McAfee

The company operates a software and subscription-based cybersecurity model. It develops and maintains endpoint, mobile, identity, VPN and cloud security products that protect devices, user identities and network traffic. Value is created by reducing malware, fraud and data-loss risk for individual users and organisations, and by centralising policy, monitoring and response for enterprise security teams.

Revenue is driven mainly by recurring subscriptions to consumer security suites, which bundle antivirus, VPN and identity/credit monitoring, and by recurring licences and SaaS subscriptions for enterprise endpoint, web gateway, SASE and management platforms. Additional value is created via acquisitions that add new security capabilities (VPN, CASB, zero-trust, browser isolation) and through ongoing threat intelligence, support and services that improve security outcomes and customer stickiness.

McAfee is a United States–based cybersecurity software company focused mainly on consumer security, with some legacy enterprise and cloud security products. Its portfolio spans endpoint protection, mobile security, VPN, identity and credit monitoring, secure web gateways and cloud access security solutions.

The company generates revenue primarily from paid subscriptions to its consumer security suites and recurring licences for enterprise endpoint and cloud security tools, distributed via direct online channels and partners. Core customers are consumers and households purchasing personal security and identity protection, plus business IT and security teams buying endpoint and network security solutions for corporate environments.
