To resurrect its maligned managed security service effort, McAfee will unveil this week a new service to provide small and midsize businesses with hosted antivirus protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Available only to solution providers in McAfee’s SecurityAlliance partner program, the new Partner Security Service gives solution providers a more flexible contract under which to work and offers expanded upselling opportunities, the partners said.<\/p>\n
Based on the latest McAfee Managed VirusScan technology, the new service is a revised take on McAfee’s VirusScan ASaP, which has long prompted complaints from partners.<\/p>\n
Dave Roberts, McAfee’s senior vice president of channels for North America, described the new service as “ideal” for businesses with limited IT expertise or personnel. “This service enables our channel partners to become managed service providers,” he said.<\/p>\n
The Partner Security Service features a Web-based policy configuration tool that enables solution providers to manage multiple customers, schedule on-demand security scans and push out new capabilities, Roberts said.<\/p>\n
“This new service takes care of everything for them and makes us look like geniuses.”<\/p>\n
