System Administrator at a media company with 501-1,000 employees

We are using many components such as Drive Encryption, DLP, Threat Prevention, Advanced Threat Prevention, and Web Control in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator. It is a very manageable and effective orchestrator to manage all resources under one umbrella.

Many companies are seeking threat prevention and DLP in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator. DLP is crucial as we are focusing on security, so data leakage prevention is the most important aspect in our company as a media organization. Drive Encryption is essential when it comes to data protection.

The use cases for McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator involve deploying multiple customers for endpoint solutions, EPP solutions, and creating credential dumping in the customer environment. We find Trellix blocks credential dumping. We have to download and create the .icar file in the customer environment, and there are malware phones we address. We are blocking suspicious URLs from web control and controlling applications through application control, as well as blocking removal drives from device controls, and utilizing Trellix DLP.

We are a system integrator and McAffee MVISION ePO is one of the security products that we implement for our clients.

The primary use case of my customer is to protect the endpoints. It is important because of people who are working from home, and the diverse platforms that are apart from the workers who have a different environment.

They are also spread over different countries and many different towns. The cloud platform is the best to communicate the management of devices and security.

Also, besides, it offers protection compliance.

Cyber Security Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

I use the solution for two things - as an antivirus for a spider scan enterprise and endpoint protection, and also to make application whitelisting, or application blocking, where we only allow certain applications to run on the server, in case the server has been compromised. That could mean our ePO scripts or anything might be compromised and it can't run. We install a plug-in so it won't run any executables which are not whitelisted. We're a cyber security company and a customer of McAfee.

With this solution we use ENS with DLP. DLP works in controlling data protection when transferring data from PC to USB, USB to PC. We also use it for read-only access for hard disks. In DLP we have many options which we can work with.

Currently, we are using it for the clipboard, where we cannot capture screenshots from the PC screen, as well as for USB locking/data transfer, and the hard disk protection.
