Get reliable, real-time protection

  • Block unwanted and risky applications; use real-time, protocol-based rate limiting to apply application, protocol-type, and port-based bandwidth controls; prioritize business-critical traffic; rely on dynamic threat and vulnerability updates for complete, uninterrupted protection.

Block threats enterprise-wide

  • Prevent attacks before they occur with a single, industry-proven security device that protects every device on your network

Protect unpatched systems

  • Gain a first line of defense for unpatched systems; McAfee NSP keeps your system safe until a patch is deployed.

Integrate and scale to meet the needs of your business

  • Leverage the benefits of your existing security ecosystem; McAfee NSP integrates easily with McAfee Vulnerability Manager, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), and McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention.

Maintain your competitive advantage

  • Don’t let network threats and exploits disrupt your business operations or damage your position in the marketplace; our high-performance network-class security appliance protects your evolving security and network needs while delivering enterprise-level performance, reliability, and availability

Industry-leading intrusion detection and prevention

  • Use the McAfee NSP M-Series as an intrusion detection system (IDS) or as an intrusion protection system (IPS); more than 4,500 enterprises and service providers rely on McAfee NSP to protect their networks and network-connected devices

10-Gbps Ethernet performance with highest port density

  • Exceed carrier-class standards with McAfee NSP—the only IPS to achieve the NSS Lab’s 10-Gbps IPS certification; the M-Series offers better than 10-Gbps performance with the highest port density in the market

Blocks known and zero-day threats

  • Protect your entire infrastructure and every networked device from attacks, including zero-day, denial-of-service (DoS), and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS)

Internal firewall

  • Allow only appropriate traffic to travel over appropriate ports; McAfee NSP is embedded with an internal access control list (ACL) firewall that can be configured within the IPS

Built-in network access control and host quarantine

  • Block a “badly behaving” host and quarantine it on the network until it is repaired; integrate with McAfee Unified Secure Access to implement comprehensive health checks and define sophisticated enforcement policies

Built-in rate limiting

  • Throttle down the bandwidth for lower priority traffic (when necessary) to ensure that high-priority traffic is allowed appropriate throughput
