Overview |
| |
TCO!stream Hotpatch automatically downloads critical updates
and service packs for Windows, anti-virus software engines and
virus definition, and it protects the entire system of an organization
from various security vulnerabilities such as virus and worm
attacks.
It can resolve various security problems which often occur because
the client PC users in the organization don’t have recognition
about vulnerabilities due to lack of patches and updates.
Patch management is the optimal solution to protect
computers against known software flaws for which
vendor patches exist. Third-party products that
attempt to correct these flaws solely through firewalls,
anti-virus software or intrusion-prevention systems
alone are not reliable, for several reasons. An
operating system or application vendor that releases
a patch is the only organization that truly understands
the nature and extent of the flaw; thus, it is best
suited to supply the solution. Many times the patch
corrects more items and avenues for attack than
are known outside of the vendor, including knowledge
supplied by the person(s) who originally found and
reported the flaw. Because the vendor has access
to the source code, it can identify each component
of the operating system or application that might
be affected, and it can update the relevant bits
of code to prevent the flaw in each instance.
Is patch mgmt. the best protection against vulnerabilities?
