McAfee Inc. has signed ArcSight Inc. to be part of its McAfee Security Innovation Alliance.
As a result of the partnership, ArcSight will integration its SIEM Platform with McAfee’s ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO). The Santa Clara, Calif.-based security vendor said that its customers will benefit from ArcSight’s ability to monitor, filter and send critical security events to McAfee’s ePO platform. For example, McAfee said, a worm attack observed by the ArcSight SIEM Platform could be updated with new anti-virus signatures, software or policies.
“The ArcSight event management and log management offerings are very complementary to the McAfee portfolio, but more importantly, we believe that the way that we are tightly integrating them with ePO will help our joint customers reduce their total cost of security and compliance operations,” Joe Gottlieb, vice-president of corporate strategy and technology alliances for McAfee, said in a release.
The agreement will also combine the compliance auditing of McAfee Policy Auditor with the compliance event archiving, alerting, and reporting of ArcSight Logger.
