This module supports various versions of Windows and macOS operating systems and can auto-patch over 150 applications. The Patch Management module plays a crucial role in enhancing MetaDefender® IT-OT Access Platform capability by remediating necessary vulnerability patches, ensuring that your infrastructure is protected against security threats.
Protecting Your Organization in an Evolving Threat Landscape
There are several measures you can take to reduce the attack surface of your organization and minimize the risk of cybersecurity breaches. Reducing enterprise application vulnerabilities with patch management software is one of these steps.
Application vendors review their products’ performance and improve them regularly, but you must be aware of these updates to reap the benefits. When you're working with multiple applications, staying informed about the latest patches is no easy task. Balancing management with staying knowledgeable about threats in other areas of IT/OT requires a lot of resources and expertise. Rather than relying solely on your vendors to clue you in, simplify the process with Patch Management in MetaDefender® IT-OT Access.
Complete Patch Catalog
Our enterprise patch management module automatically detects and catalogs application patches and upgrades, providing you with visibility to the latest software updates. Select the platform and the version to see the latest patches available for your system. It may take a few seconds for the table to load.
The Importance of Patch Management
Minimize Vulnerabilities
An outdated endpoint could create a vulnerable spot for hackers. Endpoint patch management ensures your applications are updated and secure, preventing those unwanted vulnerabilities cybercriminals can exploit.
Promote Productivity
Endpoint patches do far more than eliminating vulnerabilities. These updates can improve the user experience, increase speed, and optimize functions in each endpoint. The MetaDefender® IT-OT Access Patch Management module seamlessly updates your applications to ensure optimal endpoint performance, effectively bolstering your team’s productivity.
Lower Costs
Patch management software allows you to complete updates for endpoints on every system, regardless of where your employees are located. This feature facilitates remote IT management, thereby removing the necessity for on-site personnel. Moreover, maintaining endpoints with the latest software updates extends their operational lifespan, reducing the frequency of device replacements and associated logistical costs.
Regulatory Compliance
Data protection is a core requirement for many industry regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Patch management advances data protection by keeping applications updated with the latest security enhancements and is thus often required or recommended as a part of those regulatory standards.
Save Time with Auto-Patching
The patch management module not only identifies software updates but also features an automated patching capability for over 150 applications. This automation ensures immediate installation of vendor-released patches without manual intervention, significantly saving time and effort for more critical tasks. By embracing this module, organizations can maintain software integrity and enhance overall efficiency.
