McAfee on Tuesday said it had acquired Preventsys, a company that specializes in security risk management and compliance. The technology will be integrated into McAfee's solutions for large businesses in order to protect customer information and communicate security compliance to executives.
"With Preventsys technology, we can help our customers satisfy regulatory requirements for automated compliance reporting, while leveraging existing McAfee technologies such as McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and Foundstone," said Ken Gonzalez, McAfee's vice president of corporate development. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
