LockPath Completes Integration With McAfee Software to Expand Security and Risk Reporting Capabilities
OVERLAND PARK, KS, Jan 10, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
LockPath, a provider of innovative governance, risk and compliance
(GRC) applications, today announced the full integration of its
Keylight platform with McAfee Vulnerability Manager under the
auspices of the McAfee(R) Security Innovation Alliance(TM) (SIA).
This simple integration will provide mutual customers with greater
risk intelligence to tackle their risk and compliance challenges and
continues LockPath's mission to deliver unparalleled data integration
and correlation.
"There is a wide variation in the scope and functional capabilities
in the current set of solutions," notes Gartner Research Senior
Analyst Paul Proctor in the Hype Cycle for Governance, Risk and
Compliance Technologies, 2012. "Although there are many, the dominant
use case is automating the collection and analysis of general
computer controls. The use of connectors to import data from third
party security products and an IT-centric asset repository are
defining features of IT GRC that separate it from EGRC products."
The out-of-the-box integration quickly delivers integrated,
actionable dashboards and reports to provide a holistic view of an
organization's security and risk posture. After the administrator
enters the database location, username and password, Keylight
automatically imports all current and new McAfee vulnerability
findings without any needed user action. Users can easily create
adhoc reports to find the highest priority vulnerabilities and
leverage Keylight's advanced workflow capabilities to assign and
manage remediation. Additionally, Keylight automatically correlates
vulnerabilities to the organization's underlying assets and
deduplicates findings to reduce complexity. Together, Keylight and
McAfee Vulnerability Manager empower information security
professionals to better interpret and share findings, manage
remediation and make better business decisions.
"The integration of the Keylight platform, and specifically Threat
Manager, with McAfee Vulnerability Manager mitigates the need for
homegrown solutions and fragile custom integrations," said Ed Barry,
vice president of the Security Innovation Alliance, McAfee. "This
integration provides customers with an entirely new level of risk
intelligence that empowers them to contextualize vulnerabilities from
a business perspective."
McAfee Vulnerability Manager provides fast, precise and comprehensive
insights into vulnerabilities on a business' networked assets.
Easy-to-implement, McAfee Vulnerability Manager readily scales to
suit networks from hundreds to millions of nodes. Keylight provides
configurable workflow, notification and reporting features and
automatically distills large, complex data sets into simplified
dashboards, prioritizing the most important enterprise risks. Joint
customers will also benefit from:
-- National Vulnerability Database integration for big-picture threat
perspective and trending
-- Point-and-click configurable workflow to dynamically assign
vulnerability remediation and ease reporting
-- Pre-categorization and de-duplication of vulnerability to reduce
confusion and limit security "noise"
-- Drag-and-drop configurable dashboards to allow each user a custom view
of data (e.g., by device type, by region, by facility, by severity)
-- Vulnerability and asset record correlation to create scorecards and
deliver additional remediation analysis
"Other vendors may claim to offer comprehensive security and risk data
integration, but few GRC providers come close to offering the
selection of data integrations and ease-of-use that LockPath's
extensive connector library delivers," said Chris Caldwell,
co-founder and CEO, LockPath. "Keylight was purpose-built to
integrate with best-of-breed security solutions such as the ones
McAfee delivers to the market, and the new integration with McAfee
Vulnerability Manager will help joint customers get the most from
their strategic security investments and make better business
decisions."
