McAfee Foundstone Gains the Highest Trust of Customers Worldwide

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today announced that the McAfee® Foundstone® appliance won the Excellence in Risk Management award from the readers of the Info Security Products Guide.

"It's a tremendous honor that the readers of Info Security Products Guide trust the Foundstone appliance more than any other product in its category," said Vimal Solanki, senior director of product marketing. "According to a study by CSO Magazine, risk and compliance today is the number one driver for security spending and is a key security challenge for our customers. McAfee Foundstone solutions are a key component of our approach to security risk management. McAfee SRM makes it easy for customers to find, evaluate, enforce, protect, and fix their IT vulnerabilities, security policies, and policy violations. They can more easily protect valuable assets, and comply with regulations and policies."

McAfee Foundstone appliances use a priority-based approach to identify risk and help IT organizations make better and more informed security decisions. Security professionals can immediately determine how emerging threats and vulnerabilities affect their risk profile. They can more easily and accurately comply with regulations and policies. And, Foundstone's highly flexible reporting capabilities generate detailed and summary reports for varied audiences and varied needs.

Enterprise customers who use McAfee's system protection solution can benefit from the tight integration between Foundstone and McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator®. Foundstone is the only network scanner that can incorporate countermeasure intelligence from a system protection agent. McAfee Remediation Manager, another McAfee SRM component, can automatically fix the IT vulnerabilities and policy violations identified by Foundstone.
