Security Patch Management

Challenge
IAVA compliance and other vulnerability issues continue to be a priority for government agencies. With the increased number of security updates that must be delivered, it’s too difficult to visit each desktop every time a new update comes out. DoD and Civilian accounts need a better way to deliver security updates. Isn’t there a way to automate this time-consuming process?

Solution
The key to effective patch management is to regularly apply patches from a central console before newly discovered weaknesses become a threat. The Altiris Patch Management Solution automates and simplifies the distribution of software security updates. Altiris makes it fast and easy to deploy, configure, and upgrade software on desktops, servers, handheld devices, and notebooks—even at remote sites. Web-based reporting tools provide Information Assurance Managers with real-time reports showing IAVA compliance on any IAVA patch distributed. The Altiris Patch Management Solution is part of the Altiris Client Management Suite.
