By leveraging our support Product Specialists worldwide, we resolve issues faster, any time, anywhere. We will provide you

McAfee Security Alerting Service (MSAS)

McAfee Security Alerting Service (MSAS) is a proactive alerting tool that notifies you of viruses and vulnerabilities as they 
arise, as well as product patches or upgrades as they become available. As a new threat assessment arises, or as a new 
improvement is made to an existing McAfee solution, MSAS sends timely and active intelligence to the right person or 
people—on the communications device(s) of their choice.

Additional information on MSAS can be found in the McAfee Technical Support ServicePortal at
