As network security attacks have moved beyond corporate firewalls and websites, the focus has shifted to a more vulnerable set of targets - network end-points. Even though desktops and servers may be sitting behind enterprise-hardened DMZs, VPNs, and firewalls, they can be vulnerable because of the data they handle (emails, IM, file transfers, etc.) or the unsecured networks they touch (cable, wireless, DSL, AOL, MSN, etc.)

PatchLink End-Point Security Management (EPSM) is a complete policy-based solution for enterprises to automate end-point preparation before granting access to network resources. PatchLink EPSM works with network access control solutions to create a "clean room" environment where endpoints are "quarantined" until they are brought into security policy compliance.
