Navigation * Home / Solutions / Criston - Patch Management Criston - Patch Management The increasingly widespread propagation of worms and malicious code targeting known vulnerabilities on unpatched systems, and the resultant downtime and expense they bring, is probably the biggest reason so many organizations are focusing on patch management. Along with these threats, increasing concern around governance and regulatory compliance (e.g. HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley) has pushed enterprises to gain better control and oversight of their information assets. Add in increasingly interconnected partners and customers and the rise of broadband connections and remote workers, and it is easy to see why patch management has been thrust to the forefront of many organizations' list of security priorities. With Criston's Patch Manager, enterprises can quickly identify
missing patches and automatically deliver critical patches and fixes
to thousands of end-points. Patch Manager provides management and
deployment of security and functional patches on desktops, laptops
and servers across the enterprise.
Criston Precision allows enterprises to automatically deliver critical patches and fixes to thousands of client systems. Criston Precision automates the management and deployment of security and functional patches across the enterprises, reducing patch support costs by eliminating manual patch tracking and deployment. Criston Precision includes a Security Patch Manager. The Precision agents, installed on clients and servers, automatically inform their server of required patches (OS and applications) by comparing the device configuration against a standard database, sorted by year, severity and OS language "Vulnerable" devices dynamically become members of a group with their severity or vulnerability level. Criston Precision automatically creates distribution packages. Depending on the urgency, the Precision administrator may directly launch the update procedure which is run via the software distribution modus or delay and schedule it for another moment in time. Search and Identification Categorized patches make it easy to find the fix that's right for your network. In addition, you can include your own set of fixes in your own customer fix database complete with registry and file-based validations. Patch Manager is fully Active Directory compliant with optional profiles to narrow your search results. Patch Assignment Eliminate the worry about patch combinations and deployment sequences because Patch Manager knows which patches are applicable and missing. Our experts research and test hotfixes independently to ensure reliable patch delivery. Patch Manager will not let you deploy a patch unless all interdependencies have been addressed and you can define a baseline of required patches and then deploy them on all the computers in your managed base in one go. Or you can select any combination of computers and patches to install remotely. Patch Manager allows you to schedule the deployment at your convenience. With Reboot Notification, you can warn clients prior to their computers being patched or rebooted. Patch Database Users have access to the patch database, which contains the information on how to deploy, validate, install and research thousands of patches. The database is the result of experts researching and testing all patches to ensure reliable patch management. Please contact a member of our consultancy team today; Tel: +44 (0) 1622 812333
