McAfee and ArcSight have partnered to provide workflow capabilities for security and compliance monitoring. With this, ArcSight has joined the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance.

ArcSight Event Management and Log Management Solutions will integrate with McAfee ePO to deliver a single comprehensive solution for monitoring the enterprise, managing compliance and mitigating threats.

The initial focus of this partnership will be on the integration of the ArcSight SIEM Platform with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), the companies said in a joint press statement.

By leveraging the Siem platform to monitor, correlate, filter and send critical security events to McAfee ePO, McAfee customers can respond with security counter measures targeting affected systems. For example, the systems on a subnet penetrated by a worm attack observed by the Siem platform could be updated with anti-virus signatures, software or policies as a countermeasure.

This integration also combines the compliance auditing of McAfee Policy Auditor with the compliance event archiving, alerting, and reporting of ArcSight Logger in support of PCI, SOX, HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.
