Stop Advanced Attacks Earlier
Stay ahead of threats by reducing time to patch for macOS, Windows, Linux environments, and third-party applications.
Maximize Efficiency and Productivity
Reduce overhead with automatic and manual patching, effective patch prioritization, and granular controls.
Reduce Risk
Drastically improve patch compliance with a solution that reliably updates vulnerable systems, minimizing risk exposure, and helping meet compliance.
Mitigate Vulnerability Exploitation and Boost Productivity
Comprehensive Protection
Patch Management offers a complete operating system and application patching solution for macOS, Windows, Linux environments and an extensive list of third-party applications, ensuring comprehensive protection across all devices.
Automatic and OnDemand Patching
IT teams can easily prioritize and automate the installation of critical security updates, schedule scanning for missing security and non-security patches, specific vendor, or product-related patches, and postpone reboot for patches that require a restart without impacting network or users' productivity.
Detailed Patch Inventory
Patch Management provides detailed information centering patches (CVE, BuletinID), quick deployment of missing patches and patch blacklisting, and the ability to temporarily prevent the installation of patches that might break workflows.
Patch Caching Server
Endpoints with the Relay role can act as Patch Caching Servers. When enabled, it stores software patches from vendor websites and distributes them to target endpoints within your network. This reduces internet traffic, conserves network bandwidth usage, and enhances security by limiting external web access.
Reporting and Notifications
Comprehensive reports and notifications provide full control and visibility over the status of installed, missing and failed patches across all endpoints.
Why choose Patch Management?
With a 180% increase in vulnerability exploitation as the primary method for initiating breaches, as reported in the 2024 DBIR, reducing time to patch is crucial. Unpatched systems expose organizations to cyber threats but managing software updates can be time-consuming for IT teams. Patch Management streamlines this process with automated, fast patching to prevent attacks and achieve maximum operational efficiency with 100% patch compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Patch management is the practice of reviewing, understanding, testing, deploying and reconciling software product updates. It helps security professionals identify risks and vulnerabilities within their systems and improves the stability of an organization’s IT infrastructure, also increasing the security posture.
Given the time constraints faced by IT and security teams, many organizations find it challenging to consistently deploy patches and security updates across all their operating systems and applications without causing significant disruptions.
Unpatched vulnerabilities increase the risk of a data breach, especially in a work-from-home scenario where employee endpoints are no longer behind enterprise-grade hardware appliances designed to prevent exploits at the network layer.
Automated patch management enables organizations to stay ahead of threats by ensuring that the latest security patches and updates are always installed quickly and efficiently.
Patch Management is an optional add-on module to any of our Business Security endpoint security solutions.
The module is compatible with all Microsoft Windows desktop and server operating systems, macOS and Linux environments, including an extensive list of third-party applications.
Requirements
Patch Management module is managed from the same console that customers use today, for both cloud and on-premises deployments.
