"We are excited to extend the reach of our McAfee Foundstone sales and engineering courses to our east coast resellers."

The enterprise product training course will instruct system engineers to:

--Install, configure and efficiently utilize all of the features of the Foundstone Enterprise system.

--Navigate through the Foundstone product feature set and learn how to effectively deploy the technology.

--Learn vulnerability management best practices, which enable more efficient remediation and risk reduction.
