Alert Logic OEMs Patch Management Software from Shavlik Technologies

Leading Vendor of Hosted Network Surveillance and Defense Solutions Licenses Shavlik HFNetChkPro

HOUSTON – FEBRUARY 8, 2006 - Alert Logic, Inc. and Shavlik Technologies, LLC, today announced a partnership and licensing agreement that will enable Alert Logic to add patch management capabilities to Invision Security,. its hosted network surveillance and defense solution.

Alert Logic will integrate Shavlik HFNetChkPro, the industry's leading patch management product, with Invision Security which protects internal networks against worm infections and intrusions using a patent-pending threat scenario modeling, ranking, and remediation system.

"The addition of patch management to Invision Security allows us to provide closed loop threat management which can identify, contain, shut down and repair compromised systems," said Chris Smith, vice president of marketing at Alert Logic. "Getting quarantined machines back into production is just as important as protecting them from attack. This partnership with Shavlik enables us to rapidly restore systems to a safe and productive state."

"Shavlik is proud to partner with Alert Logic to bring patch management to Invision Security customers," said Mark Shavlik, president and CEO of Shavlik Technologies. "Patching quarantined machines is a key capability of our technology, and having the ability to isolate vulnerable machines on the network and repair them in an automated and timely process is critical to IT security."
