McAfee Buys Risk Management Firm
McAfee has been out purchasing quite a few companies these days, in order to build up their information security arsenal. Today they snatched up a risk management firm that aims to protect large businesses.
McAfee on Tuesday said it had acquired Preventsys, a company that specializes in security risk management and compliance. The technology will be integrated into McAfee’s solutions for large businesses in order to protect customer information and communicate security compliance to executives.
“With Preventsys technology, we can help our customers satisfy regulatory requirements for automated compliance reporting, while leveraging existing McAfee technologies such as McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and Foundstone,” said Ken Gonzalez, McAfee’s vice president of corporate development. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Looks to be a win-win situation for all involved. Since McAfee specifically speaks about ePO, I wonder exactly what else they plan to add to this already monstrous behemoth.
