PatchLink nets product range

Vendor trumpets benefits of latest acquisition

Patch management vendor PatchLink has claimed its latest acquisition will help its partners generate business.

Last week, the firm acquired the Stat Guardian vulnerability management suite of products from Harris Corporation, some of which are already integrated with PatchLink’s flagship Update product on an OEM basis.

Andrew Clarke, senior vice-president international at PatchLink, said: “With this acquisition we have created a strong player in the vulnerability management space. This will give our channel partners more armoury to go back to their customers and extend their existing security coverage, as well as secure new business.”

Dave Ellis, head of e-security at Computerlinks, said: “Rather than just selling patch management as a standalone solution, PatchLink can now integrate it into a broader vulnerability assessment offering.”
