The major underlying problem facing IT management in terms of unpatched network
vulnerabilities is the unyielding nature of these security threats. The manual
patch-by-patch method of application has become an overwhelming task of
“musical chairs”. As IT administrators take the proper precautions retrieving,
analyzing, and testing patches before deployment, there is the constant threat
of the open, unguarded seat “ready for the taking”. Our NetPatch Service
delivers cross-platform, automated patch management.
NetPatch provides a cross-platform (Microsoft Windows 9.x, NT, 2000, and XP
family, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X) solution utilizing an agent-based, N-tier
architecture. Also delivering an automated approach to patch management, our
NetPatch agent can meet the needs of every organization with computing assets.
Through the use of a policy engine, NetPatch allows CAi Network Engineers to
set rules for various severity levels for patches, and establish what steps
should be taken for each. Our patented agent technology allows for an extremely
small footprint while still enabling the fastest possible distribution of
patches by groups, system function, or system state.
