3 McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection Suites End of Life
PRODUCT FAQ
Q. What will be replacing McAfee SaaS Endpoint
Protection and McAfee Security Center?
A. Customers who have deployed the client protection
technologies of the McAfee SaaS Endpoint
Protection suites will be transitioned to the new
endpoint security platform—McAfee Endpoint
Security. Customers using McAfee Security Center
will be transitioned to McAfee ePO Cloud to allow for
complete cloud-based management.
Customers who would like to activate ePO Cloud
before they are notied of subscription availability

■
McAfee Endpoint Security is a collaborative
protection framework that replaces the
functionality of McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection
technology. This endpoint security platform serves
as the foundation of a cloud assisted endpoint
security strategy by applying the cloud to enhance
protection, detection, and correction against
today’s advanced threats.
■
McAfee ePO Cloud provides a single ‘pane of
glass’ for highly scalable, exible, and automated
centralized management and enforcement of
security management policies. It provides end-to-
end visibility and a powerful automation feature
that reduces incident response times, strengthens
protection, and decreases the complexity of
managing risk and security.
Q. Why is McAfee Endpoint Protection Advanced for
SMB (TSI) going EOL?
A. McAfee Endpoint Protection Advanced for SMB
is going EOL because selected component
technologies are going EOL, making the oering no
longer compelling to customers. The products in
question are McAfee Enterprise Mobility Manager
(EMM) and McAfee SaaS Email Protection.
Q. What happens if I am an existing McAfee SaaS
Endpoint Protection customer?
A. As an existing McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection
customer, you will be transitioned to McAfee
Endpoint Security for client protection and McAfee
ePO Cloud to match your node counts and expiry
dates. You will be contacted with details on how
to upgrade—this will require activation of a new
account in McAfee ePO Cloud and re-installation
of Endpoint Security. Most existing McAfee SaaS
Endpoint Protection customers have support
contracts that will expire within the end of support
window (January 11, 2019). If you have a support
contract that extends beyond that period, it will be
addressed on an individual basis.
