McAfee Web Security Service Overview:

McAfee Web Security Service helps you secure and protect your network perimeter through accurate vulnerability scanning, and actionable reporting. It provides transparent objectivity through continual comparison of your status against widely adopted benchmarks such as the McAfee SECURE data security standard. You’ll know exactly what to address first, and have expert assistance should you need it.

Description:

McAfee Web Security Service is the Smart, Simple and Secure solution to the challenge of defending your network perimeter against daily threats.

Protect the perimeter and you’ll help protect your organization, brand, and customers from hackers, data breaches, adware, spyware, popups, browser exploits, and phishing attempts. To help organizations around the world achieve this peace of mind, we integrated complementary security technologies into a single service that helps protects your network perimeter.

McAfee Web Security Service leverages our widely used vulnerability scanning technology that currently helps protect more than 80,000 sites. We combine this with security data gathered by continuously crawling the web, searching for and identifying sites harboring malicious code, such as spyware.

The service helps you identify potential security issues through real-time insight into the security status of your network perimeter, prioritize your IT security projects, prevent data breaches, and even demonstrate ROI. It provides transparent objectivity by continually benchmarking and certifying your network perimeter security status to widely adopted independent data security standards including McAfee SECURE and PCI.

This web-based service runs entirely from our network. It requires no installation, no setup, no hardware purchases, no software development, no security expertise, and no special training to use. McAfee provides automated network security audits combined with an interactive, highly customizable vulnerability management portal.

McAfee Web Security Service also includes a simplified, easy-to-use system perfectly suited to any organization that needs to successfully and confidently complete the steps necessary for PCI (merchant Level 2-4) certification.

Compliance also holds other benefits; as long as you remain in compliance with the McAfee SECURE standard, you have the option of promoting your certified security to visitors by displaying the well-known McAfee SECURE trustmark on your website(s).
