Patch management is a circular process and must be ongoing. The unfortunate reality about software vulnerabilities is that, after you apply a patch today, a new vulnerability must be addressed tomorrow.
A key component of patch management is the testing of information regarding both security issues and patch release. You must know which security issues and software updates are relevant to your environment and which ones may cause additional issues.
Managing updates for all the applications and operating system versions used in a small company is fairly complicated, and the situation only becomes more complex when additional platforms, availability requirements, and remote offices and workers are factored in.
So, with the importance of good patch management procedures and with time being one of your most important assets, why would you spend a majority of it on maintenance that can provided at a fraction of the cost.
With Managed Wise, we can identitfy and install pre-tested (white listed) patches into your environment. All installations, aside from any critical security patches, are pre-approved and if necessary, units are scheduled for re-boot during off-peak times.
