NetWitness to Integrate with McAfee’s ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) Console
HERNDON, VA – August 24, 2009 – NetWitness Corporation, the leading provider of next generation network monitoring and threat analysis solutions, today announced that it has joined the McAfee® Security Innovation Alliance™ (SIA). As a member of the McAfee SIA program, NetWitness will integrate its automated risk discovery and remediation solution with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™) console, enabling enterprise administrators to view a new range of risk and threat metrics in ePO. This integration will allow users to respond to critical network events with enhanced context including the security condition of hosts and the sensitivity of the data that resides on them.
“By performing data discovery and risk exposure analysis, NetWitness is able to provide automated, reproducible and scalable metrics to security, audit and compliance staffs and contain the clarity they need to prioritize and mitigate risk in a cost-effective and sensible way,” said Kurt Lee, Vice President of Business Development of NetWitness. “Joining McAfee’s Security Innovation Alliance program will expand our reach – providing a wider market of enterprises the ability to obtain the deepest view into exactly where their sensitive data resides, quickly identify which systems are most vulnerable, and prioritize their remediation.”
"We are pleased to add NetWitness to the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance," said Ed Barry, senior director of the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance. "Our customers are frequently looking for integrated solutions that provide comprehensive enterprise risk management. NetWitness offers an exciting addition to the Security Innovation Alliance by providing organizations the ability to discover where their sensitive information resides and which ePO software managed assets are most likely to be compromised, thus enabling them to take action in context."
The McAfee Security Innovation Alliance is a technology partnering program created to help accelerate the development of interoperable security products and to simplify the integration of these products within complex customer environments. Working together, McAfee and its partners deliver solutions more comprehensive than those available from any single vendor.
