PatchLink Demonstrates Interoperability with Trusted Network Connect Open Architecture for Network Access.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- PatchLink Continues Commitment to Access Control Market by Developing TNC Specifications and Delivering Interoperable Patch and Vulnerability Management Solution

PatchLink Corporation, the global leader in patch and vulnerability management, today announced it will be participating in live demonstrations of the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) open standards-based architecture at Interop New York 2006. PatchLink's industry-leading PatchLink Update(TM) will be featured in multi-vendor demonstrations showing how the TNC architecture combines the capabilities of best-of-breed security products to ensure endpoint compliance with integrity policies at and after network connection.

PatchLink is also announcing its plans to update its PatchLink Update API set to support the latest versions of the Integrity Measurement Collector Interface (IF-IMC) and the Integrity Measurement Verifier Interface (IF-IMV) as defined in the TNC Architecture. The PatchLink Update API set is currently compatible with the IMC/IMV interfaces as defined in Q2 2005. This API update demonstrates PatchLink's continued commitment to support the TNC effort and is expected for general availability in Q4 2006.

TNC is a subgroup of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), an industry standards body formed to develop, define, and promote open standards for trusted computing and security technologies. The TNC architecture provides customers with greater choice and flexibility to deploy non-proprietary, best-of-breed technologies and comprehensively protect their networks against threats and intrusions. By supporting TNC specifications, PatchLink provides customers with greater flexibility in choosing security technologies to comprehensively secure their networks against increasing threats such as viruses, worms, and Trojans, among others.

"PatchLink plans to bundle a TNC support module with its flagship product PatchLink Update so that our customers can have immediate access to the TNC integration capability," said Chris Andrew, vice president of security technologies, PatchLink. "Leveraging the open standards approach of TNC, PatchLink ensures that our technology is interoperable with a wide range of security solutions, giving our customers greater extensibility to leverage their existing security technology investments."
