Be cautelous with HIPS, because in order to configure it properly you'll need ePO. Not all options are available in frontend GUI

[devnullius]

Be cautious ... you'll need ePO.

That's what Armstrong said ;p

I've copied the brochure from: http://www.mcafee.com/us/products/epolicy-orchestrator.aspx

"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) is widely acknowledged as the most advanced and scalable security management software in the industry.
