Trellix Insights vs. VirusTotal

For the entire time that McAfee MVISION Insights was active, McAfee MVISION Insights provides you insights about threats worldwide and how the threats can affect our organization. Therefore Bank's admins can respond quickly and accurately before any breach happens. The most interesting part is McAfee MVISION gathers data from more than one billion sensors located worldwide and correlates with their threat DBs and provides the most effective information.

McAfee MVISION Insights was the first in the market to release such a proactive product and when we purchase it McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) was already in the organization for other security products (DLP and Antivirus consoles). So it was convenient to integrate the MVISION Insights module into our existing ePO.
