LANDesk Patch Manager









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.
