Patch Management Consultants
Patch management entails installing software updates to operating systems and applications, servers and endpoint devices, peripherals such as printers and scanners, network appliances like switches and wireless access points, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices such as sensors and health monitors. Prompt and properly managed patching optimizes cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, uptime, and capability. Sporadic patch management can result in security vulnerabilities, compatibility problems, sluggish or inconsistent responsiveness, unnecessary downtime, or unavailability of key features. Progent's support services for software and firmware patch management provide organizations of all sizes a flexible and affordable alternative for evaluating, testing, scheduling, applying, and tracking updates to your ever-evolving information network.
