Why is patch management necessary?

Patch management for software, operating systems, network components, or even hardware ensures that your system is always up to date. This is important for the security and functio­nality of your IT infra­structure.

Secure icon

Secure In many cases, updates are intended to close security gaps. In particular, operating systems such as Windows can be reliably secured through patch management. But other outdated software regularly provides gateways for malware as well.

Improve icon

Improve With updates often come new and essential features. These improved capabi­lities provided by the software are not just advan­tageous for your employees, they can also provide your company with a competitive edge, so updates should be applied in a timely manner.

Repair icon

Repair Even the best software is not entirely free from bugs or errors. If you haven't noticed the problem yet, the next error message is likely just around the corner and waiting to disrupt your workflow. With patches you ensure, that you can maintain your produc­tivity with the software in the long term.

Your Patch Management Benefits

In particular, companies with a sophi­sticated digital infra­structure should not undervalue regular patching – carried out by experts. Poor patch management leads to vulnera­bilities and security holes. Leaving the responsi­bility to individual employees is generally not a good idea: n such cases, employees end up working with different software versions, and in the worst case security-relevant updates are overlooked. When you opt for patch management from IT-Kompass, you put the maintenance of your business critical software in the hands of profes­sionals.

Three Patch Management Options

Employees sit in rows in front of computers, i.e. endpoints, in a seminar room.

Endpoint

With Endpoint Patch Management, we provide all endpoint devices in your company with patches, updates, and drivers. Whether laptop or desktop PC – your work computers and devices and those of your employees are always up to date.

Backend

Companies that operate a more complex infra­structure with their own data center should additio­nally choose the backend option. With backend, we focus on the servers in your company - and thus on the center of your IT infra­structure.

The drawing of a network represents a central node with smaller networks distributed around it and all connected with luminous cables.

Network

To ensure that your connection to the Internet is as stable as possible, the experts at IT-Kompass take care of the WiFi and LAN networks. Both network service updates and router updates are covered.
