Case Study: McAfee achieves rapid agility and secure mobile productivity with Office 365

McAfee relaunches on Microsoft 365 cloud, boosts agility and speed to secure reputation

When McAfee spun out from Intel, the newly independent cybersecurity company needed to reinvent its IT quickly to support a cloud‑first, mobile‑first business model while maintaining enterprise‑grade security and protecting its reputation. With about 7,500 employees and 2,000 contractors, McAfee faced the challenge of replacing legacy on‑premises systems, eliminating VPN friction, and enabling secure, real‑time collaboration across partners and remote workers.

McAfee deployed Microsoft 365—including Office 365, Teams, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, Windows 10, Azure AD, Intune and Enterprise Mobility + Security—with Microsoft Services in under two and a half months. The result: faster provisioning and product development, more productive teamwork (internal and with partners), secure mobile access without VPNs, and measurable gains in agility and customer support—illustrated by a keynote saved via OneDrive when a presenter’s laptop failed—positioning McAfee to operate more quickly and securely in the digital age.
