McAfee E-Business Server

McAfee E-Business Server Overview:

McAfee E-Business Server is a comprehensive suite of products that uses industry-standard encryption to automatically protect corporate data within applications, email, file transfers, and transaction processing. This suite of products enables you to securely and cost-effectively exchange confidential information internally, and with partners and remote offices via the Internet.

Description:

Enterprises that routinely exchange sensitive customer information or intellectual property with branch offices, vendors, and business partners need to keep confidential data and applications safe and secure. With McAfee E-Business Server, you can securely exchange confidential information between your partners and remote offices via the Internet. It uses industry-standard PGP encryption to automatically safeguard your corporate data within applications and email, as well as during file transfers and transaction processing. PGP 128-bit encryption incorporates the industry’s strongest encryption algorithms.

E-Business Server is easy to install and manage. You can use automatic encryption, decryption, digital signing, and verification to protect data anywhere it’s accessed by users. E-Business Server can be implemented on multiple servers and administered from one location. Use simple commands to encrypt data to keep errors to a minimum and reduce maintenance. And, your developers can easily integrate encryption features into any application using their preferred programming language or native application programming interfaces (APIs). E-Business Server makes it easy to exchange information with partners and remote offices without the expense of dedicated secure data-transfer lines. And, with its built-in compression, you can encrypt files larger than 4 GB while conserving bandwidth, reducing transfer costs, and using your storage space more efficiently.

E-Business Server is compatible with a broad range of network servers and operating systems, so you can share data across multiple platforms. You can even encrypt data on one platform and decrypt it on another. Plus, E-Business Server supports international PGP standards and protocols along with the most widely-used certificate authorities, so you can securely exchange encrypted information with more partners.
