Patch Management

Keep infrastructure healthy, secure, and compliant with a unified patch management solution

As infrastructure changes, IT teams must manage more endpoints, both new and legacy. Yet too many automated patching solutions do not provide a seamless, single view of all systems to manage patching. This leaves the patching process error prone, repetitive, time-consuming, and unable to scale easily, which puts systems at risk of being out-of-date and noncompliant.

Gain full visibility across all managed infrastructure and reduce the risk of updating/patching without knowing how it impacts workloads.
Confidently find/update systems and quickly patch Windows and Linux servers at once or in batches.
Enable self-service deployments for cross-functional teams with RBAC, built-in scheduling, and blackout windows.

“Organizations are patching slower, with an average delay of 102 days. Keeping up with patch updates is extremely challenging or challenging, according to 65 percent of respondents whose company has a patch management process in place. On average, it takes 102 days to apply, test and fully deploy patches.”
