Avecto Joins McAfee Security Innovation Alliance
Customers to benefit from world’s leading privilege management product
Boston MA and Manchester UK
Avecto, the leader in Windows Privilege Management, today
announced that it has joined the McAfee® Security Innovation
Alliance™ (SIA) partner program.
Under the McAfee SIA program, Avecto will integrate its
Privilege Guard solution with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO),
enabling customers to centrally manage and report on application
privileges across desktops and servers.
Avecto's Privilege Guard solution enables IT departments to
delegate privileges to individual applications and tasks,
eliminating the need to grant administrative rights to users. This
state of 'least privilege' means that users run as standard, and
are provided with the minimum rights to perform their roles based
on the applications they use and the tasks they perform.
"Privilege Guard provides many benefits, including increased
desktop and server security, reduced operational costs and the
ability to meet external or internal compliance initiatives", said
Mark Austin, CTO at Avecto. "Avecto's partnership with McAfee will
benefit our joint customers by enabling them to manage and report
on privileged activity through tight integration with McAfee
ePO".
By integrating with ePO, Avecto will extend its award winning
privilege management solution to McAfee customers, providing them
with rich reporting capabilities and proactive management of the
Privilege Guard from within ePO.
"By implementing products that are compatible with McAfee
solutions, our customers experience faster deployment times and
reduced costs," said Ed Barry, vice president of the Security
Innovation Alliance, McAfee. "Security should be easy to manage, so
McAfee has taken the steps needed to open up its security risk
management architecture and provide customers with the tools to
easily manage their multi-vendor security environments. The result
is greater protection, reduced risk and increased compliance."
McAfee ePO 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 customers and managing more than
60 million PCs and servers, this unique platform is helping Avecto
extend their reach and create complementary functionality.
