[February 17, 2011] Insightix Earns McAfee Compatible Status for Solution That Controls Risk in Accordance with the Actual State of the Network Tweet Feb 17, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Insightix, a provider of real-time network security intelligence and control solutions, announced it has developed a newly automated solution for continuously monitoring risk on a network in conjunction with McAfee. The joint solution provides total risk intelligence, enabling users to achieve control over the network's security state. This allows users to focus their security efforts on those assets that require immediate attention and that are of critical importance to the business, thereby reducing risk to a minimum, and mitigating new attacks. Security administrators know that they can't secure what they can't see. Insightix BSA Visibility provides total network visibility with real-time network, device, and user intelligence to the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) platform and to McAfee Vulnerability Manager, enabling them to maintain network-wide, up-to-date, total risk visibility. Real-time awareness of all devices on the network combined with accurate vulnerability and policy violation information is critical for knowing and controlling the true security state of a network, and Insightix BSA Visibility delivers both. Leveraging the integration between Insightix BSA Visibility, the McAfee ePO platform, and McAfee Vulnerability Manager, total risk visibility can be combined with up-to-the-minute threat information, and with specific countermeasures, creating a view of total risk intelligence that reflects the actual risk state of a network. "We're delighted to partner with Insightix and their innovative risk mitigation solution," said Ed Barry, VP of the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance. "Users can focus their security efforts on assets that are critical to their, business, and can do so based on very complete, accurate, and timely risk intelligence. This helps deliver greater protection and improved compliance at a very low cost". "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 enables faster corrective actions", said Ofir Arkin, Founder and CTO of Insightix. "Security and compliance status can now be effectively controlled, and workflows can be defined in response to changes on the network". Insightix BSA provides 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 provides a foundation that can be leveraged by any security solution.
