McAfee NS Series - Deployment of an NS-series Sensor

Deployment of an NS-series Sensor
Deployment of a Sensor requires knowledge of your network to help determine the level of conguration and
the number of installed Sensors. You also need to determine the number of McAfee
®
ePolicy Orchestrator
®
(McAfee
®
ePO
™
) servers required to protect your network. The Sensor is purpose-built for the monitoring of
trac across one or more network segments.
Following is an example of a network topology using Gigabit Ethernet throughput. In the illustration, McAfee
®
Network Security Platform (formerly McAfee
®
IntruShield
®
) provides IPS protection to outsourced servers. High
port-density and virtualization provides a highly scalable solution, while Network Security Platform protects
against Web and eCommerce mail server exploits.
