Preventsys & PatchLink to Host Joint Webcast on How to Bridge the Gap between InfoSec & IT Operations.

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Preventsys Inc. together with PatchLink Corporation announced they will present a joint educational webcast on building a methodical, prioritized remediation process within an organization to address critical vulnerabilities and reduce risks. Ideal for chief information security officers and IT Operation managers, this webcast will show attendees why streamlining and prioritizing security data is critical to building a strong relationship between InfoSec & IT Operations.

WHAT:   The webcast brings a leading security analyst from research
        firm IDC, and executives from Preventsys and PatchLink to
        address ways to bridge the gap between InfoSec and IT
        operations by automating the IT security compliance lifecycle.

The webcast will cover how to:

    --  Automate multi-risk vendor data management and remediation
        capabilities

    --  Create a centralized view of policy and regulatory compliance
        reporting for HIPAA, SOX, and GLBA

    --  Automate the workflow process to triage IT security risk and
        deploy security patches across the enterprise

WHY:    Large enterprises are typically unable to address every
        vulnerability found in their network, which is why an approach
        that includes streamlining and prioritizing data is
        imperative. Developing reporting, tracking and prioritization
        mechanisms creates a business process linkage between InfoSec
        & IT Operations that improves communication, eliminates the
        political infighting, and creates a new level of
        accountability within the organization.

WHO:

    --  Chris Christiansen, program vice president, IDC Security
        Products and Services group

    --  Chris Andrew, vice president, security technologies, PatchLink
        Corp.

    --  Kevin Reardon, vice president, compliance strategy &
        operations, Preventsys

WHEN:   Tuesday, April 25, 2006; 11 - 12 p.m. PDT / 2 - 3 p.m. EDT
