It enables IT teams to identify, test, approve, deploy, and monitor patches from a single, centralised console, helping reduce security risks, improve compliance, and simplify endpoint management. The solution continuously scans managed endpoints to detect missing security and non-security patches and provides administrators with complete visibility into patch status across the enterprise. With Automated Patch Deployment (APD), organisations can automate scanning, downloading, testing, approval, deployment, and reporting, reducing manual effort while ensuring systems remain up to date. Patch Manager Plus supports flexible deployment policies that allow administrators to configure maintenance windows, deployment schedules, reboot behaviour, retry settings, and user notifications. Patch testing and approval workflows help minimise deployment risks by allowing updates to be validated before production rollout, while patch rollback enables administrators to restore systems if compatibility issues occur. In addition to operating system updates, Patch Manager Plus automates patching for over 1,100 third-party applications, helping organisations close one of the most common security gaps without relying on multiple patching solutions. Comprehensive dashboards and reports provide real-time visibility into patch compliance, deployment status, vulnerable systems, and missing patches, enabling IT and security teams to measure compliance and prioritise remediation efforts. The solution also supports bandwidth-optimised patch distribution across remote offices and distributed environments, ensuring efficient deployments without overloading WAN links. Available as both a cloud-native and on-premises solution, Patch Manager Plus gives organisations the flexibility to choose the deployment model that best aligns with their operational and compliance requirements.
