McAfee offers Foundstone starter kits to VARs

Starter kits are an opportunity for partners to 'get their foot in security risk management door', vendor claims

Security vendor McAfee is offering Foundstone starter kits to selected EMEA channel partners to encourage take-up of the recently acquired security risk-management technology.

McAfee SecurityAlliance Premier and Elite level partners will receive the kits, which combine Foundstone appliances, support and software licences. The kits also include same day, on-site technical support to ease the installation process.

Rob Eatwell, regional director of channels at McAfee, said the vendor’s risk-management offering follows its acquisition of Foundstone earlier this year.

“The starter kits provide an excellent chance for our partners to get their foot in the door,” he said. “They are priced attractively to resellers and provide partners with a good margin opportunity and the chance to add their own value-add services on top.”
