MEC

Overview

McAfee Embedded Control (MEC) blocks unauthorized applications and change on fixed-function, point-of-service infrastructures, including retail, medical and gaming devices, industrial control systems, office equipment, automotive, and military and aerospace devices. It provides simple, lightweight embedded antivirus technology to make devices resilient to malware attacks.

• Viable security for fixed-function and legacy systems, including point-of-service terminals, ATMs, and medical imaging systems.
• Low-overhead footprint does not impact system performance and is equally effective in standalone mode, without network access. McAfee Embedded Control runs transparently on systems.
• Continuous change detection prevents unauthorized, out-of-policy changes, and supports compliance standards, including PCI, SOX, and healthcare and energy industry requirements.
