What Will The 'New McAfee' Look Like For Patrners?
Submitted by Sarah Kuranda on
What does being independent from Intel mean for customers and partners in the near term?
In the near term, the positive news for our customers is everything we can do is additive to what they have already bought into, and for our partners as well. We made tough choices in our product portfolio a year ago so we can make investments and go bigger in a couple of key areas around full-scale solutions on the endpoint, our cloud architecture, security analytics, threat intelligence capabilities, all that that we put in motion a year ago. We’ve got major releases coming across the board in all of our product lines. That’s one of the reasons, aside from the new McAfee being a stand-alone company in the next year, I’m also excited that we’re delivering on the promises we made to the marketplace last year. We just had a DLP 10 release, MOVE 4.0, Endpoint 10.2, and we have a whole variety of new releases across SIEM, IPS, our endpoint suite all coming over the next few months and all of which we will showcase in a couple of weeks at Focus. In the short term, our strategy is really, really solid. Our product portfolio is solid and all the things that we’ve been spending time with our partners and customers training them on, educating them around, all of that remains in motion and I think that is really going to be something that everybody is happy with.
