Patch Management

Never Remember when it's Tuesday

Vendors have their own schedule for releasing patches and updates, as an IT professional / business owner your company name and reputation is on the line when it comes to ensuring that this doesn’t impact your end-users. Patch management is the IT industry’s blanket term for how you install and manage patches in an IT environment.

We oversee all operating system patches for both Windows and Mac. The system also seamlessly integrates with tools like Chocolatey and Homebrew to automate the installation, patching, and updates of a diverse array of software. Customize your environment to your preferences, installing precisely the OS and hardware components you require. Tailor schedules to reboot at optimal times, and craft detailed software bundles tailored to each specific use case, ensuring efficiency and precision in your setup.

  • Ensure software, hardware, and OS are up to date

  • Configure preferences for Microsoft updates

  • Keep to cybersecurity best practices

  • Avoid disruptions to business continuity

  • Automate patch installs to save time

  • Handle crucial driver updates

  • Get notified about available patches for all your managed devices

Software bundles can be created once, and then used thereafter for critical repeatable tasks such as onboarding or setting up a new user in a specific department. Working smarter starts with working faster. Speed up the way you work by using automations at scale.

The Patch Status Summary report gives you more of a high-level understanding of how your patch management procedures are going. For both servers and desktops, you’ll be able to view a single dashboard that shows you what’s up-to-date and what’s not.

Next, you can see vulnerabilities at a glance, an important element of risk assessment and mitigation.
You can see all agents plus how many patches are missing in each agent. Last but by no means least, you can view by specific patches, to see which agents are missing that patch, and you can export this report data in a single click, to share with your clients, team, or even that online gaming friend you’ve never met in person.

Software Bundles and Reports

  • Create customized software bundles for different groups

  • Free up staff on other tasks

  • Install new software across multiple endpoints

  • One-click install of patches across a software bundle

  • Exclude patches where necessary for full control

  • Automatically deploy existing bundles on new agents and devices

With Vega's Mac performance monitoring, we set system activity thresholds that will trigger alert notifications when crossed, giving you the necessary time to respond long before alerts turn into real problems or system failures. Choose from different alert mechanisms include email, console messages, or SMS.

Remote access with screenshare is available for our techs to manage a device when needed.

Mac Patching.

Managing a software inventory for an end-user requires the reconciliations of licenses and installed instances. The remote access and process automation features enable the automated onboarding of new Macs and new users, so you can install software automatically per device or in bulk. Versions can be updated automatically, and services and operating systems can be patched remotely thanks to the Mac agent.

Patch Management for Mac ensures that your macOS devices are up to date with the latest patches, reducing the risk of security breaches and ensuring optimal performance.

Mac Management

  • Ensure sofware and hardware are up to date

  • Stay updated with cybersecurity best practices

  • Avoid disruptions to business continuity

  • Automate patch installs to save time

  • Handle crucial driver updates

  • Get notified about available patches for your managed devices

In addition to managing patches on your MacOS devices, we use IT automation profiles to install software bundles on your end-user devices, which can greatly simplify and expedite critical repeatable tasks. Whether it's onboarding new users or setting up a specific department, software bundles allow you to work smarter and faster by leveraging automation at scale.

MacOS Software Bundles
