Insightix, a principal provider of real-time network security intelligence and control solutions, has announced the development of a newly automated solution in association with McAfee (News - Alert) which would facilitate incessant risk monitoring on a network. The new joint solution integrates Insightix BSA Visibility with the McAfee ePO platform and McAfee Vulnerability Manager, thereby endowing users with total risk visibility pooled with up-to-date threat information. By the continuous accumulation of network information, it provides users with a complete view of risk intelligence signifying the real time network security position in addition to suggesting the countermeasures to be adopted.

Ed Barry, vice president of the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance, said in a release that, “We’re delighted to partner with Insightix and their innovative risk mitigation solution. Users can focus their security efforts on assets that are critical to their, business, and can do so based on very complete, accurate, and timely risk intelligence. This helps deliver greater protection and improved compliance at a very low cost.”

The solution allows the users to exercise complete control over the security state of the network with the help of the total risk intelligence being provided, thereby drawing the attention of the users abruptly to assets of critical business importance. By streamlining the security efforts, the new solution facilitates risk minimization and threat mitigation.

In a release, Ofir Arkin, founder and CTO of Insightix, said that, “Our joint solution enables our mutual customers to accurately measure risk according to the current state of the network, knowing the actual risk they are exposed to at any time, and enables faster corrective actions. Security and compliance status can now be effectively controlled, and workflows can be defined in response to changes on the network.”

A real time inventory of the entire assets connected to the business network along with the identities of the asset users and asset profiles is maintained by Insightix BSA for providing device, user and network intelligence 24/7 throughout the year. It also delivers policy violation and precise vulnerability information both of which are critical factors governing the security state of the network.
