McAfee Security Alerting Service (MSAS)
McAfee monitors and assesses threats of all sorts, and categorizes them by risk and severity.
When a threat is determined, McAfee generates a notification message that can be
distributed to every subscriber of MSAS in as little as 30 minutes, including all the
communication methods selected by the subscriber.
One of the main benefits of MSAS is that if a primary mechanism of notification is not
successful the service will automatically use a secondary notification mechanism to notify you
of the alert.
Additional information can be found in the McAfee ServicePortal.
