Vulnerability Remediation & Patch Management
Without this solution, organizations face the following challenges:
Unpatched Vulnerabilities
Unupdated systems become entry points for cyberattacks like ransomware, malware, and zero-day exploits.
Lack of Visibility into Risk
Not knowing which systems have security gaps and which need immediate remediation.
Complexity in Patch Management
Large and heterogeneous IT infrastructures make patch deployment difficult and time-consuming.
Non-Compliance with Security Regulations
Standards like ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS, and PDP Laws require organizations to implement strict patching policies.
Key Features & Capabilities
Vulnerability Remediation & Patch Management mitigates risks by identifying, prioritizing, and applying patches.
Show Details
a. Automated Vulnerability Scanning & Risk Assessment
- Automatic Identification of Security Gaps → Identify vulnerabilities across systems, applications, and network devices.
- Prioritization Based on Risk Level → Prioritize vulnerabilities based on their risk level to ensure patches are applied with urgency.
b. Patch Deployment & Automated Updates
- Automated Patch Application → Automate patch deployment to endpoints, servers, applications, and IoT devices without disrupting business operations.
- Zero-Downtime Patching → Provide zero-downtime patching, allowing patches to be applied without requiring a reboot or significant downtime.
c. Security Compliance & Policy Enforcement
- Regulatory Compliance Assurance → Ensure systems are always compliant with security regulations such as ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, POJK 38, and NIST 800-53.
- Compliance Dashboard → Provide a compliance dashboard to track the status of patches across the entire infrastructure.
d. Exploit Mitigation & Threat Intelligence Integration
- Integration with Threat Intelligence Feeds → Integrate with threat intelligence feeds to detect active exploits in the real world.
- Temporary Mitigation for Zero-Day Threats → Offer mitigation solutions for vulnerabilities without official patches (Zero-Day Threats).
e. Centralized Patch Management for Hybrid Environments
- Support for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments → Enable patch deployment across on-premise, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments.
- Centralized Control via One Console → Provide centralized control through a single console to ensure security across the entire IT ecosystem.
Business Benefits
Vulnerability Remediation & Patch Management minimizes risks, ensures stability, and strengthens security posture.
Show Details
a. Reducing the Risk of Security Attacks & Exploits
- Detect and fix vulnerabilities faster before they can be exploited by hackers.
- Using virtual patching mechanism to protect the system even without patches from vendor.
b. Increase Efficiency & Reduce IT Team Burden
- Automate patch deployment, so that IT teams no longer need to handle every single manual update.
- Reduce investigation time with AI-based risk scoring, so that remediation is more efficient.
c. Ensuring Compliance with Security Regulations & Audits
- Compliant with ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, PCI DSS, and PDP Act standards with automatic audit reports.
- Eliminate the risk of penalties due to failure to apply security patches.
d. Lowering Operational Costs & Increasing IT Sustainability
- Optimize resource usage with priority-based patching.
- Reduce system downtime caused by vulnerability exploitation.
Use Cases
Vulnerability Remediation & Patch Management minimizes risks and ensures security across industries effectively.
Show Details
a. Banking & Finance
- Secure digital banking services and core banking systems by applying patches to transaction management systems, preventing exploitation by banking malware and financial fraud.
- Close security gaps in ATMs and POS systems to prevent skimming attacks and cardholder data theft.
b. Health Services
- Ensure Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems remain secure from ransomware attacks through regular patch updates for applications and patient data storage servers.
- Secure medical IoT devices and hospital operational systems that are vulnerable to network-based attacks if not regularly updated.
c. E-Commerce & Retail
- Secure online payment systems and POS systems with real-time patching to prevent customer data theft from malware targeting e-commerce transactions.
- Protect customer databases storing credit card information and transaction history from exploitation by hackers.
d. Government & Critical Infrastructure
- Maintain the security of government systems and public data with patch management to avoid exploitation by hacker groups targeting national infrastructure.
- Secure ministry and public service networks with regular updates to all systems managing citizen information.
e. Manufacturing & Supply Chain
- Secure Industrial Control Systems (ICS) & SCADA systems managing factory production lines with automated patching to ensure no security vulnerabilities are left open.
- Prevent exploitation of industrial IoT devices, which are common targets for ransomware and cyber intrusions in supply chain attacks.
f. Transportation & Telecommunications
- Ensure the security of autonomous vehicle systems and smart traffic management with patching that addresses vulnerabilities in communication networks and transportation IoT devices.
- Secure telecom operator networks from infrastructure-based attacks with monitoring and automated patch deployment to network devices and servers.
How It Works
How Vulnerability Remediation & Patch Management Work to Protect Against Cyber Threats:
Show Details
a. Vulnerability Discovery & Risk Prioritization
- System performs automated scans to detect security gaps in devices & apps.
- Classifies risks based on severity level and potential for exploitation.
b. Patch & Security Update Deployment
- Patches are automatically distributed across devices without disrupting operations.
- If patches are unavailable, the system provides security policy-based workarounds.
c. Exploit Prevention & Threat Intelligence Monitoring
- Connected to Threat Intelligence Feeds to track active emerging threats.
- Activates additional protection to prevent exploitation of trending vulnerabilities.
d. Compliance Enforcement & Audit Reporting
- System monitors patch status across infrastructure to ensure regulatory compliance.
- Automated reports are sent to IT teams and auditors for security documentation.
