Global leader in online protection, McAfee has introduced a new comprehensive security solution for small business owners in collaboration with Dell Technologies.
McAfee Business Protection helps Dell small business customers stay ahead of cyber threats and vulnerabilities with security, identity and dark web data monitoring, as well as VPN and web protection for safe browsing.
For example, business owners benefit from custom security policies to set automated rules aligned to their business needs, reducing time on IT security management while delivering protection.
A McAfee survey of business owners found that the majority (80%) self-managed their business protections. With limited time and resources, 60% spent less than an hour each week managing those protections, despite cybercrime targeted at SMBs.
McAfee chief operating officer, Gagan Singh said, “We’re excited to bring McAfee Business Protection to Dell customers so that small business owners can focus on running their company, knowing that their security posture is in safe hands with McAfee and Dell.
“Our business solution is purpose-built with an easy-to-use and scalable model designed to grow with the business. Customers will benefit from simple but powerful tools that allow customization while offering industry-leading online protection.”
Key McAfee Business Protection technology highlights include a Security Console to view protection status, manage employee invitations and take necessary actions in one place; a Business Protection Score to stay on top of online security health with guided steps to improve scores and Identity Monitoring for employees to see if their email address and phone number have been compromised on the dark web.
User-Managed Protection allows each employee to create their own login and set up their own data and device protection. An advanced firewall safeguards users’ data by blocking hackers from gaining access to home or office networks, while a tracker remover prevents web trackers from monitoring and gathering data about the business or employees.
Dell Technologies president of client product group, Ed Ward said, “As security threats have become more prevalent and sophisticated, one thing has remained constant: organisations of all sizes need strong defenses. It’s why we collaborate with security experts across the industry to embed security and resiliency into Dell’s core solutions.
“When it comes to small businesses, it’s critical we provide security offerings that let them manage and grow their companies with confidence. The work we’re doing with McAfee helps us deliver on this vision.”
