Skybox Security, Inc. announced Skybox Firewall Assurance now provides continuous monitoring of all major vendors' firewalls, enabling immediate identification and response to risky changes. Firewall Assurance automatically sends a real-time alert of any unauthorized configuration and rule changes to the firewall devices, including who made the change, on which device, and what change was made. Skybox is the only solution that combines continuous monitoring of firewall changes with continuous monitoring of network vulnerabilities, providing Skybox customers with best-in-class ability to immediately determine if a firewall change exposes a vulnerability that could be exploited by an attacker or malware. This level of continuously updated information about both network devices and network vulnerabilities is essential to identify attack vectors, including advanced threats that take advantage of multiple security weaknesses.

Skybox Security, Inc. announced the McAfee-certified integration of the following product offerings: Skybox Risk Control 6.5 with McAfee Vulnerability Manager; Skybox Firewall Assurance 6.5, Skybox Network Assurance 6.5 and Skybox Change Manager 6.5 with McAfee Firewall Enterprise. Following Skybox's integrations achieving McAfee compatible status, Skybox Security and McAfee launched joint marketing initiatives for these innovative risk management solutions through the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance(TM) (SIA) Sales Teaming Program. The integration of Skybox Risk Control with McAfee Vulnerability Manager enables organizations to identify, prioritize, and rapidly remediate risks detected by McAfee Vulnerability Manager. Skybox simplifies the remediation process by calculating all possible attack vectors; automatically pinpointing the critical 1-2% of vulnerabilities that can be actually exploited; and proposing the most effective way to block them -- whether by enabling specific IPS signatures, tuning firewall or router security configurations, or by patching exploitable systems. Skybox's solution for network security management, which includes Skybox Firewall Assurance, Skybox Network Assurance and Skybox Change Manager, integrates with McAfee Firewall Enterprise to automate enterprise-wide security policy compliance with industry and corporate best practices. Skybox Change Manager streamlines the security change management process to ensure that all changes are evaluated for risk and compliance with corporate policies before being applied to ensure the integrity of your network's perimeter.
