Partner Commitment

"Absolute is excited to be part of McAfee's Security Innovation

Application Security, Inc. is a comprehensive provider of database
security solutions for the enterprise. DbProtect allows organizations to
secure their most sensitive data from internal and external threats, while
also ensuring that those organizations meet or exceed regulatory compliance
and audit requirements.
"Database security is a critical part of an enterprise's broader data
security strategy," said Ted Julian, vice president of strategy and
marketing at Application Security, Inc. "But to be effective it can't be an
island -- it must be connected to a customer's broader security
infrastructure. Partnering with McAfee allows us to offer customers a
comprehensive, best-of- breed data security solution that leverages the
systems they already have."
Bit9, Inc., a leading provider of application control solutions, is
integrating Bit9 Parity with McAfee ePO to bring enterprise application

customers to extend the scope of their application security strategy to
include open source components.
"Our experience shows that today's software projects are made up of
30-50 percent open source code, so managing and securing this important
component of software development is a key element of application
security," said Mark Tolliver, chief executive officer of Palamida. "We are
extremely pleased to work closely with McAfee to bring our open source
expertise together with their broad set of security solutions, in order to
help our mutual customers build a comprehensive application security

management. Q1 Labs will integrate McAfee ePO with its flagship product,

and security providers like McAfee to deliver best in class network
security management solutions to our customers," said Gary Ochs, director

ability to monitor the complete range of endpoint activities and provide
DVR- like replay of any policy violation or malicious incident will
complement and enhance both products' value to customers.

enterprise customers, who will benefit from an accelerated path to true
interoperability between our SureView platform and the McAfee Data

management capabilities to deliver centralized control and key management
across this broad range of information encryption use cases.
"Having a comprehensive real-time view of security management is key to
reducing risk," said Ray Kruck, vice president of business development and
international sales. "McAfee ePO is leading the industry in providing
intelligent risk management technology and, with the addition of management
insight from Voltage's information encryption solutions, enterprises and
governments will be able to verify, audit and enforce information
protection within a central policy framework and strengthen their
compliance protocols."
