McAfee and Adobe to Provide Integrated Security Solutions
September 2009 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
McAfee Inc. and Adobe Systems Incorporated announced a global alliance partnership to jointly deliver new solutions that will offer more comprehensive security to both companies’ customers.
Together, McAfee(R) and Adobe will deliver an integrated Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Enterprise Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution to expand the reach of data protection beyond the enterprise boundaries. With this new solution, organizations worldwide can ensure that access control to sensitive information is automatically applied based on classification of the data and enforce corporate governance policies.
Further, as part of the partnership, McAfee has made a free diagnostic tool, McAfeeSecurity Scan, available as an optional download to customers when installing Adobe(R) Reader(R) and Adobe Flash(R) Player software from Adobe.com. The McAfee tool enables consumers to easily check for anti-virus software and firewall protection on their computers. When the scan is complete, users see a report detailing the presence and status of security protection, and are presented with special offers for McAfee security software, including McAfee Anti-Virus, McAfee Internet Security, McAfee Total Protection, and McAfee Family Protection.
