses.
McAfee NetShield for NetWare File Servers
McAfee NetShield®protects NetWare file servers
through realtime scanning to detect and clean viruses
and other threats. By caching file status when an initial
scan is performed, NetShield ensures that clean files
are not rescanned unless and until modified, signifi-
cantly improving performance and efficiency.
McAfee Active Virus Defense SMB Edition
In addition to offering desktop and server protection,
McAfee Active Virus Defense SMB Edition includes addi-
tional threat protection and content filtering for mail servers
and threat protection at the SMTP mail Gateway.
McAfee WebShield for Internet Gateways
McAfee WebShield keeps viruses and other Web-based
threats out of the network, stopping them before they
enter at the Internet gateway—keeping both inbound
and outbound SMTP traffic clean and virus-free.
McAfee GroupShield for Mail Servers
The Internet is not the only entry point for a threat—
collaborative environments such as e-mail servers are
also at risk. McAfee GroupShield specifically protects
this layer of the network, with threat protection for
Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange servers.
McAfee makes managing your system protection easier,
less time-consuming, and more cost-effective for your busi-
ness. McAfee SMB Edition suites combine the perfect
solutions to take the guesswork and worry out of keeping
protection updated, properly configured, and managed.
Maximum protection—Minimum fuss.
