For businesses, it is critically important from a security perspective to ensure that every software and operating system is updated to the latest version. This is because many applications at some point contain security flaws, so-called vulnerabilities, through which attackers can hack into the entire network. The only way to fix the vulnerabilities is through an update. However, overstretched IT teams often put the deployment of patches on the back burner. The good news is that businesses can put this time-consuming task in the hands of a security solution. ESET Vulnerability & Patch Management checks thousands of popular applications for more than 35 thousand vulnerabilities. Risks can be filtered and prioritized according to their severity. Businesses can prioritize patching critical vulnerabilities and schedule the remaining patches for off-peak times to avoid disruptions
Delaying updates can backfire on companies with a cyber-attack. Security software can now manage them
The growing interest in remote working and the increasing use of cloud services have contributed to an unprecedented rise in threats exploiting vulnerabilities. Any IT administrator will tell you that patching vulnerabilities is one of the most time-consuming tasks, and the process is becoming increasingly complex. The Vulnerability and Patch Management tool will help you solve the problem.
Through a vulnerability to the entire network
Companies and their employees use a variety of different software on their devices. It is more than likely that with such a quota of applications, at some point in time some will contain a vulnerability. This is a security flaw that attackers can exploit to penetrate company systems. The only way to fix the vulnerability is through an update that patches the flaw.
Unfortunately, when IT resources are overloaded, patch deployment gets pushed to the back burner. However, it’s imperative that teams don’t slack off. Timely deployment of security patches across applications and operating systems is key in preventing potential security breaches.
Activate updates without delays
Overburdened IT teams struggling to manage patches on their network can now take advantage of the latest fully automated Vulnerability and Patch Management feature. This advanced vulnerability scanning and patching tool has been added to its solutions for businesses by ESET in Slovakia. It is used to activate key software updates without delay. Such timely deployment of patches is an effective tool for fixing even the latest zero-day vulnerabilities, which significantly contributes to strengthening the overall security of the organization.
Vulnerability and Patch Management enables companies to use sophisticated prioritization and automation techniques. It can be used to set the optimal frequency of scans and synchronize them with patch deployment settings to address relevant and exploitable vulnerabilities without overwhelming IT teams.
Removing infrastructure blind spots
With ESET Vulnerability and Patch Management, IT teams can centralize and automate multiple tasks related to IT security and its management. They can maintain an up-to-date inventory and eliminate any existing infrastructure blind spots, making it easier for the companies themselves to protect themselves and simplify compliance with regulations and standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
