Can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients
What is our primary use case?
Primary use case: malware blockage. If you remember WannaCry, this system stopped it dead in its tracks with zero system failures. If you recall WannaCry hit on the weekend. I updated the rules from home on my ePO server and more than 200 machines were on during the weekend. When I checked the logs on Monday morning, at least 50,000 hits were registered in the logs with zero system failures. Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server.Pros and Cons
- "Its greatest strength is the DXL client which can rapidly disseminate attack information to all clients via the McAfee Agent instead of going through the ePO server."
- "Make the ATD system a part of the whole product and take the whole thing onto the cloud. While it is there already, it is not to the same level as the on-premise version."
What other advice do I have?
no

Protects the endpoints of our organization but it is not cloud ready
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case for this solution is endpoint security.Pros and Cons
- "It stops in excess of twenty-five malware events per month, all of which could be critical to the business."
- "This solution needs to be made "cloud ready"."
What other advice do I have?
This product does the job, but it is not flexible enough to do new environments yet. They're behind the eight ball. If another company is considering this solution then I would recommend it if they're not going cloud. If they are, look somewhere else. I would rate this solution seven out of ten.
