Automated Patch Management
Automated operating system and third-party application patching with compliance reporting, testing, and scheduled deployment windows.
Overview
Unpatched software is the number one attack vector for ransomware and data breaches. Summit DNC automates the entire patch lifecycle — discovery, testing, deployment, and compliance reporting — for operating systems and third-party applications. Patches are tested in a staging environment before production deployment, and scheduled during maintenance windows to minimize business disruption.
Key Benefits
- Close security vulnerabilities automatically
- Meet compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2)
- Reduce attack surface for ransomware and malware
- Eliminate manual patching burden on IT staff
- Documented patch compliance for audits
- Controlled deployment minimizes business disruption
