AfricaSD announces new PatchLink Update 6 is more than just patch management

Johannesburg, 26 Oct 2004

E-security distributor AfricaSD today announced what makes the new version of PatchLink Update version 6 so valuable and unique.

Patch management is becoming increasingly vital for organisations to be able to implement in an effective manner. Research company Gartner says 90% of security breaches occur because hackers take advantage of improperly patched systems.

Over and above that, new age worms and viruses are attacking improperly patched systems that would otherwise have never been infected had they been effectively patched.

AfricaSD distributes PatchLink Update 6 which not only makes the massive task of patch management easy but also does a lot more. PatchLink Update is consistently rated as the best patch management application around but it also performs other vital functions that are not widely known about.

"PatchLink Update 6 provides the following functions: patch management, software deployment, software management, vulnerability assessment, software auditing, hardware auditing and risk management," says AfricaSD MD Hennie Moolman.

These functions are often found as software packages on their own but PatchLink Update 6 cleverly puts them all together with one common interface which can be a very enticing prospect for many organisations out there.

"All these functions talk to each other and are relevant for good effective security practices and implementations. PatchLink Update 6 provides all these in one package to bring immense value to prospective customers," says Moolman.

AfricaSD offers a wide range of high quality solutions that enable them to provide IT departments with a solution that is customised and relevant to their IT environment and company policies.
