Frost and Sullivan Awards Patchlink Product of the Year

PatchLink® Corporation has been awarded the prestigious Frost & Sullivan 2007 North American Network Security Resource Protection Product of the Year Award for the company’s product excellence and contribution to the security industry.

According to Frost & Sullivan, PatchLink has demonstrated product innovation by launching a broad line of emerging products and technologies as well as playing an important role in defining the competitiveness of the other market leaders. To choose the recipient of this award, Frost & Sullivan analysts track all new product launches, R&D spending, products in development, and new product features and modifications. All new product launches and new products in development in each company are compared and evaluated based on degree of innovation and customer satisfaction. “Organizations are learning that simply quarantining a machine for being un-patched is not an effective approach to solving the problem,” said Loren Rudd, Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “In order to effectively safeguard against the latest threats and outbreaks, organizations need a layered security program with remediation as the key foundation. PatchLink Update ensures that all known vulnerabilities are accurately assessed, remediated and validated so that all systems are up-to-date and compliant with internal policies.” “We are honored to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan,” said PatchLink Chairman and CEO Pat Clawson. “This award is a validation of PatchLink’s continued commitment to customer satisfaction and setting the industry standard for excellence in patch and vulnerability management.” “Today, the threat landscape is very different and the attackers themselves are different. Hackers have moved from vandalism to cybercrime, using Botnets, Adware, Spyware and Trojans to extort money from corporations. In order to help our customers effectively address these concerns, PatchLink has developed leading-edge products that help secure against potentially tainted machines and devices entering their network while proactively protecting the perimeter against threats.” PatchLink Update™ is the market’s number one selling patch and vulnerability management solution, providing organizations with thorough inventory assessment, accurate vulnerability detection, intelligent remediation, continuous network monitoring and policy-based reporting to ensure the health of the IT environment.
