McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint version 2.5 User Guide
Description
Support for Microsoft SharePoint Server versions 2003, 2007, and 2010 through
a single installer.
McAfee's latest Artemis Technology safeguards your SharePoint Server by
providing real-time security from the ever-evolving threats.
It enables the leverage of threat intelligence gathered by McAfee Labs to prevent
damage and data theft even before a signature or DAT update is available.
When a suspicious file is detected on a managed node protected by a McAfee
anti-malware product with Artemis, it connects to McAfee servers in real-time
and checks against the database. With real-time input from McAfee protected
systems, Artemis provides an "up to the minute" repository of malware samples
and information. If the suspicious file is found to be malicious, the managed node
will be notified and protected. The Artemis query and response happens in
milliseconds. Artemis does not replace signature files; it adds to the signature
files. The signature or DAT files are required for further actions such as cleaning
and repair.
McAfee Artemis protection is available only if your system is connected to the
Internet. Without network connectivity, managed nodes are protected by the
locally stored signatures or DAT files. The traffic generated by Artemis is low and
protection is available on a low speed connection too.
Refer to the McAfee KnowledgeBase article at
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB68631 for more
information on Artemis technology.
Incremental on-demand scans saves time by scanning only the newly added
documents in the SharePoint server without re-scanning the entire server.
In resumable on-demand scan, while a scan in progress is stopped, McAfee
Security for Microsoft SharePoint saves the current state of the scan task. When
the same task is started later, scan will resume from the last scanned folder. In
the event of a signature update while a scan is paused, McAfee Security for
Microsoft SharePoint provides an option to restart the scan with the updated
signature (DATs). A regular on-demand scan task can be scheduled by selecting
the Off option on the Configuration tab of the OnDemand Task wizard.
You can specify file extensions to be excluded from on-demand scanning.
CAUTION: Use this feature cautiously in case a file extension might be tampered
or changed.
You can deploy and manage McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint installation
across multiple managed nodes using McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0 or later.
ePolicy Orchestrator offers email notifications in case of a product event.
This release integrates with McAfee Agent 4.x or later.
This release is supported in virtualized environment such as VMware Workstation,
VMware Server, vSphere 4.X (VMware ESX 4.X), and Hyper-V environment. For
details on the supported environments for McAfee Security for Microsoft
SharePoint, refer to the McAfee KnowledgeBase article at
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB68141 .
From McAfee PortalShield 2.0 SP1, you can upgrade to McAfee Security for
Microsoft SharePoint 2.5 (both standalone and through ePolicy Orchestrator).
This version automatically adds Farm Administrator, Internet Information Services
and Windows SharePoint Services User Groups to McAfee Access Control List
(SdEdit.exe) during installation.
