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.
