Introducing SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus

McAfee

®

SiteAdvisor

®

Enterprise Plus is a browser protection solution that can be deployed

and managed by using McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator

®

4.0 or 4.5. The client software runs on

managed systems to protect users from threats they encounter while searching and browsing
websites with Internet Explorer or Firefox or downloading files with Internet Explorer. SiteAdvisor
Enterprise Plus is integrated with McAfee advanced protection solutions.

This guide provides information that you need to create a browsing security strategy for your
business and configure SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus policy options.

Benefits of using SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus

As SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus runs on each managed system, it notifies users about threats
they might encounter when searching or browsing websites by displaying the following:

Safety rating for each site

• When searching, safety ratings of green, yellow, red, and gray icons appear next to each

site listed on a search results page.

• When browsing, the SiteAdvisor menu button appears in the browser window in the color

that matches the safety rating for the current site.

Safety report for each site

• The report includes a detailed description of test results and feedback submitted by users

and site owners.

• Users access safety reports to learn more about how the safety rating for a site was

calculated.

Using the ePO Policy Catalog, administrators can create SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus policies that
determine which sites managed systems can access. They can assign actions to sites based on
their SiteAdvisor rating (for example, block red sites and warn users trying to access yellow
sites). They can create lists of authorized and prohibited sites based on URLs and domains.
Administrators can also customize the messaging that SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus displays to
managed systems, and prevent users from disabling the client software on managed systems.
