Mcafee Desktop Firewall 8.5

McAfee® Desktop Firewall proactively protects network desktop clients against new threats that anti-virus software cannot defeat alone. Combining comprehensive network and application firewall capabilities with intrusion protection, Desktop Firewall prevents clients from sending or receiving traffic or application-borne threats. It also precludes trusted applications from being used to spread attacks across the network. Desktop Firewall integrates with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® for scalable, centralized management and reporting.

Key Benefits

• Proactive prevention of threats that anti-virus alone can't stop - Desktop Firewall filters all incoming and outgoing traffic, and controls applications, ports, and protocols to prevent attacks
• Protection from network-borne viruses - Authorized applications are managed and monitored to prevent their being used to send or receive threats across the network
• Shielding from unwanted applications - Spyware and other potentially dangerous programs can be prevented from running or hooking into other programs
• Exclusion of insecure clients - A quarantine mode keeps unprotected or inadequately shielded clients from communicating over the network
• Protection for mobile users - Desktop Firewall supports a wide range of protocols, including those used by mobile users accessing the corporate network via the Internet.

Product Features

True On-Access ScanningConnection aware policies

Connection aware policies provides administrators with the ability to develop specific rule sets that only apply when a user connects to a network using a specific medium (LAN, wireless, VPN or dial-up). For example, an administrator can create a VPN-based connection group, and Desktop Firewall only applies the associated rules when a user tries to connect to a VPN.

Packet-level firewall

Desktop Firewall prevents network attacks using traffic-control rules for over 120 IP protocols. Security is further enhanced with support for non-IP protocols including WiFi, NetBEUI, IPX, and AppleTalk.

Application-layer firewall

Rules are created to restrict network traffic generated by applications; administrators can further strengthen security by controlling the ports and protocols used by authorized applications.

Application monitoring

Application-creation rules prohibit unauthorized applications, stop threats such as Trojans, worms, remote access Trojans, and spyware, and prohibit users from installing or running unapproved software.

Intrusion prevention system

Attack signatures enable Desktop Firewall to detect traffic behavior or application activity that indicates an attack on the client. These identified intrusions-such as IP spoofing, ping flood, and SYN flood-are blocked, and the client machine is prevented from being used to attack other network resources.

Quarantine mode

This feature enhances security by automatically checking client security policies before permitting full network connection. If the client is unprotected or running out-of-date software or security policies, access is denied.

Mobile-user protection

With support for 120 IP-based protocols, Desktop Firewall can be configured to provide security for mobile users connecting to the enterprise network via the Internet.

Centralized management, monitoring, and detailed reporting

Desktop Firewall integrates with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator®, the industry's leading tool for enterprise-class system security management. Administrators can configure and enforce policy and monitor the effectiveness of their security safeguards.

Integration with McAfee VirusScan® Enterprise

The combination of Desktop Firewall and VirusScan Enterprise provides integrated, multi-tiered protection against viruses, hackers, malicious threats, and data theft.
