The steady increase in
network vulnerabilities and the sheer volume of software patches have
created a need for strict and efficient patch management in enterprises
to avoid business downtime and to secure themselves against the attacks. Desktop Management with its Patch Management module manages
patches effectively. With Desktop Management the system administrators
have gained the ability to respond to computer threats in quick time.
All patches that are released my Microsoft are maintained in a
repository called the vulnerability database at the ManageEngine site.
The Agent installed on the desktops periodically scans and verifies
with the patch repository maintained at the ManageEngine site. If it
finds the OS is outdated, then it shows the list of such devices on the
Central web client [Desktop Management -> Patches] which have some
missing patches that have to be installed. You can now install the missing patches on the devices.
