Welcome to McAfee® Enterprise News, our monthly customer newsletter. Our goal is to keep you informed of anti-virus industry trends, ways you can make your job easier, and the tools McAfee offers to help you in your battle against virus security threats.

In This Issue



Closing the "Window of Vulnerability" With ThreatScan
ThreatScan™ plays a key part in securing the network IN ADVANCE from new threats, closing the window of vulnerability. ThreatScan identifies ALL machines on the network and finds any weaknesses before a virus or worm does. As part of the ongoing battle to secure the network from new threats, McAfee delivers dynamic detection for new security vulnerabilities as they arise, in addition to the regular monthly ThreatScan module updates. Using ThreatScan, you can find vulnerabilities before they're exploited by a virus or worm! Click here for further information on ThreatScan and here to download ThreatScan module updates.
