Ensuring that your software is up to date is crucial when it comes to cyberthreat mitigation. In some cases, just a single host running out of date software may be enough to compromise the whole system. According to a recent Ponemon Institute survey, nearly 60% of all data breaches experienced by organizations were due to unpatched software vulnerabilities. Conversely, the same survey found organizations that avoided breaches rated their ability to effectively patch software 41% higher than those that suffered a breach.
All of this means that having a comprehensive and reliable patch management solution that accounts for all your operating environments is more important than ever—and while Windows-based operating systems command more than three-quarters of the global market share—we understand that patch management solutions need to have cross-platform capabilities.
We recently covered on the blog how you can leverage the MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK catalog for centralized patch management; now let’s show you how MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK's Vulnerability Module and Patch Management Module can help you patch applications in MacOS environments.
Reliable, Automated Patch Management
The OPSWAT Vulnerability and Patch Modules detect nearly 35,000 common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) across approximately 700 applications with the ability to patch automatically almost 150 applications. It uses the compliance data that has been accumulated for the last 20 years and merges this data with the NIST database to be able to give comprehensive vulnerability results.
The cross-platform capabilities of the MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK are consistent across all platforms. Being based on a JSON-IN/JSON-OUT API it provides easy integration across multiple programming languages. Using the MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK Detect Products feature and endpoint installers makes it possible to quickly integrate the product into a management system, but also reduce traditional patch scanning on endpoints.
