Install or update McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and Agent
Before installing McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention, you must first have the ePolicy Orchestrator
server installed, and you must install McAfee Agent on the target hosts.
You need to have an understanding of policy implementation with ePolicy Orchestrator to
successfully adopt McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention. If you are not already familiar with policy
creation using ePolicy Orchestrator, see the ePolicy Orchestrator documentation.
Why ePolicy Orchestrator?
McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention requires ePolicy Orchestrator because its deployment relies
on organization-specific policies and rules that are routinely adjusted as the business and user
community change. McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention takes advantage of the proven
infrastructure of ePolicy Orchestrator, which increases the consistency of policy application,
decreases errors, and improves administrator visibility and control.
