| "PatchGuard is hurting security vendors more than it is hurting
| malware writers," Bruce McCorkendale, a chief engineer at Symantec, told
| CNET News.com in an interview Wednesday. "There are types of security
| policies and next-generation security products that can only work
| through some of the mechanisms that PatchGuard prohibits."
|
| Symantec is not alone in its complaints, but it is the largest
| security company to speak out publicly. Sana Security and Agnitum,
| two smaller vendors, said they share its concerns, but giants Cisco
| Systems and McAfee declined to comment for this story.
