Patch Management
Patching hundreds, or even dozens, of PCs and servers is a major issue due to its complexity and time constraints. The number of vulnerabilities and corresponding patches continues to grow, making manual patching of computers more difficult and less effective. Just as each organization has unique technology needs, successful patch management programs will vary in design and implementation.
InfoSight's Patch Management Services facilitate a stable and secure networking environment by assisting you in applying patches on all servers, workstations and network devices. Patch Management Services protect critical network infrastructure from vulnerabilities, provides excellent reporting capabilities, and integrates necessary patches into daily operations. InfoSight's security experts help you to define, develop and establish robust patch management processes into your security practice as a well-planned process to evaluate and implement patches into your ongoing security program.
Having a mature patch and vulnerability management program will help you become more proactive rather than than reactive with regard to maintaining appropriate levels of security for your systems.
It is highly unlikely that an enterprise-scale patch management program can be successful without proper integration with the change management system. Also, learn more about vulnerability management.

What is
Patch Management?
Patch management is an area of systems management that involves acquiring, testing, and installing multiple patches (code changes) to an administered computer system. The main objective of a patch management program is to create a consistently configured environment that is secure against known vulnerabilities in operating system and application software. Patch management tasks include: maintaining current knowledge of available patches, deciding what patches are appropriate for particular systems, ensuring that patches are installed properly, testing systems after installation, and documenting all associated procedures, such as specific configurations required.
