Patch Management

The Patch Management domain provides continuous assurance that your patch program is running efficiently and as expected.

Panaseer unifies data from your patch management, CMDB and other tools to give you unrivalled insight and context on patches. Quickly identify and find coverage gaps, improve prioritization and accountability, and measure your performance against policies and SLAs.

Panaseer improves prioritization and allows you to do more with limited resources. Panaseer’s trusted asset inventory unifies data from patch management, vulnerability scanners, CMDBs and other tools to give you unrivalled insight and context into patch management performance and controls.

Benefits

  • Continuously track all your devices to understand available and outstanding patches, and evidence improvements over time in patch management performance.
  • Prioritize which risks need addressing first. Identify and isolate unpatched or out-of-compliance devices and combine with business context to focus on critical assets.
  • Understand if patches are applied within SLA.
  • Review performance against policy for deployed patches.
  • Uncover trends in patches that have been deployed past SLA, reducing your organization’s exposure.
