Total Protection for SMBs.
Helping Service Providers generate more revenue from SMBs
Total Protection is the industry’s first comprehensive, integrated SMB security solution that combines a firewall with protection against viruses, spam, and spyware and provides a single, automated agent for desktops and file servers, with all desktop agents being managed from a centralised SMB web portal. In addition, Total Protection provides comprehensive detailed reporting that gives an administrator an immediate up-to-date view of the status of his network security.
Total Protection enables Service Providers to offer comprehensive managed desktop and file-server protection for small to medium-sized businesses without the requirement for the Service Provider to invest in additional software and hardware. McAfee hosts the solution, which the Service Provider co-brands, provisions, and sells.
The service is easy to provision to SMB end-users, and once installed it can be managed either by the SMB’s own administrator or by the Service Provider on the SMB’s behalf, should the customer wish to fully outsource management of the solution to the Service Provider.
A variety of methods exist for the Service Provider to install the service on SMB systems, including automatic download from a customized URL, which can be sent by the Service Provider to SMB end users.
Once installed, the Total Protection service is managed from a secure Web portal-McAfee SecurityCenter - which allows a Service Provider system administrator to manage all the Total Protection desktop security agents distributed throughout an SMB organisation from a single console. When offered as a managed security service by the Service Provider, SecurityCenter allows a Service Provider administrator to manage multiple SMB customer installations from a single console.
For Service Providers that sell business broadband solutions, McAfee Total Protection for small to medium-sized businesses is the perfect value-added service to bundle with subscription-based broadband connections- low cost, simple online provisioning options, monthly billing, multi-lingual support, and automated updates, with automatic security protection which is transparent to end-users.
