Skybox security joins mcafee security innovation alliance

 

SAN 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 their associated management costs," said Joe Gottlieb, vice president of corporate strategy and technology alliances, McAfee.
