ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Shavlik Technologies, a leading
provider of security software solutions, today announced it is developing
patch management solutions for UNIX(R) operating systems. The resulting
solutions will provide the user with a common user experience and set of
capabilities for UNIX and Linux(R), as is the case for the Shavlik integration
for Microsoft(R) patches.
"We've invested much of our resources in providing patch management
solutions for the Windows(R) operating environment," said Mark Shavlik,
president and CEO of Shavlik Technologies. "However, that's only part of the
solution. Our customers have been asking us to add patching functionality to
address the widespread growth of UNIX systems. The combination of Windows and
multiple UNIX patching capabilities provides customers access to a
comprehensive solution to better protect and secure IT infrastructures."
The Shavlik UNIX solutions will help secure a wide-range of UNIX operating
systems, including AIX, HP-UX, Red Hat Linux, and Solaris. Delivery is
scheduled for the second quarter of mid-2005 for Red Hat and Solaris with
additional platform support soon to follow.
"UNIX solutions continue to expand in the enterprise and to achieve total
network security all platforms must be patched effectively," continued Mark
Shavlik.
