SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Agiliance Inc., a market proven provider of Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) software solutions, today announced the company has joined the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance[TM] program. The initial step in the partnership was the integration of Agiliance RiskVision[TM], a highly automated GRC platform, with McAfee[R] ePolicy Orchestrator[R] (ePO[TM]) software, a security and compliance management system that delivers a single console for monitoring and addressing security threats. The powerful combination of Agiliance RiskVision and McAfee ePO software enables Global 2000 companies to gain greater insight into their overall GRC posture, and take immediate steps to mitigate risk.

"Agiliance is excited to partner with McAfee to bring our broad and complementary compliance automation, security aggregation and risk management capabilities into the ePolicy Orchestrator software," said Pravin Kothari, Founder and CTO, Agiliance. "Our mutual customers will benefit from a wide range of risk and compliance analytics in the ePolicy Orchestrator dashboards, helping them strategically respond to compliance gaps and security threats."

Industry analysts predict looming regulatory mandates and impending governmental oversight will mean greater strain on businesses already hurting from a weak economy. Meanwhile, all organizations are looking to mitigate potential large and unforeseen future risks. The joint offering of McAfee and Agiliance products provides businesses with a powerful set of tools to help significantly reduce escalating compliance and risk management costs, while gaining insight for better strategic risk decision-making. Agiliance provides data connectors to McAfee Vulnerability Manager (formerly FoundStone Enterprise) and ePolicy Orchestrator.

"We are delighted to have Agiliance in the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) program," said Joe Gottlieb, vice president of corporate strategy and technology alliances, McAfee. "We expect our joint offering will provide the robust compliance and risk management capabilities that companies need to keep their focus on core competencies and business growth while keeping pace with expanding risk and compliance requirements."

McAfee ePO software is the industry's most popular and respected security management technology, used by more than 35,000 customers with more than 60 million desktops and servers under management. Agiliance RiskVision software helps businesses and government agencies realize gains in their GRC efforts, including cost savings of 70-80% on internal risk assessments and audits, faster decision making and better visibility into future risk.

The McAfee Security Innovation Alliance program is a technology partnering program that accelerates the development of interoperable security products and simplifies the integration of those products with complex customer environments. Through their joint integration, McAfee and Agiliance will deliver GRC solutions that help businesses reduce compliance costs while improving oversight of risk management initiatives.
