McAfee and CommVault secure the future

February 9, 2009: An integrated data and security management solution will be developed by McAfee and CommVault built on the two companies' respective data management, backup and security expertise.

The solution integrates McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO­) software, McAfee's security risk management platform, with CommVault Simpana software, which delivers Backup,Replication, Archive, Storage Resource Management and Search capabilities.

The McAfee-CommVault solution will enable mutual customers to monitor corporate data for increased security and compliance with simplified policy management.

The integration allows McAfee ePO users to report on the data protection/recovery state of end point clients to identify conditions such as the backup status. When that condition is outside the prescribed protection policy threshold it can trigger an alert notification or report to warn the ePO user.

Additional integration features are expected to target expanded software distribution and data leakage profiling using the SimpanaSearch and eDiscovery features.
