Patch / Configuration Management

We see more and more new worms making use of non-patched system vulnerability to lock down company's network. We see new worms coming in a much shorter time then before and even worst is some script-kiddies can download and create their own worms just by a few click. Patch / Configuration management is an automated patch deployment and compliance monitoring system for managing vulnerability across different platform and application.

Patch management process should include the following sub-process.

Patch monitoring and research
