Patch Management -- from Shavlik Technologies

PATCH MANAGEMENT TESTIMONIAL “Thanks to NetChk Protect, we were able to achieve a 95% patch compliancy within a week of MS08-067 release. As of today, we have 1 server out of 444 that is missing the security patch (99.8 % patched!!!)” Before Shavlik NetChk Protect: “We didn’t have any way to easily track deployments. We used Windows Update on individual servers. The manual deployment of something like this to 400+ servers would’ve been a huge undertaking. Talk about a waste of man hours!! To be able to deploy (at any time our customers wanted) and audit progression, it easily saved thousands of dollars in wasted productivity.” Midwestern US Energy Company Shavlik Simplifies Patch Management so You Start Your Assessment Sooner and Protect Your Network Assets Faster Shavlik’s solutions simplify patch management through automation, increased visibility, and control.

Shavlik Technologies Helps You Solve Your Patch Management Issues

Shavlik NetChk Protect, the industry-leading patch management software solution, helps system administrators get patched in 30 minutes or less.

Shavlik NetChk Protect is a robust patch management solution, providing extensive coverage for Microsoft operating systems, Microsoft programs, and 3rd party programs. While there are a number of “free” patch management tools available, they are limited to patching Windows operating systems and programs. They do not address 3rd party programs, which leaves gaping security holes that hackers can easily find and attack. Don’t let “good enough” be the standard for securing your business assets. Free security tools may actually increase your risk and in the end will require more IT resources that will eat your IT budget. You need solutions that reduce your costs while improving your security status. Shavlik NetChk Protect is your complete patch management solution.

Shavlik also hosts patchmanagement.org, the first online forum and discussion list dedicated to patch management topics and solutions. Participants represent system administrators, application developers and solution vendors who come together to discuss the how-to’s and why’s of security patch management across a broad spectrum of operating systems, applications and network devices.
