Mcafee DE ?

Still trying to figure out just what this is. Is it Mcafee Managed Bitlocker ? Similar to MNE and Filevault ?

Thanks,

Justin

MDE is the new name for EEPC (Endpoint Encryption for PCs). Strangely we went back to the SafeBoot naming convention (SafeBoot Drive Encryption, or SBDE) from 2005. 

The managed bitlocker/filevault is McAfee Native Encryption (MNE) 2.0

Do I have to buy MDE ? I already own EEPC.

I wasnt aware that MNE did Bitlocker. I thought only Filevault.

MNE2 does bitlocker. MNE1.0 only Filevault.

If you are paying for support and maintanence, no. MDE is v7.1 of EEPC 7.0 etc. Just a name change.

Hello Justin

A document that may be of use is the very comprehensive DE FAQ that the engineering team created.  The article includes bookmarks to assist in the navigation of the document.
