McAfee Security Innovation Alliance (SIA)

The McAfee Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) is a technology partnering program that:

• Accelerates the development of interoperable security products
• Simplifies the integration of these products with complex customer environments
• Delivers solutions to maximize the value of existing customer investments, reduce time to problem resolution, and lower operational costs

Central to McAfee’s relationship with each SIA partner is at least one customer use case. Use cases are driven by the needs of mutual customers and are built around innovative integration ideas. Use cases improve threat visibility and create powerful new security behaviors and workflows. For example, an SIA partner might link their real-time monitoring and threat detection with our incident response and compliance reporting.

McAfee SIA partners are screened for leadership and innovation in their respective market segments. With scores of vendors already on board, SIA is fast becoming the security industry’s premier technology-partnering program. For a brief profile of the services each partner provides, browse the SIA Partner Directory.

Each partner begins as an Associate Partner. After implementing at least one use case and completing McAfee integration testing, the partner is promoted to Technology Partner status and the joint solution receives the “McAfee Compatible” logo.

To learn more about the SIA program, read the SIA Brochure, see the SIA Program Summary or browse the Alphabetical SIA Partner Directory, our catalog of partner offerings that work with and complement McAfee security solutions.

The McAfee Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) is a technology partnering program created to help accelerate the development of interoperable security products and to simplify the integration of these products within complex customer environments. Working together, McAfee and its partners deliver solutions more comprehensive than those available from any single vendor.

If you are a security or compliance solutions vendor, you, too, can integrate with McAfee’s industry-leading open architecture and reach over 35,000 organizations that have already invested in McAfee’s Security and Risk Management (SRM) solutions. Participation in the SIA allows you to extend your reach and create new revenue opportunities by adding complementary capabilities not found in McAfee’s core offerings. The program also offers joint marketing, lead generation, and channel synergies that help create a win-win scenario for you, our customers, our channel partners, and McAfee.

Today’s sophisticated attacks can cause business disruptions, damage brand reputation, and create legal liabilities. Large organizations deploy solutions from multiple vendors because the truth is no single vendor can meet all of their security and compliance needs. But today’s security threats and economic challenges demand that products from multiple vendors interoperate to provide better protection, reduce operational costs, and streamline the compliance lifecycle.

Partner Integration Tracks
McAfee SIA partners choose one of the following integration tracks:

• Most SIA partners use a software development kit (SDK) to integrate with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform, McAfee’s centralized security and compliance management platform used by 35,000 customers, managing 60 million endpoints. McAfee provides help-desk support to the partner’s development effort and then performs compatibility testing.
  
  
• Data Protection (DP) SIA partners enhance McAfee’s DP encryption portfolio with their own technologies, enabled via interoperability. Areas of focus include authentication (smart cards, USB security tokens), smart card reader, and/or encryption (encrypting hard disk drive) solutions. Integrations are performed by McAfee and are driven by demand for the joint solution.

Partner Participation Levels
McAfee SIA provides benefits that accumulate as you strengthen your commitment to the partnership.

• Associate Partners: Receive access to McAfee engineering resources to make their products compatible with McAfee solutions, and are eligible for several joint marketing opportunities even before completing their integration.
  
  
• Technology Partners: Actively market their McAfee-compatible solutions. They get all Associate Partner benefits, plus use of the “McAfee Compatible” logo, and participation in additional marketing, customer, and channel events.
  
  
• Sales Teaming Partners: Selected Technology Partners are invited to become Sales Teaming Partners and collaborate with McAfee sales teams to drive more complete security solutions to large organizations.

McAfee Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) partners enjoy an extensive range of benefits tailored to each participation level and integration track.

Technology Benefits

• When you enter the program as an Associate Partner with the goal of integrating with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform, you can download a software development kit (SDK), participate in online training, access our Technical Support KnowledgeBase, and leverage developer support resources. Alliance managers are always available to assist you.
  
  
• If you have chosen to integrate with our Data Protection portfolio, McAfee will work with you to prioritize the integration on its roadmap.
