This is the future of patching, and at Adaptiva, we’re excited to help you get there
Imagine a world where patch management isn’t a reactive task but a proactive, automated process that’s seamlessly integrated with vulnerability management. At Adaptiva, we’re not just imagining it—we’re making it a reality. We believe that patching should not be a fire-drill or a tedious exercise. Instead, it should be a strategic, automated process that enhances your security posture without compromising operational continuity or burdening teams with manual work. Here is our approach:
Autonomous Patching with Control and Flexibility
At the heart of Adaptiva's approach is OneSite Patch—an intelligent system that automates the patching process while giving IT teams full control over how and when patches are deployed. We understand that in IT and cybersecurity, the balance between automation and control is critical. Just last year there were more than 26,000 vulnerabilities discovered. As such, automation is essential to keep up with the sheer volume of patches and the ever-present threat of vulnerabilities. However, without the ability to manage and oversee this automation, organizations can find themselves vulnerable to disruptions or even outages caused by poorly implemented patches.
With OneSite Patch, you can automate patching workflows while retaining the ability to intervene, pause, restart, or roll back updates as needed. This ensures that while the patching process is largely autonomous, you’re never out of the loop or unable to react if something goes awry. The idea is simple: admins should define the rules and process, and the software should handle the rest — enabling your team to focus on strategic oversight and decision-making.
Integration with Vulnerability Remediation
Effective patching is about more than just applying updates. It’s about ensuring those updates address the most critical vulnerabilities in your environment. That’s why our philosophy emphasizes the tight integration of patching with vulnerability management. By connecting these two processes, you can ensure that your patching efforts are focused where they’re needed most—on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to your organization.
OneSite Patch’s integration with leading vulnerability management solutions, like CrowdStrike Exposure Management, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Tenable VM and SC, allows it to automatically prioritize patches based on the severity and criticality of vulnerabilities. This integration is key to reducing the window of exposure—how long a known vulnerability remains unpatched in your environment. The shorter this window, the less time attackers have to exploit it, and the lower your risk of a security breach.
Imagine canceling your weekly vulnerability meeting between security and IT, and instead spending that time on other strategic projects. With OneSite Patch that vision is possible because remediation is taken care of automatically.
Automation with Guardrails
Automation is at the core of our patching philosophy, but we don’t believe in automation without oversight. Adaptiva’s automation strategy includes robust guardrails—predefined rules and checks that guide the autonomous process. These guardrails ensure that patches are deployed consistently and safely, following best practices and organizational policies.
For example, automation might handle the routine task of rolling out patches to non-critical devices for testing first, and then ensure that critical patches or those that require specific configurations are flagged for admin approval. This hybrid approach—automation with human oversight—strikes the right balance between efficiency and control.
Deployment Waves and Flexibility
One of the most challenging aspects of patching is minimizing disruption. A poorly timed or poorly executed patch can cause significant operational issues, especially in environments with critical workloads. To address this, we’ve built our patching workflows around the concept of deployment waves.
Deployment Waves, sometimes called phased deployments or ring deployments, involve rolling out updates in stages. Initially, patches are applied to a small group of non-critical devices. This serves as a test bed, allowing any potential issues to be identified and addressed before the patch is deployed more broadly. If the initial wave is successful, the patch is gradually rolled out to larger, more critical groups of devices.
This phased approach reduces the risk of widespread disruption and ensures that any issues can be caught and resolved early. Coupled with our Flex Controls—pause, restart, and rollback capabilities—Deployment Waves provide IT teams with the tools they need to manage patches effectively, ensuring business continuity and minimizing the impact on users.
Future-Proofing with Innovation
Finally, we recognize that the world of IT and cybersecurity is constantly evolving. New threats emerge, technologies advance, and the demands on your IT infrastructure increase. That’s why innovation is at the core of Adaptiva’s philosophy. We’re committed to developing new technologies that not only meet today’s challenges but also anticipate the future needs of autonomous endpoint management. We’re consistently developing systems that can prevent and remediate issues across endpoints without manual intervention. By building intelligence and automation into endpoint management, we aim to reduce the burden on IT teams and create a more resilient, self-healing IT environment.
The New Patching Frontier
At Adaptiva, we believe that the future of patching lies in automation, control, and integration with vulnerability management. By adopting a proactive, automated approach to patching—one that’s guided by intelligent systems and supported by robust controls—you can improve your security posture, reduce risk, and maintain operational continuity.
We’re leading the charge into this new patching frontier, where patching is effortless and safe. This is the future of patching, and at Adaptiva, we’re excited to help you get there.
