"eIQnetworks' comprehensive solutions help government agencies cost-effectively meet stringent security, compliance and operational efficiency requirements by integrating critical security and networking data on one unified platform."
Federal agencies, which manage complex, highly-distributed security infrastructures comprised of numerous multi-vendor network devices and point products, are increasingly requiring information technology and security solutions that enable collaboration across the entire security and network infrastructure. Fostering inter-departmental collaboration that provides real- time situational awareness, eIQ's SecureVue solution correlates data across the infrastructure to present an overall view of security, risk and compliance posture.
"With increasing security regulations and internal mandates, federal agencies are demanding a unified platform that is capable of combating complex security threats and meeting compliance requirements across the entire IT infrastructure," said Kevin Mahoney, director of federal government sales for eIQnetworks. "To meet the need for net-centric situational awareness and cross-functional collaboration, eIQ has partnered with Accelera and Exceptional Software to make the benefits of SecureVue more readily available to the government sector."
