Offers DLP solutions with drive encryption, and application control
When installing McAfee ePO, we need to set up a self-check configuration. To join the system, we run a specific command. We configure connections for the data center, data server, and application server during this setup. Sometimes, we encounter communication issues between the database and application servers. These issues can prevent the database from communicating with ePO, leading to problems with updates and other functions. If the database cannot communicate with ePO, it affects our ability to manage configurations and updates, creating various issues. Additionally, roaming users outside the network must receive the latest signatures and updates. In a Citrix environment, a handler is configured to manage communication for these roaming users. However, we sometimes face issues with public and private IP configurations. Users may prefer to keep their IPs private, which can cause complications. For environments without Internet access, we use a DNS server to facilitate updates, which are managed locally. This type of configuration can be complex, but it's crucial for maintaining functionality without external network access. Trellix Embedded Control is a product used by companies in infrastructure development. The specific products and tools they use can vary based on their needs. DLP operates with devices, but network DLP is required for classification tasks. The choice of solutions depends on the organization's infrastructure and customer requirements, guiding the following implementation steps. Clients deploy the solution with their provider within one week.

Offers sandboxing unit and virtual patch management, stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits
It's a good product. It's taken the majority of the market share in Pakistan from any other product; the major feature of Deep Security is its virtual patching management, which they download on the cloud. They stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits as long as you don't download all the updates and install them physically on the servers. So, in that sense, it is a very good product. And we've been selling it for a long time; it's been four to five years. And we have a lot of customers for it. Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers. Also, if users truly want to secure their network and the servers, they may want to use XDR as well, which has all these features we just discussed.
