Joint Customers Can Streamline the Gathering of Electronic Evidence
ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(Business Wire)--
MANDIANT Corporation, a leading provider of information security solutions and
services today announced that it has joined the McAfee Security Innovation
Alliance (SIA) partner program. Under the McAfee SIA program, MANDIANT will
integrate its MANDIANT Intelligent Response (MIR) with McAfee ePolicy
Orchestrator® (ePO) software. 

This integration will allow McAfee ePO software to deploy, update, and report on
the MIR Agent which gathers electronic evidence to support incident response,
electronic discovery and corporate investigations. This helps answer questions
like: Have you been breached? What data must be provided in response to a
subpoena? Were trade secrets stolen? Knowing the answer quickly lets an
organization manage the flow of information on its own terms - both internally
and externally.

"MANDIANT Intelligent Response automates and manages the incident response
process when an enterprise has been compromised," said Dave Merkel, Vice
President of Products at MANDIANT. "Responding to an incident in a timely and
comprehensive manner is essential; by partnering with McAfee the deployment and
continued updates of MIR Agents will be further expedited." 

McAfee ePO software is the first platform that 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 organizations that are managing more than 60 million desktops and
servers, this unique platform is helping McAfee SIA partners extend their reach
and create complementary functionality. For more information on the McAfee SIA
program and ePO software, please visit: http://www.mcafee.com/sia. 

"We are delighted to see MANDIANT join the SIA program to integrate their
technology with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform," said Ed Barry,
Security Innovation Alliance. "Our customers are increasingly looking for
integrated solutions that help gather electronic evidence to support incident
response, electronic discovery, and corporate investigations."
