Once installed, the starter kits allow partners to demonstrate the benefits of vulnerability management to their customers.
The partners also benefit from the up-sell opportunities of moving their customers toward a full risk management solution.
McAfee Foundstone Starter Kits are a packaged and cost-effective solution for partners looking to deliver margin-rich solutions to their customers.
Businesses face a deluge of information about threats and vulnerabilities, the sheer volume of which makes it nearly impossible to determine which threats are critical.
A recent McAfee survey revealed that almost half (45 percent) of those questioned believe their IT infrastructure is never 100 percent protected from vulnerabilities.
McAfee's Foundstone solution offers a priority-based approach to vulnerability management, enabling businesses to focus limited resources on protecting the most critical business assets.
Foundstone balances asset value, vulnerability severity and threat criticality to help businesses mitigate the risks posed to their IT infrastructure by security threats.
The McAfee Foundstone Starter Kits are, not only attractively priced, but also include same day, on-site technical support that will take the headache out of any installation for McAfee's partners.
"As the threat environment grows increasingly more complex, we are seeing more and more customers look to solutions such as Foundstone to focus resources on the protection of critical assets," said Wayne Carter, EMEA director for channels and alliances at McAfee.
"The Foundstone Starter Kits are designed to make it as easy as possible for our partners to meet customer demand for vulnerability management solutions and introduce Foundstone to their environments".
The McAfee Foundstone Starter Kits are now available exclusively to authorised McAfee SecurityAlliance Premier and ElitePartners throughout EMEA.
