Introduction
McAfee
®
Management of Native Encryption (MNE) is a management product that allows McAfee
®
ePolicy Orchestrator
®
(McAfee ePO
™
) administrators to manage Apple FileVault, which is an encryption
product from Apple that provides encryption on Macintosh (Mac) systems.
McAfee Management of Native Encryption provides an easy-to-use administrative interface to perform
these functions:
• Manage FileVault
• Report encryption status
• Recover systems
You can also use the reporting feature of MNE, without having to enable or disable FileVault, or
manage FileVault policy.
We provide support only for MNE and not FileVault. If you encounter any issues on FileVault, we
recommend that you contact Apple Support.
