Biodata IT, local distributor of IT security solutions, announces the immediate availability of the fully integrated anti-spyware and patch management solution from Shavlik Technologies of Minneapolis, USA.
Shavlik NetChk Spyware is an enterprise solution for detecting, preventing and removing critical threats from corporate networks. This new anti-spyware solution is available as a standalone product or fully integrated with Shavlik`s widely-used patch management solution, Shavlik HFNetChkPro, offering high-speed discovery, extensive reporting and technical accuracy to both solutions.
"Offering both patch management and spyware management in one solution provides network administrators the strongest combination of solutions available to protect against network attacks along with greatly lowering IT management costs," said Mark Shavlik, president and CEO of Shavlik Technologies.
Patch management is usually time-consuming for system administrators. The deployment of patches usually needs to occur during off-hours, meaning that system administrators have to work extra nights and weekends, which is expensive and inconvenient.
"One of the many benefits of Shavlik is that there is no client software. Now, with the click of a button, the system administrator can scan all its servers for patch status, and Shavlik HFNetChkPro will immediately send reports on server status and which ones need patch updates," explains Chris Runte, a director of Biodata IT.
Shavlik HFNetChkPro patch management solution is designed to automatically scan and deploy security patches to multiple computers from a central console. It features a broad range of time-saving patch management tools, including the ability to create and save custom scans and a scan scheduler.
Setup and maintenance of this patch management solution is simple and cost-savings immediate.
Shavlik Technologies helps information technology managers and administrators manage computer system security including policy-based assessment, security scanning and remediation of security vulnerabilities due to missing patches, weak accounts and passwords. Shavlik`s security solutions include Shavlik NetChk Protect, a unified console for multiple security products including Shavlik HFNetChkPro, the industry standard for security patch management, and Shavlik NetChk Spyware, an enterprise anti-spyware solution. Other security solutions include Shavlik Security Agents, the company`s new agent-based patch management solution; Shavlik HFNetChkPro for Solaris, the company`s Web-based interface for the Linux and Solaris environments; Shavlik EnterpriseInspector, a powerful network inspection tool; and Shavlik AccountInspector, an interactive account and password security tool.
