Zero-day vulnerabilities are one of the most challenging threats for organizations to tackle. These security flaws are discovered by researchers and not necessarily immediately known to the vendor responsible for fixing them – depending on who found them. This can leave companies open to devastating attacks. How would you know what your exposure might be? According to a recent study from Ponemon Institute, 69% of respondents report that they don’t know how many applications are installed on their endpoints. This makes patching zero-day threats next to impossible to resolve. Even when they have visibility, it still takes an average of two weeks to achieve a secure installation.
This can be compounded by teams that take a one-size-fits-all approach even though not all patches have an equal level of risk and standard rollout procedures might be slow and inefficient. This often results in a fire drill for high-risk threats that must be resolved immediately, which leads to a heavy manual lift taking up hours upon hours of a team’s time.
Fortunately, Adaptiva’s OneSite Patch enables organizations to move from a reactive to a proactive approach in managing zero-day vulnerabilities. Our solution facilitates advanced planning for any type of scenario, so that when our metadata team collects data including known vulnerabilities and their threat levels then streams that metadata into OneSite Patch, you can create strategies to push out emergency patches instantly when a bot scans a patch that meets these criteria.
The ability to build your patching intent allows you to have multiple strategies – even for a single application. For example, you can build different deployment criteria for a web browser based on urgency. This level of planning allows you to prevent panic not just for you and your IT team, but across your entire organization.
We achieve this using bots. Every patch that comes in is scanned against these bots, which are fully customizable and can filter against any one of the hundred-plus metadata fields that our team collects, organizes, and analyzes for you, including known exploits.
Zero-day vulnerabilities are a significant threat to every organization, and it is critical to have a proactive approach to managing them. OneSite Patch is a game-changer, providing a fully automated, AI-powered patching solution that massively reduces the time and effort required for manual patching. OneSite Patch can help teams move from stressful, reactive fire drills typically associated with the scramble to get endpoints patched, to a proactive, well-managed zero-day vulnerability patching process. .
