Automating patch managment to free up time and improve security.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Heimdal Patch and Asset Management provides us with a number of tools. Firstly, we use it to maintain a comprehensive list of software assets installed on all endpoints. Off the back of this, we use the 3rd party software module to keep all supported software up to date with the latest patches. The final element is ensuring our operating systems are fully patched to reduce the possibility that any vulnerability is exploited. I love that it gives a holistic view of what we have, its current patch status and what we need to be aware of.
Pros
- Maintains a comprehensive list of software assets
- Ensures 3rd party software is fully patched
