Avecto Joins McAfee Security Innovation Alliance
September 2011 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Avecto announced that it has joined the McAfee® Security Innovation Alliance™ (SIA) partner program. Under the McAfee SIA program, Avecto will integrate its Privilege Guard solution with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), enabling customers to centrally manage and report on application privileges across desktops and servers.
Avecto’s Privilege Guard solution enables IT departments to delegate privileges to individual applications and tasks, eliminating the need to grant administrative rights to users. This state of ‘least privilege’ means that users run as standard, and are provided with the minimum rights to perform their roles based on the applications they use and the tasks they perform.
By integrating with ePO, Avecto will extend its privilege management solution to McAfee customers, providing them with rich reporting capabilities and proactive management of the Privilege Guard from within ePO.
