Unisys Integrates McAfee Foundstone Into Global Security Operations Centre Infrastructure25 January 2006
McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE), the leader in Intrusion Prevention and Security Risk Management, today announced that Unisys, a global leader in outsourced managed security and network services, has implemented McAfee Foundstone as the vulnerability management component of its managed security services.
Unisys leverages McAfee's closed-loop, appliance-based security solution to manage its customers' business risks by identifying vulnerabilities in external-facing and internal infrastructure, correlating those vulnerabilities against potential attacks, and responding and remediating true threats based on prior asset discovery and prioritization. Unisys also uses the solution to scan client data center infrastructure to ascertain whether server configurations are in compliance with corporate security policies, helping clients meet external audit standards.
"As a leader in managed network and application security services, it is a requirement to be able to correlate the hundreds of millions of security events we manage each day to known customer vulnerabilities," said John Summers, Global Director Managed Security Services, Unisys. "We implemented McAfee as a major component of our core security environment due to its industry-leading vulnerability management capabilities, proven track record and ease of integration into our ArcSight-based security event management infrastructure. Adding McAfee Foundstone to our security solutions suite furthers Unisys' capability to manage clients' IT infrastructure and help them realize key benefits of secure business operations: greater focus on their core business with minimized risks, higher infrastructure availability, and improved operational efficiency and cost control."
