Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
According to McAfee, in addition to traditional
markets like higher education, there has been significant growth in the
number of Macs being deployed by enterprise customers and government
agencies, which it claims raises the profile of the Mac as a target
platform for malware, viruses, spyware, phishing attacks and exploits.
McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac features single integrated
management, with use of the same console to manage Mac and Windows
endpoints, while ePolicy Orchestrator’s reporting enables at-a-glance
security reporting. The inbound system firewall stops network-based
attacks from getting to the Mac, and the outbound firewall prevents
spyware and other data-stealing programs from sending personal data to
cyber criminals.
The security firm claims IT is “demanding to have the ability to
protect and manage security on Mac endpoints just as they do Windows
endpoints,” and McAfee is supported in its view by IT director at
Aquent, Peter Lincoln who says that “the demand for Macintosh in the
enterprise is steadily growing, yet organizations are either not using
any security technology for these endpoints, or they are using a
standalone, non-manageable anti-virus protection solution.
“We have to ensure that all our endpoints meet our security compliance
requirements no matter what operating system they are running. The use
of McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac enables us to have complete
protection on all our endpoints. Using the same integrated management
console also allows us to lower our operational cost and ensure
security and compliance.”
