announced the
availability of the McAfee Enterprise Mobility Management (McAfee
EMM) 9.5 software in India. McAfee EMM software now includes
integration with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO)
platform, providing customers with unified management of their
endpoint, network and data security products. The end-to-end
visibility and control provided by the McAfee ePO platform will help
IT administrators dramatically strengthen their protection and drive
down the cost and complexity of managing their risk and security.
Additional Key new
features and benefits of McAfee EMM 9.5 software include:
-
Enterprise App Store-
Businesses can now offer recommended applications through a secure
enterprise app store, while maintaining complete visibility into the
applications that reside on these employee-owned devices -
Enhanced iOS4 Support —
McAfee EMM software features a full API set for mobile device
management, allowing IT administrators the ability to create a list of
recommended applications-based parameters such as the user and their
roles and responsibilities, and sub-lists, which can be sent to
individuals or groups -
Enhanced Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) Capabilities-McAfee now offers PKI capabilities
through the Microsoft Certificate Authority, providing strong
authentication for devices accessing the corporate network. Smartphones
and tablets can now connect to the network VPN using client
certificates, in the same way as laptops. -
Support for the Android
Tablet— In addition to support for the Android 2.2 and Motorola Droid
Pro, McAfee EMM software now extends support for Android 2.3 and offers
full support for Android-based tablets -
Enhanced Lotus Domino

leverage the unique capabilities of McAfee EMM software.
“In the last year alone
we have seen such a range of user devices in our workplace, from
smartphones to Apple iPads,” said Sumit Sehgal, Information
Security Manager, Riverside Healthcare. “The fact that these
devices are mobile means that they're also easily lost or stolen,
introducing risk. McAfee EMM software has really helped us to be able
to say 'yes' to these devices and manage them as an extension of
our security infrastructure. We can now secure and manage mobile
devices as we do any other endpoint.”
“Consumerization of IT
has changed the way organizations need to think about security,”
said Todd Gebhart, Executive VP and GM-consumer, mobile and small
business, McAfee. He added, “According to recent McAfee research
commissioned by Evaluserve, as many as 41 percent of large
organizations have reduced their IT costs and increased productivity
by allowing employees to use their personal devices for business.
With McAfee EMM software, IT managers can now secure their digital
assets against data loss and increased threat vectors with the same
control, visibility and security they have with their laptops,
desktops, and servers.”
McAfee Enterprise Mobility
Management software lets companies extend the datacenter to
smartphones and tablets in the same way that they do so for laptops,
leveraging the native capabilities of the device and the enterprise
IT infrastructure to deliver native applications. The McAfee
Enterprise Mobility Management solution, with its scalable
server-centric architecture, lets organizations manage the next
generation of mobile devices with the same security, control, and
visibility they have with their other endpoints.
