More industries are relying on embedded systems, and the limitations on computing, control, and communication are no longer obstacles. The challenge now is to protect these devices and systems from being used in unintended ways, minimize possible vulnerabilities and exploits of openly sourced components, and secure these devices over their extended life spans.

McAfee Embedded Control software is the industry's first and only solution to secure embedded devices and automate the enforcement of software change control policies on them. It increases device integrity while reducing risk and long-term support costs for manufacturers and their service channels. McAfee Embedded Control is deployed by major manufacturers of automated teller machines, POS terminals, medical devices, thin clients, storage appliances, and other devices. These customers have realized significant and rapid returns on their investments by reducing ongoing in-field support and breakage incidents due to unauthorized changes, and developing new services that give them distinct market advantages.
