Zero-day attack protection — McAfee Entercept agents provide zero-day protection against new attacks with no updates, significantly decreases the criticality of patch deployment and giving enterprises time to research, test and deploy patches.

Risk Mitigation — The three complementary attack prevention technologies: behavioral rules, attack signatures and system firewall, proactively blocks threats before they can compromise critical systems and data, rather than simply detecting attacks after the fact.

Optimize cost of ownership — Entercept lowers costs by mitigating patch criticality and minimizing resources needed to deploy and maintain protection.

Ensure business availability & data confidentiality — Preconfigured, customizable policies enable maximum accuracy of detection for any environment, enabling business to protect critical systems and data, and satisfy regulatory requirements.

Three layers of protection - Entercept deploys the most robust protection available to protect enterprises from attack. Behavioral rules that block zero-day and enforce proper operating system and application behavior, Signatures that block known attacks and provide administrators complete understanding of the threats they face, and a system firewall that ensures compliance to application and system access policies.

Buffer overflow exploit prevention - Patented McAfee Entercept technology prevents code execution resulting from buffer overflow attacks, one of the most common methods of attacking servers and desktops.

Application Shielding and Enveloping - Prevents compromise of applications and their data, as well as prevents the application from being used to attack other applications, even by user with administrative privileges.

Web Server and Database Server Protection - Server agents contain unique protection engineered specifically for to protect Web Servers and Database Servers from attacks like directory traversal and SQL injection attacks.
