McAfee has acquired Preventsys to allow it to offer
customers software to reduce the complexity of managing their
security.
Preventsys is a specialist in security risk management and
automated security compliance reporting.
Preventsys’ Security Risk Management System is designed for
large companies that need to proactively protect confidential
customer and company information, ensure availability of critical
IT assets, and easily communicate security compliance to executive
management.
The product consolidates vulnerability, configuration and threat
data from multi-vendor tools into a single enterprise-wide
dashboard, and automates the security compliance reporting
process.
Ken Gonzalez, McAfee vice president of corporate development,
said, “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.”
Financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
