As companies move from plain old telephone service (POTS) to the world of IP, hackers begin to play a far more threatening role in a company's list of concerns. To solve this issue, Polycom (Nasdaq: PLCM) and McAfee (NYSE: MFE) have announced their global strategic alliance to jointly develop secure unified communication and collaboration services.
The alliance will help deal with the increasing need for enhanced security to prevent business interruptions that might affect a company's telepresence and video communication services as well as the needs of some more highly regulated industries like the financial world and healthcare companies that require compliance with privacy laws.
Polycom will design solutions that will incorporate McAfee protections in the gamut of offerings from desktop video clients to room-sized telepresence suites. The alliance plans to incorporate McAfee's advanced threat protection solutions like the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator console into Polycom UC endpoints and Intelligent Core. Additionally, they will align their monitoring and provisioning tools to offer secure device configuration and compliance capabilities.
