Besides McAfee V8.7 Virusscan and anti spamware, I/A V8.5 secured also supports McAfee ePo Orchestrator as add-on package to take these functions to a higher level. Runs on the I/A V8.5 Domain Controller and enforces policies and updates accordingly..amongst device control and many other security features. That answers a previous email also, as to why McAfee is our preferred partner as we have engaged them in several solutions. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rick Mol Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 12:27 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] McAfee 8.0i No more updates Ted, If I understand your question correctly, McAfee does offer a management product called ePolicy Orchestrator. I've set that up at a few sites and have had good results. ePO will allow you to setup a repository to download the definitions from the Internet and store locally. That way, the production boxes don't need to see the Internet directly. The other feature is that you can use ePO to notify of events on the production boxes. It can also be used to deploy AV to the production boxes. Hope this helps, please contact with questions.

Changing to Symantec is an interesting thought, we're already using their BESR backup and restore utilities... Going forward wouldn't there be some benefits in reducing the number of vendors everyone (customers/Invensys/Wonderware/ system integrators, ...) would need to deal with for Windows workstation software (testing/compatibility, tracking versions/updates/patches, familiarity with websites, contacting tech support, etc)? Along similar lines, conversely -- if we are to stick with McAfee for antivirus, could they (McAfee) also provide an online network based backup/restore solution (could not initially find one in my brief search of their website)? Any others' thoughts on this? -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jack.Easley@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 9:56 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] McAfee 8.0i No more updates The first response I got from a local Fox rep was that it is required to buy a newer McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Client for each box and install it. I'm sure Foxboro Service will be happy to do this for you (for a bit of compensation). The latest area we upgraded (a little over a year ago) to Fox V8.4.2 came with McAfee 8.5 which is still OK with definition updates, so unless you went to Foxboro Windows 1 1/2 to 2 years or longer ago you won't have this problem. Alex sent me a copy of the Customer Advisory offline which Fox Service has received and it is dated today, so we customers will probably all get this Customer Advisory within the next few days. I only found out earlier because of a notice posted on the CSC Antivirus download webpage where I go routinely for updates. We all will just have to get used to the fact that McAfee may have to be re-purchased/re-installed every few years in the future. Maybe Foxboro should consider changing to Symantec Antivirus, as I know we have been using the same Symantec AV enterprise software for close to 10 years on our PCs at work and home with no need to upgrade to a newer version (Yes, I have a PC at home that old). It is my personal opinion that McAfee has always been overbearing with software/license fees.
