Viruses Are Not Passive
The threat from viruses changes constantly. More than 
300 new viruses are discovered each month. To make 
matters worse, today’s most prevalent threats are worms
and mass-mailing viruses that can spread around the world
in a matter of hours. Since the virus threat is actively shifting,
shouldn’t your defense strategy be active too?
The Best Defense Is an Active Defense
To effectively combat the ever-changing virus threat, you
should establish an active anti-virus policy. Most companies
today understand the need for virus protection. Many have
established formal policies defining what form that protection
should take, and how it should be used. But very few take the
necessary next step to make their policies active. Making a
policy active isn’t as simple as just changing it occasionally.
First, Measure
Before you can know what changes should be made to a
policy, you need to know which parts of it are working 
and which are not. Is the virus protection software on all 
computers being updated according to policy? Are the 
configuration settings dictated by the policy still in effect? 
Is virus protection installed on all machines? To answer these
questions, you need a tool like McAfee
®
ePolicy
Orchestrator
.  The heart and soul of McAfee Active Virus
Defense, ePolicy Orchestrator can help administrators to
intelligently adjust their policies to the changing virus threat.
Ensure Total Coverage
Once you know where the weak points in your defense are,
you can take action to correct the problems. Having world-
class virus detection and cleaning software for all computers
on the network is a good start. Most companies need 
protection at the desktop, file server, groupware server, and
Internet gateway. McAfee Active Virus Defense offers industry-
leading protection for each of these four network tiers. Once
all the computers on the network are fully protected, ePolicy
Orchestrator policy enforcement functionality can ensure they
stay that way. ePolicy Orchestrator also enables administrators
to make configuration changes to handle new virus types or
adjust to changing virus prevalence trends.
It’s Called a Gateway
There’s a reason the point at which a corporate network 
connects to the Internet is called the Internet gateway: it’s a
point beyond which some things must not pass. That goes
for inbound as well as outbound traffic, and it’s just as useful
in fighting viruses as in preventing network intrusions. As 
anyone who has administered desktop virus protection 
software can attest, it’s nearly impossible to get all the desktops
on a network 100 percent protected with updated anti-virus 
software. With today’s fast-moving worms, all it takes is one
out-of-date machine to start a virus outbreak. If there are
other vulnerable computers on the network, the result is a
costly clean-up effort. Even if every other computer is well
protected, the result can be hundreds of help-desk calls from
users asking if the e-mail message they have just seen, saying
the virus was cleaned, is correct. McAfee WebShield
®
Internet
gateway virus protection solution can stop Internet e-mail
viruses before they get to one user on the network, preventing
those costly problems. With McAfee Security’s unique
Outbreak Manager technology, WebShield can identify and
stop outbreaks even when the virus instigating them is new
and unknown. WebShield also offers the ability to content filter
e-mail messages. It can block e-mails with inappropriate 
content by scanning the subject line and message body, as
well as any attached file’s name, type, or size.
