Big network infrastructure vendors know a thing or two about networks. That’s why you trust them to build the world-class network on which your business runs. But should you buy security from them too? They’re sort of related—in that security and networks are both technologies for solving complex technical problems. But beyond that, they’re fundamentally different. It’s not just that the problems we solve are different, we think differently. We’re built differently. It’s like the difference between a weightlifter and a point guard on a basketball team. The one is designed for heavy lifting, the other for agility, speed, and dexterity. And yet network vendors continue to try to convince their customers that because they’re good at networks, they should also be your network security vendor.
McAfee provides security solutions that span the network. From network IPS, firewalls, and NAC, to web, email, and data loss prevention. Learn how McAfee identifies and blocks threats and allows business-critical access and applications to continue uninterrupted.

And even though most organizations have been operating under the guideline of “doing more with less” for many years, that guideline has now become a mandate for business survival.
