Criston, Sunbelt Software and VirusBuster represent newest members of certification program covering antivirus, antispyware and patch management applications

SAN FRANCISCO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—OPSWAT, Inc., the leading provider of endpoint security integration technologies, today announced that OESISOK, an open industry-wide certification program that verifies the interoperability of endpoint security applications with products from market-leading technology vendors like Cisco, has expanded its program to incorporate a broader set of technologies including antivirus, antispyware and patch management. Launched in December 2007, the OESISOK certification program gives IT administrators confidence that their endpoint security applications will work properly with network infrastructure solutions from a variety of providers. Some of the most recent members in the program include Criston with its Precision Patch Management solution, Sunbelt Software and its CounterSpy Enterprise antispyware application, and VirusBuster’s antivirus solutions.

“OESISOK provides our customers with an added level of assurance that CounterSpy Enterprise will integrate seamlessly with market leading networks while providing robust protection against blended malware threats,” said Sunbelt Software Vice President of Business Development, Chad Loeven. “Our participation in this certification program guarantees interoperability and aligns our technology offerings with other best-of-breed applications in the market.” “It’s important that our customers are armed with the proper knowledge and tools they need to determine which endpoint security applications interoperate with the Cisco infrastructure,” said Brendan O’Connell, senior manager of product management for Cisco NAC. “The OESISOK certification program eliminates any guesswork for companies looking to implement IT security applications developed and supported by industry leaders.”

The OESISOK certification program extends the value of OPSWAT OESIS®, an open framework for developing products that detect, assess, manage and remediate features of a wide range of endpoint security applications running on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. Cisco uses OESIS with its NAC appliance and SSL VPN. The OESISOK Interoperability Certification Program provides endpoint security application vendors with increased branding and higher levels of security for their customers.

“The OESISOK certification is a great opportunity for Criston customers to move towards IT and security management convergence. By using standard network security providers, they will efficiently ensure that managed end-points comply with corporate policies and that remediation processes can put systems back in compliance”, said Raphaël Chauvel, CTO at Criston.

“At just over two months since the official launch date of the OESISOK certification program, we are extremely pleased with the market reception and willingness to participate,” said Benny Czarny, president and CEO of OPSWAT, Inc. ”We look forward to continued program success, adding new vendor applications and expanding the classifications of applications certified.”
