What is McAfee?
McAfee's current public product material focuses on antivirus, scam, identity and privacy protection for individuals and households. The former McAfee Enterprise business combined with FireEye and later launched as Trellix. Enterprise endpoint procurement should therefore be evaluated under the current vendor and product name.

Key capabilities
- Consumer antivirus and device security plans
- Identity and scam-protection options by plan
- Subscription and renewal terms to inspect
Check operating-system coverage, device limits, renewal conditions and the support channel. Do not assume consumer plans include centralized enterprise administration.
Consider McAfee for personal or small-office device protection only after checking the specific subscription and supported devices. For managed enterprise EDR, compare current business vendors rather than relying on the historical McAfee brand.
The brand spans different corporate histories. Naming the present product scope prevents buyers from comparing a consumer subscription with an enterprise security platform.
