Your network is only as safe as your weakest link. Protect your endpoints to prevent threats from ever reaching their destination.

Patching windows using inbuilt management tools is no longer enough. Many exploits are now drive by through a vulnerable web browser, or emailed to victims through malicious attachments and opened with a vulnerable version of Microsoft Office or Adobe Reader.

Today you need a patch management strategy, not just a set and forget ‘Patch Tuesday’. Part of your strategy should consider:

• What software is in use and can it be exploited from the Internet or by access to the Internet?
• How do we detect and prevent unsupported and unpatched personal software from being installed by users?
• How do we detect failed patches – both simple installation failures and patches that cause conflicts and outages?
• How do we pre-test patches and plan outages on high criticality servers and infrastructure working within difficult internal service level guarantees?
• How do we keep gold images and machine templates up to date, so that new machines don’t start life vulnerable?
• How do we keep a record of activity to prove compliance with various industry standards? With the right tools, patching doesn’t have to be difficult strategy to keep your environment safe and secure.
