JOSE, CA – April 7, 2008
– Skybox®
Security, Inc., the leader in Security Risk Management, today announced
that the company has expanded it’s relationship with McAfee® by joining
the Security Innovation AllianceÔ
(SIA). The SIA program accelerates the development of interoperable
security products and simplifies the integration of those products
within complex customer environments. Through the program, Skybox will
extend its collaboration with McAfee to include integration with
McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™)as
well as other McAfee technologies. Skybox will also be part of the
McAfee Solutions Pavilion (booth #1554) at the RSA Conference in San
Francisco, CA, April 7-10.
Skybox Security provides automated risk
assessment and compliance analysis software to global organizations.
Through a unique combination of automation and analytics, enterprises
can accurately pinpoint and prioritize high areas of risk and compliance
exposures in minutes versus weeks or months. By combining Skybox and
McAfee ePO solutions, customers can automate risk management and network
security compliance processes while improving security and lowering
compliance costs.
Skybox has already integrated its
Skybox View security risk management software platform with McAfee
Foundstone Enterprise and the two companies will collaborate further to
integrate other key McAfee solutions – including McAfee IntruShield,
McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention, and McAfee Remediation Manager. With these integrations customers benefit from:
-
A closed-loop security risk
lifecycle management, where Skybox’s risk analytics and mitigation
modeling and planning capabilities feed actionable intelligence to
further optimize controls for McAfee’s vulnerability scanning and
risk remediation technologies.
-
Comprehensive security compliance
analysis, where McAfee’s system security compliance capabilities
complement Skybox’s network security compliance functionality for
faster time to compliance with today’s demanding regulations and
best practices such as S-OX, PCI, HIPAA, FIMSA, NERC, BASEL II,
COBIT, ISO 17799 and ITIL.
"Skybox already has proven integrated
solutions in the field with McAfee and our customers are looking forward
to us extending this integration to include risk lifecycle management
and network security compliance," said Gidi Cohen, founder and chief
strategy officer, Skybox Security. "Solutions that enable organizations
to proactively assess their ever-changing risk and compliance profile
without breaking the bank deliver excellent time to value and reduced
cost for our mutual customers."
"By implementing Skybox solutions that
are compatible with McAfee solutions, our joint customers experience
faster deployment times and reduce multiple layers of information and
