Beginning May 4, 2004, GE Access' newly formed Network Security Solutions Group will have the ability to provide its customers with McAfee(R) IntruShield(R) and McAfee(R) Entercept(R) intrusion prevention solutions. These solutions are designed to fully protect systems and networks from malicious traffic, hackers and attack. "Offering our intrusion prevention solutions through GE Access is an excellent opportunity to get our products in front of new network security resellers," said Donna Troy, executive vice president for worldwide channels at Network Associates(R). "Leveraging GE Access' relationships will help Network Associates continue to build on its leadership position within the intrusion prevention market space." "Data is the most important asset within an enterprise and security plays an invaluable role in protecting this asset," said Scott Zahl, vice president of marketing and vendor relations at GE Access. "McAfee products are a leading solution for protecting enterprise assets and GE Access welcomes the opportunity to serve as the first distributor for both McAfee IntruShield and McAfee Entercept." McAfee IntruShield provides real-time detection and prevention of network intrusions against enterprise and government networks. The innovative McAfee IntruShield architecture integrates patented signature, anomaly, and Denial of Service (DoS) analysis techniques, enabling accurate and intelligent attack detection and prevention at multi-gigabit speeds. GE Access will distribute the full line of McAfee IntruShield products, including the McAfee IntruShield 1200 solution for mid-sized and remote offices, the McAfee IntruShield 2600 for enterprise perimeter deployment, and the McAfee IntruShield 4000 solution for deployment at the core of the enterprise or data centers, as well as the McAfee IntruShield Global Manager and McAfee IntruShield Manager security management solutions.
