Preset protection

Host Intrusion Prevention offers basic protection through the McAfee default policy settings. This “out-of-the-box” protection requires no tuning and generates few events. Agents can be initially deployed on a large scale, even before you have had a chance to tune the deployment. For many environments, where the agent is installed on workstations and laptops, this basic protection may be sufficient.

Advanced protection is also available from some preset IPS and firewall policies. A profile for servers, for example, needs stronger protection than that offered in basic workstation protection. Or you can use the preset advanced protection policies as a basis for creating custom policies.
