LANDesk® Patch Manager: The subscription service your enterprise needs to increase productivity and uptime, maintain peace of mind, gain control and automate.
LANDesk® Patch Manager lets your enterprise automate vulnerability assessment and patch management across heterogeneous IT environments. It helps you establish and maintain baseline security, stability and performance for your applications and operating systems with:
- Scanning
- Remediation
- Analysis, reporting and alerting
- Ease of use
Scanning
LANDesk® Patch Manager lets you actively scan your managed computers to identify application and operating system vulnerabilities against industry-standard information sources. Quickly identify and download the patch associated with each vulnerability. And, with a single click, research requirements, dependencies, interactions and known issues for each patch.
Remediation
With LANDesk® Patch Manager, select targets and choose a remediation method directly from the list of detected vulnerabilities, use autofix remediation or your own established policies and always move from problem to solution more quickly. Schedule distribution tasks to quickly apply patches to individual computers or groups of computers by integrating with your existing directory, such as Windows Active Directory. And use exclusive LANDesk® software distribution technologies to deploy patches more quickly and efficiently.
Analysis, Reporting and Alerting
LANDesk® Patch Manager lets you set up e-mail or pager alerts when a vulnerability or a specific severity level is detected. It also monitors the status of each install and displays the status on screen, so you can quickly and easily track remediation and ensure that each patch reached its target. When remediation is complete, easily audit each target machine to ensure correct configuration and report successful remediation.
Key Features of LANDesk Patch Manager
Scanning
- Set behaviors at agent deployment that determine when the vulnerability scanner runs, how required reboots are handled and whether autofix is enabled.
- Vulnerability assessment is performed using industry-standard information sources
Prioritized patch severity gives you added control.
- Custom vulnerability definitions let you support your own custom application, policy or security need.
- Multiple data sources for vulnerability info help ensure you have accurate patches for your enterprise systems.
- Assessment and distribution scheduling let you choose when necessary tasks are performed.
Alerting lets you choose to be notified by e-mail or pager when a vulnerability is detected and/or a new definition is downloaded.
Remediation
- Patch dependency shows you which patches depend on other patches, so you know what new vulnerabilities a patch might introduce.
- Patch supercedence lets you download and distribute patches that are needed and filter out older and obsolete patches to give you a more rapid time to a fully patched state; obsolete patches remain available if needed.
- Multiple delivery options include scheduled tasks, policy and autofix, to give you control over remediation; use options alone or in combination to fix current vulnerabilities and ensure future patch security.
- Endpoint reboot logic lets you choose what works for your environment—snooze, custom messages or unattended; choose to display messages to give your end-users control of when patches are installed and whether to reboot or snooze.
- Patches can be conveniently prestaged to all your end system’s caches at your convenience using LANDesk® Targeted Multicast™ technology and LANDesk® Peer Download™ technology for efficient distribution and reduced impact on network traffic. When your control board approves the patch, installing it on each machine requires only a “flip of a bit” to install it off the local cache—remediation is complete as quickly as the patch can install.
- Policy-based management gives you ultimate control over each endpoint.
Assessment and distribution scheduling let you choose when necessary tasks are performed.
Ease of Use, Installation and Uninstallation
- Scalable architecture leverages your existing hardware to improve your return on investment.
User settings are created and edited by you to give you control over client feedback, repair options, bandwidth usage and more.
- Patch history displays all patches installed on a client whether installed by LANDesk or another product.
- Patch uninstall enables easy rollback for any patch available from the LANDesk® patch management database, whether distributed using LANDesk Patch Manager or another tool.
Analysis, Reporting and Alerting
- Reports include custom vulnerabilities, LANDesk® Updates, custom patch install and scan and repaired patches histories, patch levels and more to give you greater insight into patch status and update requirements; trending analysis also lets you evaluate your progress toward meeting corporate or industry security policies.
- Alerts include access to real-time alerting of security outbreaks and breaches with control over what vulnerabilities you receive alerts on; receive alerts on newly available definitions based on type and severity and if new definitions are downloaded.
- Vulnerability reports are available from the Web console for added convenience.
Heterogeneous Platform Support
- Full vulnerability detection and remediation for Windows and Mac OS X computers.
Vulnerability detection and reporting for HP-UX, IBM AIX, Unix, Red Hat Linux (WS, AS, ES) and SUSE Linux 9.1 platforms.
