The best way to understand patch management is to think of a Band-Aid. It doesn’t matter who you are, patch management is a must for any IT team, large or small. If you’re serious about patch management, I recommend giving the SolarWinds free patch management trial a go. It takes this in-depth level of automated patch management to keep applications running efficiently and, most importantly, to provide an extra layer of protection against cyber threats. SolarWinds Patch Manager offers a robust reporting component, making it easy to demonstrate patching and compliance to auditors. SolarWinds Patch Manager allows you to view the details of third-party software patches, determine the status of endpoints managed by SCCM, and deploy pre-tested, pre-built third-party updates. You need to effectively schedule patches and report on their status and inventory. What I love is how these functions allow you to extend the capabilities of WSUS, because relying on WSUS alone won’t cut it. When it’s time to deploy, you can manage patches with advanced scheduling and rebooting across servers and workstations, giving you complete control over when and where patches are installed.īut that’s not all. This makes it easy to prioritize your patches and quickly close the door on glaring vulnerabilities before an attacker strikes.

The platform’s comprehensive dashboard provides a clear list of all available updates, highlighting the top 10 missing patches in your environment and categorizing them based on a critical level, date released, application type, and more.

SolarWinds Patch Manager makes it easy to perform third-party patch management across thousands of servers and workstations.
