How McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint Works
Overview
Microsoft SharePoint is the business collaboration platform that provides comprehensive content
management and facilitates shared business processes. With Microsoft SharePoint, you can
combine content from different areas of an organization into a single search portal site and
allow users to find information they need in the course of their daily businesses; despite the
physical location of the information on your network.
However, any system that is designed to create, save, open, and store information can be
vulnerable to virus attacks.
McAfee Security for Microsoft SharePoint protects your SharePoint server by:
• Blocking viruses and other malicious code in real-time using McAfee's latest Artemis
technology.
• Removing banned file types and unwanted content from your server using the file
filtering/content scanning rules and actions you configure.
