PatchLink Corporation, the leading provider of automated cross-platform, patch detection and deployment software, and South African-based e-security solutions distributor Africa SD today announced a partnership to immediately distribute PatchLink Update to businesses and governments throughout Africa.
"There is a definite trend toward network security in SA as well as many of the other African countries," explains De Witt Tromp, channel manager, Africa SD, a leading distributor of e-security solutions in Africa with 63 business alliance partners throughout the nation. "Prevention is better than cure, and this is no more true than in network security. Our customers will be quick to embrace PatchLink Update."
Noted by industry experts for its ease of use, flexibility and automation of deployed patches, PatchLink Update manages, monitors, and maintains patch compliance throughout an entire network, meeting the patch management needs of small to enterprise-level organisations. PatchLink Update helps protect servers and workstations across a network and all enterprise boundaries from security vulnerabilities by accurately identifying patches missing on each system, providing an easy means to deploy patches, hotfixes and service packs, and providing administrative reports and system inventory information to track patch status across multiple machines and platforms. PatchLink Update manages heterogeneous environments including all Microsoft operating systems (95, 98, ME, NT, W2K, XP, .NET), Unix (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP UX) and Novell NetWare.
PatchLink Update`s ability to detect, deploy and remediate patch status across a variety of platforms is especially appealing to Africa SD. "The environment here includes a multitude of 'mix and match` networks," said De Witt. "In our assessment, nothing comes close to PatchLink Update`s functionality."
"PatchLink Update is a network administrator`s best friend," said Sean Moshir, CEO of PatchLink Corporation. "We are pleased to partner with Africa SD and others to assist in resolving the security nightmare that administrators face on a daily basis."
