Adaptiva Endpoint Patch is the first patching solution of its kind that continuously patches third-party applications on Windows devices without human intervention and in the most complex IT environments.
Adaptiva, provider of endpoint management and security solutions, has released a public preview of Endpoint Patch, the first autonomous patching solution for third-party Windows applications. Endpoint Patch is the beginning of a new era in endpoint management because it intelligently automates and accelerates the entire patching process - from the identification of available patches, through automatic testing and approval by those responsible, to company-wide distribution.
Patch management without a human manager
“We took a radically different approach to patching than usual, schematizing the administrator's strategic intentions and connecting them to sophisticated models of the company's business units and patching processes. As soon as these models are ready, the metadata flows from the Adaptiva CDNs and the patching runs at a controlled, adapted speed - independently configured based on objective risk and vulnerability assessments," explains Dr. Deepak Kumar, Founder and CEO of Adaptiva. "The underlying premise is quite simple: humans should define the strategy and the process, and the software should do the rest."
Endpoint Patch updates third-party applications on Windows without human intervention at the speed and scale that businesses need. The solution offers completely new functions that allow administrators to focus on strategy and modeling the desired state even in the most complex environments. As a result, they will no longer have to bother with patching, while hackers will have a hard time finding vulnerabilities in applications that they can exploit.
Endpoint Patch features
- "Set and forget" principle: Customizable patching strategies automate the entire patching process for each third party. Administrators set a patch strategy once and then never have to think about it again.
- Full Visibility and Control: Reports and monitoring dashboards show real-time progress and allow administrators to pause, restart, rollback, or even accelerate patch deployment to achieve consistent and reliable results and meet strict SLAs.
- Unlimited Scalability: The powerful Adaptiva Edge Platform ensures that patches are delivered to all devices, regardless of their location and network connection, more reliably and efficiently than with any other orchestration engine.
- Continuous Metadata Flow: Metadata for all of an organization's third-party applications flows continuously from the Adaptiva CDN, so patches are automatically deployed when they become available, based on risk and exposure assessments.
- Flexible patch distribution: Thanks to the innovative content distribution engine, companies can distribute unlimited patches at any time without impacting network bandwidth or productivity.
- Strengthen Unified Endpoint Management: Endpoint Patch works flexibly with any unified endpoint management and dramatically improves the performance of solutions like Microsoft Intune and VMware Workspace One by ensuring content is fully delivered to every device.
Patching is still one of the most important tasks for IT departments to protect company infrastructures. However, studies show that companies are only getting unsatisfactory results with the current generation of tools, since 60 percent of data breaches in the past two years could have been prevented if the systems were patched in time. The high complexity of the infrastructures and patch processes leads to delays and patch backlogs.
Endpoint maintenance is otherwise considered to be time-consuming
Despite the automation promised by many patch management vendors, 62 percent of respondents said in a survey that maintaining new versions of operating systems and applications across all endpoints is the hardest part for them. Time is of the essence, as 54 percent of respondents had experienced an average of five attacks on their organization in the past year, at an average annual cost of $1,8 million.
