Patch Management 2.0: Evolving Your Patch Management Technology to Proactively Combat Security Challenges

Overview The realities of security and compliance have changed considerably since patch management faced its first big paradigm shift some years ago. At that time many organizations wrestled with the transition from manual patching and remediation to an automated process. Of course, nothing in security is ever static, so it is no surprise that patch management has continued to evolve since then. Though still automated, today's best patch management tools and techniques are significantly different from their predecessors.

This whitepaper explains how to remain on top of increasing security attacks and:

  • Provides an historical perspective on the changing patch landscape
  • Explains the importance for organizations to evolve their patch management technology
  • Describes how Lumension Vulnerability Management Solution extends patch automation to every element of the IT infrastructure
