McAfee, Inc. has announced McAfee Total Protection for Network, a new suite associated with deploying, maintaining and managing multiple security solutions. McAfee Total Protection for Network includes the McAfee M-8000 Network Security Platform, formerly known as IntruShield and the McAfee Content Security Blade Server.

"Our customers tell us they are frustrated with managing so many point products, while the costs of doing so continues to mount," said Christopher Bolin, chief technology officer for McAfee. "With McAfee Total Protection for Network, we are introducing a single solution that protects the data-and everything else that transits over a company's network-ending appliance fatigue. By reducing the number of appliances in their environments, organisations save money and contribute to more environmentally friendly computing practices."

As mentioned in the official press release, McAfee Total Protection for Network blocks attacks, stops spam and Web threats, cleans e-mail, protects un-patched systems and offers a powerful solution to help meet regulatory compliance, including PCI.
