Preventsys has pioneered an advanced Security Risk Management System for large companies that need to proactively protect confidential customer and company information, ensure high availability of critical IT assets, and easily communicate security compliance to executive management. Preventsys currently provides the only solution that consolidates vulnerability, configuration and threat data from multi-vendor tools into an enterprise dashboard and automates the security compliance reporting process.
"McAfee's acquisition of Preventsys fulfils a key component of our risk management and compliance strategy, which is based on helping our customers leverage their existing security technologies," said Patrick Hayati, Regional Director, Middle East, McAfee.
"With Preventsys technology, we can help our customers satisfy regulatory requirements for automated compliance reporting, while leveraging existing McAfee technologies such as McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and Foundstone."
According to industry analyst firm IDC, "Budgetary and staffing constraints will continue to drive organizations to look for better ways to cost-effectively manage their security infrastructure. Security and vulnerability management software solutions can simplify the complexity associated with managing multiple security solutions while at the same time increasing the effectiveness of protection." (IDC, "Worldwide Security and Vulnerability Management Software 2005-2009 Forecast and Analysis: Taking Control of the Security Environment," Dec. 2005, #34604)
"We see an opportunity to bring automated security compliance reporting to McAfee's enterprise customers," said Patrick Harr, chief executive officer for Preventsys. "It is the only solution that can consolidate multi-vendor assessment information and be easily integrated into a user's new or existing security tools without ever having to change the security process or reports.
This will decrease the time and costs associated with manual auditing and compliance reporting."
