Re: NIPS Vendors explicit answer

Hi Mark,

Here are a couple of links to whitepapers we put out on the topic.  The 
first (Vulnerability Protection: A Buffer for Patching) was written by 
myself and the second (The Emergence of the Vulnerability Shield) was 
written by Pete Lindstrom.  If you are looking for additional 
information beyond that contained in the whitepapers and posting, please 
let me know.  (I am probably opening up Pandora's Box, but what the heck)

In addition, I posted to this newsgroup last week regarding the issue.
