McAfee Enhances Enterprise Mobile Security with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Management Platform

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- McAfee today announced that McAfee Enterprise Mobility Management (McAfee® EMM™ software) is now fully integrated with the McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator® (McAfee ePO™) platform. With McAfee EMM software, comprehensive security, policy, and management capabilities are extended to mobile devices. McAfee ePO software enables enterprises to protect their data on company-issued and employee-owned devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers) through a single, unified infrastructure and console.


According to a Gartner survey of 2,300 CIOs worldwide last year, CIOs ranked mobile security as their second highest technology priority.1 IT departments have largely deployed standalone management systems for mobile devices. Mobility no longer needs to be an additional strain on IT resources with the simplification and efficiency of managing end-user devices and servers in the same security infrastructure.

"Businesses are leveraging mobile technologies to deliver a competitive edge yet many organizations manage these devices separately from their core infrastructure," said Ari Jaaksi, senior vice president and general manager of Mobile Engineering Operations at McAfee. "Every device that's connected to the Internet or that has access to an organization's network or database needs to be secured and managed. McAfee is making it easier for IT departments to see and manage their mobile footprint along with the rest of their infrastructure."

McAfee EMM 11.0 software now integrated with the McAfee ePO management platform

The combination of McAfee EMM software withthe includedMcAfee ePO management platform brings a wide range of enhancements including:

  • End-to-end security and compliance visibility from a single, unified infrastructure and console

  • Streamlined processes by leveraging McAfee ePO platform automation including device tagging, automated workflows, and actionable drag-and-drop dashboards

  • Granular policy-based security including per user, device and operating system options

  • Mobile monitoring, alerting, analytics, and reporting, including mobile specific reports and dashboards

  • Enterprise class scalability up to 25,000 devices per server and more than 100,000 devices if using load-balancing

McAfee EMM software also includes McAfee® Secure Container for Android and McAfee® VirusScan® Mobile for Android software (unmanaged). McAfee EMM software provides mobile security for devices, data, and applications, as well as mobile device management. McAfee EMM software also supports hosting and distribution of corporate apps and public apps for iOS and Android, including support for Apple's Volume Purchase Program. The EMM software is now part of the new McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection suites.
