Vulnerability assessment and patch management

Vulnerability assessment (VA) is a process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing found vulnerabilities in the system. In the vulnerability assessment module, you can scan your machines for vulnerabilities, and check if the operating systems and installed applications are up-to-date and working properly.

Vulnerability assessment scanning is supported for machines with the following operating systems:

Use the Patch management (PM) functionality to manage patches (updates) for applications and operating systems installed on your machines, and keep your systems up-to-date. In the patch management module you can automatically or manually approve update installations on your machines.

Patch management is supported for machines with the Windows operating systems. For more information, see Supported Microsoft and third-party products.
