Insightix BSA Visibility Attains McAfee Compatible Status in the McAfee SIA
Ra’anana, Israel — March 3, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Insightix, a leader of real-time network security intelligence and control solutions, today announced that Insightix Business Security Assurance (BSA) Visibility has achieved McAfee® Compatible status in the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance program. Insightix BSA Visibility is now interoperable with McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator® (McAfee ePO™) software. By providing total network visibility to the McAfee ePO platform, Insightix BSA Visibility improves the platform’s management of security and risk from previously unknown devices across the enterprise network.

Despite major investments in technology, few organizations are able to maintain an up-to-date inventory or provide documentation about the devices connected to their networks. As a result, a significant knowledge gap exists between the perceived state and the actual state of a network's security. Management and security measures are only partially applied, risk cannot be accurately determined, and organizations find themselves unable to manage devices they are not aware of.

Insightix BSA provides total network visibility with real-time network, device, and user intelligence to the McAfee ePO platform, enhancing security and risk management by including visibility for more devices across the network. This real-time network situational awareness provides the information necessary to view the actual security state of the network, to know about associated risks an organization is exposed to, and to enable corrective actions to reduce the risk.

"We're delighted that Insightix has completed testing BSA Visibility, and that it has achieved McAfee Compatible Status, making the company a McAfee Technology Partner" said Ed Barry, senior director of the Security Innovation Alliance, McAfee. “Our joint solution enables McAfee security to be applied to previously unknown devices on the network, helping to reduce risk and improve compliance."

"We are pleased that BSA has attained McAfee Compatible status," said Ofir Arkin, Founder and CTO of Insightix. "Our joint solution enables our mutual customers to accurately measure risk according to the current state of the network, knowing the actual risk they are exposed to at any time, and enabling faster corrective actions. Security and compliance status can now be effectively controlled, and workflows can be defined in response to changes on the network”.

Insightix BSA provides 24x7x365 network, device, and user intelligence, maintaining a real-time inventory of ALL assets connected to the enterprise network, their profiles, and the identities of those using the assets. Network information is continuously collected to reflect the actual real-time state of the network. The real-time network situational awareness provided by Insightix BSA is the foundation needed, by every security solution.

The McAfee ePO platform enables enterprises and governments to 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 close to 60 million PCs and servers, this unique platform is helping McAfee Security Innovation Alliance partners to extend their reach and create complementary functionality.
