McAfee, Inc. Completes Acquisition of Solidcore Systems, Inc.

McAfee Combines Continuous Compliance and Dynamic Application Whitelisting to
Significantly Expand its Market Reach
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today announced that it has completed the acquisition
of privately owned Solidcore Systems, Inc. for approximately $33 million in cash
up front and with an earn-out of up to an additional $14 million if certain
performance targets are met. McAfee can now offer the industry`s first
end-to-end compliance solution that includes dynamic whitelisting and
application trust technology, antivirus, antispyware, host intrusion prevention,
policy auditing and firewall technologies.

As businesses seek to more easily mitigate the risks associated with vulnerable
or malicious applications downloaded by employees, they will extend beyond
signature-based anti-malware with the addition of dynamic whitelisting and
application trust technology. The integration of Solidcore with McAfee will
provide customers with a high level of system integrity and security across
their physical and virtual environments, and allow customers to more quickly and
easily meet compliance requirements.

"Solidcore has become a critical component to our ability to meet our Payment
Card Industry compliance requirements, while protecting our point of sale
infrastructures throughout all of our 193 stores across Canada," said Mike
Lewis, executive vice president and CIO for Giant Tiger Stores, one of the
largest family discount store chains in Canada. "As a McAfee ePolicy
Orchestrator software customer, we are eager to reap the combined benefits of
Solidcore`s dynamic whitelisting and real-time file integrity monitoring with
the comprehensive security and compliance management capabilities of the McAfee
ePO console. This is definitely a win-win for our company and our investments."

"IT organizations need broad sets of solutions that help manage across multiple
stovepipes in order to give IT executives a clear view of what`s happening
within the company`s IT infrastructure," said Fred Broussard, research director
for PC, Device and IT Service Management at IDC. "With Solidcore's compliance
and governance capabilities, McAfee gains granular control over managing changes
to the IT environment. This capability is especially important to IT
organizations that use process standards like ITIL to help manage their IT
environments."

"With this transaction, McAfee has significantly expanded its reach to include
security for embedded devices, including automated teller machines, point of
sale systems, multifunction printers, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
systems (SCADA) and mobile devices," said George Kurtz, senior vice president
and general manager, McAfee. "We will give customers a single security platform
for dynamic file and application control across the enterprise following the
integration of Solidcore`s products into the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
console. The end result will be improved IT compliance, security and
availability."
