		Patch Management and a Whole Lot More!
			Chris Binns-Smith, Pro3Security

Patches for vulnerabilities are being released at the rate of one
every three days. It is impossible to keep up, but with new regulations
such as California's SB 1386, we need to resolve this problem NOW.

This presentation will provide you with an overview of patch management
methodology, tools and evaluation criteria. In addition to solving this
big issue, we will discuss the significant bonuses of these tools:
Enhanced System Administration, automated Security Policy enforcement
and Inventory management.
