McAfee, Inc. announced McAfee Total Protection for Data, a comprehensive solution delivering complete protection, full visibility and control of confidential data anytime and anywhere. With unmatched scalability and centralized management, the new solution includes endpoint encryption, device control, and host data loss prevention (DLP).
McAfee Total Protection for Data was created in response to the growing number of regulations placed on enterprises that require them to ensure customer privacy and data confidentiality. McAfee protects data regardless of how the data is used, stored, accessed or located.
