Protection Pilot

Centralized Management with McAfee ProtectionPilot Designed for small- to medium-sized businesses, McAfee ProtectionPilot is a centralized tool that provides a simple, proactive approach to the deployment and ongoing management of threat protection. Central to the McAfee range of SMB Edition solutions, McAfee ProtectionPilot guides you through the mystery of deploying, monitoring, and managing threat protection, keeping it in place and up-to-date.

Key Features

• Maximum Protection
  Effortless Maintenance McAfee ProtectionPilot keeps a constant vigil, automatically checking with McAfee for any new anti-virus/security updates on an hourly basis. These updates are then immediately deployed to all systems—no interaction is required by the administrator.
• Realtime Monitoring
  Locating out-of-date systems and checking for virus infections or potentially unwanted programs are effortless with the ProtectionPilot Interactive Security Dashboard. At the click of a button, compliance- and threat-detection activity are easily viewed for all systems, groups, or individuals. More detailed information is obtained easily with the click-through capability of the interactive dashboard. Critical information is easily viewed on the screen or printable for later reference.
• Automatic Enforcement
  ProtectionPilot is always at work, automatically enforcing security protection settings and policies on each system. In addition to regular checks for any policy or setting changes with the central server, the ProtectionPilot agent also enforces compliance on each local system—the agent automatically checks the local system to ensure the protection is correctly configured and installed. 
• Automatic policy enforcement
  helps ensure the protection is effective and removes possible weak links like end users who can change settings or disable critical protection software.
• Do It Now! Management Task Menu
  Ongoing administration is made simple, quick, and effective with the Do it Now! approach of the management task menu. Tasks like deploying protection, scanning for viruses, emergency updating, enforcing settings and policies, and checking the status of a system can all be performed immediately with the click of button via the Management Task menu.
• No Security Knowledge Required ProtectionPilot installation and management tasks are all intelligently wizard-driven, taking the mystery out of deployment and ongoing management of threat protection.  Following installation, protection will be deployed and settings and policies will be implemented—domains are automatically recognized at initial installation— making locating and deploying to systems across the network simple and straightforward.
