BMC Software and McAfee have announced a strategic alliance, which bridges enterprise IT operations and IT security to deliver proactive remediation of client security violations.

Together, the companies will offer a new, jointly developed solution integrating BMC BladeLogic Client Automation with McAfee Policy Auditor, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and security and remediation content from McAfee Labs. Working together, the products can quickly identify, report, patch, and remediate policy violations. This closed-loop process helps ensure compliance with corporate policies and federal regulatory requirements, resulting in lower business risk and higher availability due to fewer security violations.
