Overtis joins McAfee Security Innovation™ Programme

Published 26th July 2010

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – 14th July, 2010. Overtis,a leading provider of user activity monitoring solutions, has announced that it has been named as an Associate Partner in the McAfee Security Innovation™ Programme.

Overtis VigilancePro™ software assists organisations in complying with a wide range of standards, legislation and regulations, by enabling them to monitor all user activity and data access, across all devices and applications, in and out of the cloud.

Through patented integration of endpoint security with physical security systems, Overtis VigilancePro provides an irrefutable audit trail of who did what, where and when. Specific user actions, linked to defined content and contexts, such as time and location, generate real-time alerts to key personnel, facilitating rapid and appropriate response to policy and compliance breaches. VigilancePro provides a user centric view that is complementary to Network Access Control (NAC), Identity Access Management (IAM), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Security Information Management/Security Event Management (SIM/SEM/ SIEM) solutions.

VigilancePro integrates with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator® (ePO™) and sends event information and actionable alerts to ePO dashboards, based on user activity. The joint solution will allow businesses to accurately correlate network events with specific user actions, providing full visibility of the application used and the menu option, button or keystrokes that triggered an alert. Presenting the complete enterprise security picture in a single view within McAfee ePO will improve compliance while reducing risk, complexity and operational cost.

Commenting on Overtis’ inclusion in the McAfee Security Innovation Programme, Ed Macnair, CEO of Overtis said, “We are delighted to be named as a Security Innovation Alliance partner. Our mission is to help organisations to improve governance by delivering full visibility of every interaction that could introduce risk to data, stock or systems. By integrating with McAfee ePO, we can help many more organisations to improve compliance through holistic management and policy enforcement on all devices.”
