Patch management

Communications News, May, 2004

Designed to help administrators implement patch-management controls within an organization, HFNetChkPro 4.5 can be configured to automatically scan a network, install patches and e-mail the results, including graphs and patch validation, moments after patches are available from vendors. The solution includes a custom scheduler that ensures scans and deployments happen exactly when they are desired. The software tool features an easier-to-use interface with navigation buttons and offers a patch-at-a-glance function that shows the overall patch status for all machines on a network. Administrators can specify exactly what machines to include or ignore when doing large domain or IP-range scans, and patches can be cached locally to conserve bandwidth. In addition to support for Windows, the product also allows customers running Red Hat Linux to scan the network for Linux operating system vulnerabilities.---Shavlik Technologies
