The winner will be highlighted on the McAfee SIA Web site after the announcement is made.

To further articulate SIA’s value, on October 9 at FOCUS 09 SIA Partners Absolute Software, ArcSight and SignaCert will join McAfee for a panel discussion titled, “Visibility and Velocity - Unlocking the Value of Integrated Solutions.” This session will discuss how McAfee works with multiple vendors to integrate products to lower the cost of ownership and operation, provide an open platform for security integration and leverage this open platform to deliver the benefits of cross-product integration.
