As companies with remote kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, and ATMs move away from proprietary operating platforms to the Windows XPE platform, their exposure to the many threats that affect the Windows platform increases. This can be managed by the McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i, which now supports Windows XP Embedded operating system.
The VirusScan aims to protect financial institutions, major retail, and airlines from viruses, malware, and theft of customer information. Point-of-sale systems are critical to business processes, and organizations need to protect customer information to increase revenues, accelerate transactions, enhance services, and comply with regulatory requirements.
VirusScan Enterprise looks for exploits known to target Microsoft applications and services and will identify and block threats. It integrates with McAfee's system security management console, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) and aims to stop and remove threats, extends coverage for new security risks, and reduces the cost of managing outbreak responses. It offers intrusion prevention with application-specific buffer-overflow technology. Besides, it offers robust access-protection rules; can lock down shares, files, and directories; block the execution of a specific file; and generate log entries or alerts when attempting to access blocked items. It uses a number of mechanisms to protect endpoints from being altered, including disabling end users from making changes, enforcing scanning policies, and locking down the software from malicious changes.
VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i for Windows XPE is available now. Customers interested in deploying VirusScan Enterprise to Windows XP Embedded devices can contact McAfee for information on the Windows XP Embedded Conditional Support Program.
