What is Heimdal Patch and Asset Management?
Heimdal Patch and Asset Management is a cloud-based tool that automates OS and third-party updates. The automated patch management solution delivers updates within 4 hours of vendor release, after scanning for malware, removing unwanted software, and checking that the patch installs and works correctly.
Once installed, Heimdal’s lightweight agent is able to define granular group policies and orchestrate patching across Windows, macOS, and Linux - no extra servers.
Key patch management features and capabilities:
- Silent, flexible deployment – Automates installs without user interruption, with options for reboot rules, postponement, and software self-service.
- Bandwidth optimization – Limits download speeds and enables peer-to-peer distribution to reduce network load.
- Granular policy control – Unlimited group policies for different sites, departments, or clients.
- Comprehensive update views – Tracks installed, pending, and available updates with details on severity, product, and vulnerability IDs.
- Custom software deployment – The Infinity Management add-on can patch any proprietary software.
- Full asset visibility – Monitors all installed applications and versions for compliance and lifecycle management.
- Compliance & audit support – Generates detailed logs for CIS, NIST, and Cyber Essentials. Finds missing updates instantly with compliance checkers.
- Multi-tenant management – MSPs or MSSPs can use it to manage multiple clients or business units with role-based access controls from a single dashboard.
Heimdal delivers unification through a modular approach. Patch management can be started immediately, and additional modules like PAM, DNS filtering, or endpoint protection are also available as the need arises so that when unexpected compliance requirements emerge or new security challenges surface, there is no need to switch vendors or manage multiple agents.
