Patch for Windows

Everything You Need to Patch the OS, VMware, and Third-Party Applications

Updating software is now commonplace in the IT industry, and many believe it’s a solved problem. Yet plenty of organisations still struggle to keep systems up-to-date, especially with software updates beyond the OS. And because the data centre is the lifeblood of your organisation, your security practices must include comprehensive patch management to help keep workstations and servers secure, data readily available, and your business reputation intact. Ivanti Patch for Windows offers patch management that spans not only your physical and virtual servers but workstations as well. Find online and offline systems, scan for missing patches, and deploy them. Then patch everything from the Windows OS; virtual machines (VMs), virtual templates, and even the ESXi hypervisor with the product’s deep integration with VMware; and your most vulnerable third-party apps—in one easy-to-use solution that keeps the business safe and IT free to focus on core business goals.

Easy Patch Management Across the Environment

Eighty-six percent of reported vulnerabilities are found in third-party applications. With Patch for Windows, powered by Shavlik, you get patching support for Microsoft Windows and hundreds of popular vendors like iTunes, Oracle, Java, Adobe Flash and Reader, and more.

Discover and patch your physical and virtual servers easily, with or without an agent.

1. Use the agentless features to reduce the footprint on physical and virtual servers
2. Use the agent for on-premises systems that may need additional permissions or network configurations

Plus, the cloud synchronisation feature allows you to manage systems that don’t connect regularly to the corporate network. Agents can check in and receive policy updates from the cloud. You can update even templates and snapshots before they come online. If offline templates are kept current all the time, you can deploy a VM without having to worry about whether it’s up to date.
