About GroupShield for Exchange
Document repository protection — McAfee PortalShield
Using computers within corporate environment has made it easy to create
documents that might contain mission-critical information. Several software
vendors produce portal servers to store, index and control your critical documents
in a way that enables them to be easily located when needed. Because these portal
servers are set up to store your critical information, it is important that this
® ™
information is also protected. McAfee PortalShield integrates with the stores of
these products to provide scanning of such documents each time they are accessed
from, or saved to the store.
Desktop and file server protection — McAfee VirusScan Enterprise
Not all viruses are transmitted via email. Many can be spread by reading from
physical media, such as diskettes or CDs. Others can spread by using network
shares to copy themselves from one computer to another across your network.
From the viewpoint of somebody trying to attack your corporate network, your file
servers are a good target because many other computers connect to the file
servers. Infecting the file server is more likely to have serious consequences than
infecting a single desktop computer.
®
The McAfee VirusScan products protect desktop computers and file servers within
your network. As part of your integrated response to virus threats, VirusScan can be
viewed as your last line of defense, protecting each desktop computer and file
server from viruses that might spread using network shares or physical media.
®
VirusScan is available in versions to protect Microsoft Windows, Unix, Apple
Macintosh computers, as well as all the leading wireless devices that might connect
to your PCs and network.

Management solution — McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
With ePolicy Orchestrator, you can manage and update all your McAfee anti-virus
solutions across your network from a single point, ensuring that the engines and the
virus definition (DAT) files are up-to-date and that the suitable policies are in place
to deal with any attacks to your network.
