Memo: Re: St. Bernard Software and Shavlik Technologies announce agreement From: Vince Rossi CEO, ST. Bernard Software and Mark Shavlik, CEO Shavlik Technologies Tuesday, January 30, 2007 Dear UpdateEXPERT Customer, We would like to inform you of some exciting news, and important changes happening in the vulnerability management industry. St. Bernard and Shavlik Technologies are proud to announce that we have just signed a strategic agreement whereby Shavlik has acquired all rights to St. Bernard’s UpdateEXPERT product line. Under the terms of the agreement, Shavlik Technologies immediately assumes responsibility for servicing and supporting all existing UpdateEXPERT customers beginning today, January 30th, 2007. Shavlik Technologies welcomes you as a new customer and assures that you will continue to receive uninterrupted support of your award-winning UpdateEXPERT product. This was a carefully thought out decision, and during this process we kept the needs of our customers at the forefront of our joint discussions. This acquisition gives you access to Shavlik's security data engines, providing you with the best solution available for automated patch, policy, and configuration management. In fact, St. Bernard has now deployed Shavlik NetChk Protect throughout its own internal network for security assessment and remediation. Shavlik Technologies has been developing and marketing security management products since 1996, with a strong focus on security patch management. Shavlik products are deployed with over 7,000 global customers which manage millions of desktops. With the addition of UpdateEXPERT, Shavlik will now be supporting over 10,000 customers directly and more than 12,000 via our licensed OEM partners, including Microsoft, Symantec, IBM, BMC and others for use in their security product lines. If you use Microsoft's MBSA you are already using one of our products! Adding UpdateEXPERT to the Shavlik product portfolio clearly establishes Shavlik Technologies as the world’s largest security patch management ISV, ultimately providing you with more product choices and options. Please visit our web site at www.shavlik.com to learn more about our complete line of policy and security configuration management solutions. We are still finalizing our long-term product plans, and you can expect more detailed communications over the next 30 days. In the interim, we will continue to update you via email or you can visit the St. Bernard or Shavlik websites for more information. You can be confident that we will be providing the superior customer support you’ve come to expect as an UpdateEXPERT customer. If you have any questions or need product support please call 1-866-407-5279 or email us at ue.support@shavlik.com. We will be available for questions at the upcoming RSA Conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Visit Shavlik’s booth #809 on Tuesday, February 6th, 2007 Both Shavlik Technologies and St. Bernard Software are committed to giving UpdateEXPERT customers a smooth transition to Shavlik sales, support, and product infrastructure, so please contact either one of us with any immediate questions or concerns. Thank you and Sincerely,
