Norman launches new solution to detects vulnerabilities and remediates them
Press release
Oslo, Norway – 2. November 2009 - Norman ASA, the leading innovator of proactive security solutions, today announced the launch of Norman Patch and Remediation. The new security solution enables organizations to stay ahead of today’s increasing threats by delivering rapid and automated patch and remediation of software vulnerabilities and configuration issues.
As more organisations struggle to take proactive versus a reactive approach to securing their data and networks, they are facing a whole host of emerging threats imposed by Web 2.0, social networking and consumer technology in the workplace. These new workplace trends combined with an increasingly borderless enterprise, disaggregated supply chains, and an increasingly outsources business model, create a daunting environment for IT professionals to successfully secure.
Norman Patch and Remediation provides a rapid, accurate and secure patch management, allowing IT departments to proactively manage threats in the most complex, heterogeneous environments by automating the collection, analysis and delivery of patches throughout the enterprise. Norman Patch and Remediation delivers a greater value in yearly cost savings and can save IT administrators almost half the labour and hours each month when patching Microsoft and non-Microsoft patches. While most organizations may be drawn to the concept of free software, security is a high priority where malware and vulnerabilities are continually increasing, posing greater risk to the enterprise security posture.
“The external and internal exchange of critical corporate data within the workplace is happening at an unimaginable pace, while the rise of malware and cyber attacks continues to occur at unprecedented level. The only way companies can effectively combat today’s security threats are by proactively mitigating and managing risk,” said Audun Lødemel, VP marketing and business development. “With our new product enhancement, we are offering our customers a cost-effective solution to manage and reduce risk and protect sensitive corporate data.”
