Data loss or theft have serious implications for any business and gaining greater
control over it is a corporate-wide priority. Preventing security breaches on
endpoints causes a lot of headaches, much more with the proliferation of
today’s mobile technologies, and losing it entirely is a business’s worst
nightmare.
It is
said that around 7% of corporate laptops will be lost or might have been stolen
sometime during their functional life. If it happens, sensitive data is at risk
of loss, theft, and vulnerability. More often, data simply walks outright of
the front door on a laptop, USB device, or other mobile device. Moreover, the
rapid proliferation of mobile devices with huge storage capacities and
oftentimes internet access is opening even more channels for data breaches,
loss, or theft, thereby protecting sensitive, proprietary, and personally,
identifiable information must be a top security priority.
Businesses
suffering from such data loss will risk profound consequences such as
customer distrust, public disclosure, regulatory penalties, financial losses,
and brand damage to name a few. Lost data can very well lead to costly unavailability
of marketing and sales and significantly reduced customer service all the while
customer services are being rebuilt and restored. The
cost of data to businesses varies depending upon its application, as
well as to its potential value that can be acquired from the use of the
data.

Gaining
greater control of data with an enterprise-grade protection solution
Stopping
data loss or theft at the endpoints starts at boosting visibility and control
over data, even when that data is disguised for whatever purpose. Gaining
greater control of data enables businesses to execute and implement
corporate-wide security strategies in regulating and keeping within bounds how
workforces use and move sensitive data through common channels, such as USB
drives, IM, emails, mobile devices, and printing. It does not matter if the
said data are in the office, at home, or even on the move - businesses stay in
control.
McAfee
Complete Data Protection Suite secures confidential data with an enterprise-grade threat protection solution that is
FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria EAL2+ certified and accelerated with the Intel
Advanced Encryption Standard—New Instructions (AESNI) set. It uses drive
encryption integrated with strong access control through a two-factor pre-boot
authentication preventing unaccredited and unauthorized access to confidential

theft, loss, and exposure by using a powerful combination of enterprise-grade
endpoint encryption, user-deportment tracking, and access control. The suite
helps in the setup and put into effect various data security policies, as
follows;
● Control
workforce's access, use, and transfer of sensitive data via traditional
channels, like emails, IMs, printing, and USB drives. Businesses stay in total
control of data security whether the users are in the office, home, or on the
move.
● Control what file
types and folders are to be encrypted such as laptops, tablets desktops,
virtual desktop infrastructure workstations, and removable media such as CD/DVD
and USB devices.
● Safeguard
data from loss or theft with a fast endpoint encryption solution that is
Common Criteria EAL2+ certified and FIPS 140-2, accelerated by the Intel AES-NI (Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New
Instructions).
● Increase IT
reach with Intel AMT and Intel vPro based platforms for secure
remote access, regardless of PC power or encrypted state.
● Avail oneself
of advanced reporting and vetting capabilities to bespeak compliance swiftly
and simply to internal and external auditors and other major stakeholders.
