Moonlight Systems' web-based, cross-platform technology complements PatchLink's patch and vulnerability management solutions, executives said.
"Patch management addresses security-related software defects while configuration management covers incorrectly configured software and services, both of which could lead to security breaches," PatchLink CEO Sean Moshir said in a statement.
Moonlight Systems launched in early 2002 with 40 employees and targeted the large enterprise market, a PatchLink spokesperson said.
Engineers from PatchLink and Moonlight already are working to integrate the companies' technologies, according to the spokesperson.
