Product summary
The main purpose of CWS is to discover and automatically import Virtual Machines (VMs) from Data Centers in Public Clouds and Private Clouds. Then, it displays them in the ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) System Tree. An administrator can then deploy the McAfee Agent and other products to the VMs. The administrator can also view and query their virtualization properties, protection status, and security compliance, through several dashboards and queries.
