Securing New Frontiers

As technologies expand and evolve, security must keep pace. But few companies have the security know-how to match their innovations. That’s why leading vendors in every product category, from silicon to satellites, are making McAfee their partner of choice.

McAfee works with our select Global Alliances partners to create bundled or embedded security that runs seamlessly with the technology at hand.

Only McAfee delivers industry-leading security in an open architecture, so integration is easy and efficient. And because McAfee is a full-spectrum security company, we offer each partner a one-stop security solution.

Backup & Recovery

Unified storage systems keep data safe, organized, and instantly available. But as data grows in volume and complexity, storage technology vendors and their customers face new challenges — namely, to meet data retention and data privacy requirements, to accommodate emerging technologies such as virtualization, and to protect data from a growing amount of malware.

Given these challenges, several of the world’s leading unified storage and backup, recovery, and archive (BURA) vendors have turned to McAfee for deep data protection and efficient management. McAfee helps BURA partners tackle the toughest problems in every area, including data security, content indexing, and virtualization. With each partner, we share the knowledge and the open architecture required to build McAfee security deep into core storage infrastructures for seamless and scalable protection, plus simplified compliance and reporting. While this work is complex, the goal is simple: Give customers consolidated security management and clean data on demand.

Data Protection

In a world where data is increasingly under threat from malware and hackers, most companies turn to outside vendors to create a solution to protect sensitive data. Many of the top vendors, in turn, partner with McAfee to round out their security offerings. A consulting company, for example, identifies a client’s data weakness and works with McAfee to install a solution. A technology solutions provider embeds McAfee data protection into its architecture. A document rights management vendor asks McAfee to track data, report on it, and develop the best way to protect it. And a PC vendor adds McAfee security tools for data at rest and data in motion.

Vendors that work with McAfee don’t just get technology. They get the people and the processes they need to implement McAfee data protection in the most efficient manner, across the full lifecycle of data. They also benefit from the deep research and 24/7 vigilance of McAfee Labs, our 350-person worldwide security team.

Risk & Compliance

Bridging the gap between systems management and data security, McAfee offers its partners an integrated approach to reducing risk and demonstrating compliance. Using McAfee’s knowledge, experience, and open architecture, McAfee partners can build security into their existing systems, and effectively protect their entire organization.

A systems integration partner delivering IT operations solutions that include configuration and patch management might also need complete and automated data security, vulnerability remediation, and proof of compliance to meet the latest guidelines. By building McAfee security right into their systems, McAfee’s partners can offer their customers more efficient and effective ways to reduce their risk and demonstrate compliance.

Systems & Desktop Management

McAfee provides world-class solutions that allow its partners to drastically reduce the cost and complexity of securing and managing their IT infrastructures, bridging the gap between systems management and security functions. Together, we create system and desktop management solutions that eliminate boundaries between people, processes, and technologies to reduce risk, achieve efficiencies, and improve responsiveness.

Virtualization

Turning the new, open platform of virtualization into a safe environment, McAfee helps partners offer their customers the benefits of virtualization along with complete, scalable security. Threats such as viruses, worms, spyware, and Trojans target software vulnerabilities in virtual or offline images, and swift replication and server sprawl threaten unsecured and unpatched servers. McAfee’s network security products protect VM server farms, secure virtualized desktops, and assess vulnerabilities and identify risks as soon as they arise. Working with the largest virtualization companies to further secure the virtual infrastructure and improve visibility and management, McAfee’s centrally managed, customized protection for online and offline virtual machines, strengthens security, cuts costs, and simplifies compliance.
