Learn more about cloud based patch management

What is cloud-based patch management?

What is cloud-based patch management?

Cloud-based patch management is the deployment and management of patches and updates using cloud-based technologies or software-as-a-service (SaaS). The cloud software centralizes devices into a single console where the patch selection, approval, and deployment process can be managed.  Device level communication then ensures that all devices and systems are up to date with the latest security fixes and enhancements.

How does cloud-based patch management work?

How does cloud-based patch management work?

N‑able’s cloud-based patch management works by utilizing one of the two Remote Monitoring and Management platforms to scan your networks and identify all devices and assets.  After deploying agents in the network, you can automate the deployment, monitoring, and management of software patches and updates. Organizations can leverage cloud-based patch management solutions to schedule patch deployments, prioritize critical updates, and track patching progress across distributed networks from the centralized dashboard or console.
