October 8, 2009
Fairfax, VA, October 6, 2009 – Allen Corporation of America’s Cyber Security Division today announced that it has joined the McAfee® Security Innovation Alliance™ (SIA) partner program. Under the McAfee SIA program, Allen Corporation will integrate management of its Advanced Threat Identification™ (ATI) with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™) platform, enabling customers to quickly identify and initiate targeted forensic investigations for a broad range of malware and unauthorized content throughout an enterprise.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 McAfee SIA partners extend their reach and create complementary functionality.
ATI is able to detect advanced forms of malicious code including metamorphic and polymorphic malware, as well as a broad range of other malware and unauthorized content. With ATI, administrators can perform audits, time stamp digital evidence, expose steganography usage, collect evidence from live running systems, and more. Allen will use McAfee ePO software to deploy and manage ATI agents on targeted hosts in an enterprise network.
According to Chet Hosmer, Allen Corporation’s Chief Scientist and Sr. Vice President for Cyber Security, “The Security Innovation Alliance enables McAfee customers to leverage their investments in McAfee while adding complementary capabilities, including ones for malware detection and incident response, such as Allen’s Advanced Threat Identification.”
“A key goal behind the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance program is to accelerate the development of interoperable security products and simplify the management of those products in complex customer environments,” said Ed Barry, senior director of the Security Innovation Alliance at McAfee. “We’re thrilled to see Allen Corporation leverage McAfee’s investment in its security risk management platform and extend this value to our mutual customers.”
