Gibraltar Software introduces first security appliance offering: Everguard.

Gibraltar Software began deploying Everguard. its flagship Vulnerability Tracking and Management System (VTMS) at select customer sites January 30, 2002.

Amidst security flaws resulting in massively damaging Internet worms like Code Red and Nimda, a group of Silicon Valley engineers has been working to address one of the biggest remaining computer security problems: un-patched, vulnerable software.

Gibraltar Software began deploying Everguard, its flagship IT security service at select customer sites January 30, 2002. Everguard combines a real time vulnerability alert service with a complete inventory of software present on a customers network. The system can tell administrators within minutes what they need to patch and where.

Everguard, a hardened security appliance, has been designed for use by teams of system administrators overseeing thousands of machines, giving system administrators a manageable solution to the overwhelming patch deployment process.

Unlike narrowly focused vulnerability assessment tools, Everguard is designed for use with every server, laptop, and workstation in an organization.

Every competent system administrator knows they need to apply the latest security patches. But what patches, and which systems? Theres a deluge of data on both sides of that question, impossible to manage and administer. Everguard fixes that."
