About the Everguard System:

The world's first enterprise-wide, cross-platform Distributed Vulnerability Patch Management solution. The Everguard System is a comprehensive, scalable patch management solution that provides secure cross-platform discovery, tracking and repairing of out-of-date software. The Everguard System acts like a well connected, dedicated IT professional that knows the network intimately -- and doesn't need sleep. The Everguard System continually monitors all the software on the network (both internally and externally available on server or desk/lap-top systems), against every vulnerability security alert the community generates. Then, when vulnerabilities are found, it immediately alerts administrators of exactly what needs patching, why and how to get it done. With operating system coverage including, Microsoft, Linux and Solaris, the Everguard System is truly an enterprise wide vulnerability security solution.
