McAfee, Inc. Announces Latest SIA Partners to Pass Interoperability Testing

McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) today announced that three of its current McAfee® Security Innovation Alliance™ (SIA) partners, ArcSight, Application Security, Inc. and SenSage, have passed compatibility testing. These innovative joint solutions will help mutual customers improve their security and compliance while lowering operational costs.

ArcSight now integrates with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator^® (ePO™) to enable closed-loop security monitoring, log management and policy enforcement. By passing alerts generated from correlated events into ePO, the ArcSight SIEM Platform drives the quick detection of security threats, compliance violations and policy breaches, improving the context for targeted countermeasure, audit and remediation functions provided by McAfee security solutions. Application Security, Inc. now enables joint customers to view and report on database vulnerabilities, threats and events from the ePO console, and SenSage now provides in-depth reporting on log data from virtually any McAfee product and publishes reports directly into ePO dashboards.

To stimulate further innovation and interoperability, McAfee is also hosting its first SIA Developer Conference today, a one-day event being held in Las Vegas. As part of the Developer Conference, McAfee will be announcing the winner of its 2008 Most Innovative Technology Partner Award to the SIA partner that best leverages the McAfee security and compliance management platform to deliver joint customer value. The winner will be highlighted on the McAfee SIA Web site later today at www.mcafee.com/sia. The SIA Developer’s conference is being held in conjunction with FOCUS 08, McAfee’s user conference sponsored in part by 19 SIA partners who will either showcase their completed integrations or speak about their upcoming integrations.

In addition, McAfee has added six new partners to the SIA program, including Alcatel-Lucent, Centrify, netForensics, Prevari, Secure Elements and SPYRUS. "McAfee is investing in the SIA program to help position both McAfee and our partners for future growth,” said Joe Gottlieb, vice president of corporate strategy and technology alliances, McAfee. "We have also recently extended the program to include partners that provide authentication technologies that supplement McAfee’s data protection products. Through interoperability testing, we can together help our customers drive operational savings with ‘McAfee Compatible’ products. This makes it easier for businesses to improve their protection, manageability and overall return on their security investment with faster deployment times and faster time-to-value.”

The SIA program accelerates the development of interoperable security products and simplifies the integration of those products within complex customer environments. Through the program, these companies will integrate with McAfee ePO software, McAfee’s industry-leading security and compliance management platform, and/or McAfee Endpoint Encryption software, an enterprise-wide security solution that uses powerful encryption and strong access control to prevent unauthorized data access on desktops, laptops, and Tablet PCs as well as smartphones and PDAs.

Partners Demonstrate Proven Commitment to Compatibility Testing:

ArcSight

The integration of the ArcSight SIEM Platform with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator software combines the monitoring, event correlation, and archival capabilities of the ArcSight SIEM Platform with McAfee's security and compliance management capabilities, enabling security and IT professionals to quickly detect and respond to a broad range of security threats and compliance violations.

"We are proud of the powerful security event detection, compliance monitoring and remediation workflow that this compelling integration of the ArcSight SIEM Platform and the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator software delivers,” said Jeff Scheel, senior vice president of business development at ArcSight. "The joint solution dramatically improves incident response time to a wide variety of security threats and addresses compliance for PCI, SOX, HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.”

Application Security, Inc.

The integration between McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator software and DbProtect from Application Security, Inc. allows McAfee ePO software administrators to view and report on database vulnerabilities, threats and events, thereby extending the reach of McAfee Total Protection for Endpoint Solution (ToPS) suite.

"Monitoring and compliance requirements in today's enterprise IT environments involve large quantities of sensitive data, and it’s critical for organizations to harden their security posture at the core, where the bulk of that data lives,” said Eric T. Gonzales, co-founder and director, business development and strategic partnerships, Application Security, Inc. "Our partnership with McAfee will dramatically reduce risk for IT organizations facing the mounting pressure of compliance initiatives, new attack methodologies and the economics associated with data breaches.”

SenSage

SenSage provides in-depth reporting on log data from virtually any McAfee product and can now publish reports directly into McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator dashboards. The SenSage integration allows McAfee ePO software customers to access compliance, security and summary reports without leaving ePO database.

"The SenSage data integration with ePolicy Orchestrator software opens up a whole new level of reporting capabilities,” said Dan Barahona, vice president of business development for SenSage. "The McAfee Compatible integration allows customers to access SenSage's broad log data reporting capabilities, making ePolicy Orchestrator software a single source for managing and reporting on key McAfee systems, as well as third-party products for a complete 360-degree view of user and other network activity required for compliance, security and forensic investigations.”

"With tens of thousands of laptops lost or stolen each year, it is important that customers have the most advanced solution available to protect their data,” said Tom Burns, head of Alcatel-Lucent enterprise activities for Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise activities. "The combination of the Alcatel-Lucent always on OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian with McAfee’s Endpoint Encryption software at enterprise endpoints will deliver the ultimate solution to protect lost and stolen laptops: strong encryption with remote wipe capabilities and GPS location for laptop recovery.”

"By applying TRM to measure system strength and model recommended enhancements, clients can easily determine where they should best apply their limited resources to achieve the highest level of impact.”

Secure Elements

Secure Elements, a division of Fortinet, delivers NIST SCAP Validated solutions for desktops and servers and provides enterprise visibility into security and configuration postures.
