SECURITYPATCH.ORG FORMED TO HELP ENTERPRISES MANAGE SOFTWARE VULNERABILITY RISKS

CUPERTINO, CA, May 16, 2006 – In response to the growing number of business critical software vulnerabilities, Blue Lane Technologies Inc. has created and is sponsoring SecurityPatch.Org, an online security patch community focused on enhancing the security and stability of enterprise applications.

"When the major software vendors announce patches to fix flaws in business critical applications, IT organizations are often forced to make hard choices between application security and availability. With SecurityPatch.Org, our goal is to give IT professionals a resource for gathering information about significant vulnerabilities that are addressed by security patches and strategies and tools to help them enhance security and availability," said Fred Kost, vice president of product marketing and management at Blue Lane.

The site provides IT professionals, for the first time, with an all-in-one place listing of the vulnerabilities, patches available and applications covered for the major software vendors, including Apache, Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat and Sun. In addition, there are a number of features that provide additional information for IT security, operations and networking professionals. SecurityPatch.org provides white papers on patching solutions, trend articles on the patching impact of virtualization, select blogs as well as links to podcasts and industry articles. Visitors can sign up to receive news alerts and discuss new vulnerabilities among peers.
