ForeScout Joins McAfee Security Innovation Alliance

Customers to Benefit from Real-time Compliance Optimization Platform

CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- ForeScout Technologies, a
leader in access control and compliance solutions today announced that it has
joined the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) partner program. Under
the McAfee SIA program, ForeScout will integrate its CounterACT(TM) Network
Access Control solution with ePolicy Orchestrator(R) (ePO(TM)) software, the
McAfee enterprise security and compliance management system. This integration
will extend the network enforcement options managed therein and extend
coverage to more devices on the corporate network, including those in
non-802.1x environments.
Ayelet Steinitz, vice president of business development, remarked,
"ForeScout is excited to partner with McAfee to address our mutual customers'
need for our complementary NAC functionality. Furthermore, this combined
offering enables stronger enforcement across corporate networks drawing on the
strength of McAfee ePO software in combination with CounterACT's network
enforcement mechanisms. Mutual customers will be able to deploy the integrated
offering without any changes to their networks."
CounterACT is an out-of-band, clientless network access control appliance
that delivers business-ready NAC by providing the ability to detect every
device, interrogate the device for policy compliance, enforce network security
policies and remediate non-compliant systems. This is accomplished without any
form of network disruption. CounterACT provides complete pre- and post-connect
access control policy enforcement ensuring devices remain fully compliant with
network security policies. In addition, CounterACT's built-in intrusion
prevention module ensures the network is always protected from malicious
threats no matter where or how a device connects.
The McAfee ePO platform lets enterprises and governments centrally manage
security and compliance products from multiple vendors, offering unprecedented
cost savings and return on investment. With more than 35,000 customers and
managing more than 60 million PCs and servers, this unique platform is helping
McAfee SIA partners to extend their reach and create complementary
functionality. Detailed information on the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance
and McAfee ePO are available at: http://www.mcafee.com/sia.
According to Joe Gottlieb, vice president of corporate strategy and
technology alliances for McAfee: "Our customers must manage risk by balancing
network access with security policy enforcement and continuous compliance
management. McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator is the management platform of choice
for these tasks and ForeScout will fit right in with their innovative NAC
enforcement options."
