GIBRALTAR SOFTWARE, INC., SIGNS STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT WITH WIDE AREA MANAGEMENT SERVICES (WAMS) TO EXPAND SALES

Premier Gibraltar Certified Reseller now offering Gibraltar’s Distributed Vulnerability Patch Management (DVPM) solution, the Everguard™ system

Sunnyvale, CA June 12, 2002, Gibraltar Software Inc., the leading provider of cross-platform Distributed Vulnerability Patch Management (DVPM) solutions, today announced that it has signed a strategic relationship agreement with Wide Area Management Services (WAMS) to market and sell Gibraltar’s DVPM solution, the Everguard system.

“Extending our sales and support presence through key network security resellers is part of our strategy in response to the fast growing demand for our product,” says Graham Hine, CEO and co-founder of Gibraltar Software, Inc. “We are excited to have chosen a partner that has demonstrated that it can meet our high standards of customer care, and that has a very acute awareness of the necessity of network security.

“With the addition of the Everguard system to our product portfolio, we are confident that we can offer our customers a more complete network security solution,” Says Bill Kalogeros, Director, Business Development, WAMS. “The main reason we chose the Everguard system over other similar solutions has do to with the fact that a great number of our customers have operating systems that extend beyond Microsoft. While other patch management solutions tend to focus solely on Microsoft, Gibraltar Software has made it a point to include other mainstream operation systems such as Linux and Solaris in its overall solution. Gibraltar Software also has plans to expand to other operating systems and to network devices, such as routers and switches.”

Gibraltar Software’s new Certified Reseller, WAMS, has been trained and is now offering the Everguard system to their customers throughout the US.
