Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2002

Gibraltar Software, Inc.(R), the leading provider of cross-platform Distributed Vulnerability Patch Management (DVPM) solutions, announced that it has been selected to provide its network security solution, the Everguard System(TM) to help further enhance the network security posture of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (SCVTA).

"The SCVTA is well known for its forward-looking approach to information technology," said Graham Hine, President and CEO of Gibraltar Software, Inc. "We are pleased they have recognized Gibraltar Software as their trusted solutions provider for vulnerability patch management tools. The Everguard System was a natural fit for an organization that deservedly prides itself on problem prevention. Using the Everguard System in conjunction with other best-of-breed network security tools and practices, they have slammed the door on a huge percentage of the most commonly exploited software security vulnerabilities."

"This is a well-focused product that solves a longstanding computer security problem," said the SCVTA Information Technology Infrastructure Manager. "With Gibraltar's extensive alert coverage, we are confident that we have much-needed visibility into this murky and complex problem. We look for security solutions that ease our workload, and the Everguard System appliance has proven remarkably easy to deploy, manage, and use. Its powerful reports and timely alerts keep us well-apprised of potential vulnerabilities and enable us to act rather than react."

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scalable patch management solution that provides secure cross-platform discovery, tracking and repairing of out-of-date software.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.
