Developer Trellix
1.1 COMMON CRITERIA CONFORMANCE
The evaluation was conducted using the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1
Revision 5, for conformance to the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 5.
The TOE claims the following conformance:
Evaluation Assurance Level 2 augmented by ALC_FLR.2– Flaw Reporting Procedures (EAL2+)
1.2 TOE DESCRIPTION
McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) is a security management solution that protects computer systems against known and
unknown threats. These threats include malware, suspicious communications, unsafe websites, and downloaded files.
In the evaluated configuration the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 5.10.x is used to manage McAfee Endpoint Security
Client (ENS) 10.7.x client software. The platform on which the ePO software is installed must be dedicated to functioning as
the management system.
Security functionality is enforced on client computers through the following integrated modules working collectively to
protect systems:
• Threat Prevention - Checks for viruses, spyware, unwanted programs, and other threats by scanning items
automatically when Users access them, or on demand. Threat Prevention detects threats, then takes the actions that
have been configured to protect systems.
• Firewall - Monitors communication between the computer and resources on the network and the Internet. Intercepts
suspicious communications.
• Web Control – Monitors web searching and browsing activity on client systems, and blocks downloads and access
to websites based on safety rating and content.
• Adaptive Threat Protection – Analyzes content from the enterprise, and decides how to respond, based on file
reputation, rules and reputation thresholds.
Together, these modules are referred to as the McAfee Endpoint Security Client. In addition, the Common module provides
settings for common features, such as interface security and logging. This module is installed automatically if any other
module is installed.
