8 McAfee ® ePolicy Orchestrator ® 4.0 and 4.5 Best Practices Guide

History of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator software
ePolicy Orchestrator software is a mature security management platform that delivers the quality and stability that can only be provided by a product that has evolved in the security environment.
Understanding the history of the ePolicy Orchestrator software and the initial products it managed can help you use the information in this Best Practices Guide more effectively.
ePolicy Orchestrator software was originally released in 1999 when computer security was just beginning as an industry. McAfee had already released one of its first anti-virus client products and it was being deployed worldwide using floppy disks exchanged by users. Soon users asked, “how do I manage it once I have it deployed?”
At first the only management tool offered was called Management Edition 1.0 which had several limitations. McAfee rewrote the management server product and the ePolicy Orchestrator software 1.0
was born. Today, it has evolved to manage:
• McAfee VirusScan Enterprise — Used with Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and Linux versions
• McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention and Windows Firewall — Provides multiple operating system support
• McAfee SiteAdvisor — Provides URL reputation filtering on the endpoint
• McAfee Policy Auditor — Provides comprehensive systems auditing on multiple operating system’s
• McAfee Network Access Control — Controls access to network resources based on policy
• McAfee Application Control — Prevents unauthorized programs from running
• McAfee Endpoint Encryption — Provides full disk encryption to prevent data loss systems
• McAfee Data Loss Protection — Controls USB devices and unauthorized removal of data
• McAfee Encrypted USB Drives — Manages USB drives with hardware encryption
This list does not include the numerous integrations with McAfee Security Innovation Alliance (SIA)
Partners and integration with McAfee Network products. Some of these McAfee integrated products include Web Gateway, Network Intrusion Prevention, and Vulnerability Manager.
