IN THE NEWS

Intel Acquires McAfee

As you may have heard by now, McAfee has agreed to be acquired by Intel Corporation. Obviously this is big news for McAfee, big news for Intel Corporation, our partners, mutual customers, and big news for both the security industry and the future of the Internet. It's the companies' common belief that security is a fundamental component of modern computing, and the acquisition reflects security's increasing relevance in a completely connected world. The number of connected devices is expected to grow from 1 billion to 50 billion by 2020. This explosive growth of Internet and IP-enabled devices (e.g. Internet enabled TV, IP addressable cars, ATM machines, medical devices) is fundamentally reshaping communication, collaboration and commerce opportunities for individuals, businesses and governments around the world.

ISA and Imperva CFL Event

For the second year in a row, ISA and Imperva teamed up for an executive event at the Toronto Argonauts vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats CFL game. In a private suite with a beautiful view from the 50th yard line, and a great season so far for the Argos, it was undoubtedly an exciting game! Unfortunately, our Toronto lead got away from us in the fourth quarter, but ISA and Imperva's guests still left in high spirits as it was an enjoyable Friday night getting to know new and current contacts, and will hopefully become an annual partner event in the coming years!
Take a look at pictures of our event.

PRODUCT/SOLUTION FOCUS

ArcSight Express

ArcSight Express correlates seemingly unrelated events and NetFlow data from network devices using the most advanced real-time correlation techniques. By correlating disparate events and NetFlow data, it can detect even the most subtle attacks. As a result, organizations can cut through millions of activities to focus on the most critical incidents affecting the organization. This provides better security and faster response with fewer resources. ArcSight Express also includes the first log management solution to fully integrate field-based and raw text search across structured and unstructured log data.

ISA and McAfee Annual Golf Tournament

ISA and McAfee held their Annual Golf Tournament at Lionhead Golf and Country Club on August 12. With the weather on our side this year, after the rained-out event last year which everyone seemed to remember, our tournament of golfers just couldn't wait to get started. It was a beautiful and fun-filled day out on the course, with the longest drive and closest to the pin contests keeping everyone competitive. Ending the long day with a great dinner, as per usual, and prizes awarded to well-deserved winners, ISA and McAfee can't wait until next year!
Check out pictures of the day.
