OneSite Patch has officially launched. The first fully automated patching solution is here to provide unrivaled control, visibility, and flexibility, so no Windows device ever goes unpatched. OneSite Patch intelligently automates the entire patching process from initial discovery, testing, and approval to successful enterprise-wide installation. Because it is truly automatic, networks will be more secure without human intervention.
Patching is becoming more important than ever before. Recently, Gartner® made what I think are two bold predictions about the growth in patch management over the next few years. In a report titled, Accelerate Windows and Third-Party Application Patching* Gartner made two strategic planning assumptions. The first is that, "By 2025, more than 90% of organizations will use third-party patching tools to accelerate their patching operations, which is a significant increase from fewer than 50% in 2023." The second is that, "By 2025, 90% of organizations will use a ring-based patching strategy to minimize patch cycle duration and incidents, which is a significant increase from fewer than 50% in 2023."
With OneSite Patch, Admins can use our out-of-the-box patching strategies or easily create their own unique models for different business units, user groups, endpoints, and applications. Once strategies are created, OneSite Patch will simply execute your preferred patching strategy over and over again so that all the applications on all the Windows devices throughout your organization stay patched in real-time.
To quantify how large of a problem this is for organizations, Adaptiva partnered with Ponemon Institute to develop a report on the state of Patch Management. This research found that three core aspects of patch management are broken – Visibility, Deployment, and Process Management. Currently, IT teams lack reliable visibility over the applications running on their organizations’ devices. Detecting vulnerabilities and assessing risk and exposure of applications are two of the most challenging and most complex parts of the process, according to 54% and 50% of respondents, respectively. Few teams have confidence that a deployed patch has been installed correctly and on the necessary machines. Bandwidth issues continue to plague IT as remote and hybrid workplaces are now the norm. Finally, patching takes up an inordinate amount of time across multiple people’s schedules every week. This report paints a clear picture – patching is hard.
Enter OneSite Patch, which turns IT’s most time-consuming, manual jobs into a business strength by automating the entire process because humans have better things to do. A few highlights of OneSite Patch capabilities include.
- Fully Automated Patching: Admins can create unique strategies that automate the entire patching process for any third-party application. Create a patching strategy once, and never think about it again. Set it and forget it.
- Complete Visibility: Real-time reporting and monitoring dashboards show what apps and versions are running on every endpoint, regardless of location. See the instant a patch successfully installs.
- Real-time Control: Start, pause, stop, or roll back any patch at any time with a single mouse click.
- Limitless Patch Distribution: Not reliant on SCCM/Intune or other WSUS to distribute content. Achieve unmatched patch distribution powered by the Adaptiva OneSite Platform. Reliably and efficiently distribute patches to any endpoint anytime without affecting the user or the network.
- Continuous Real-time Stream of Third-Party Metadata: Metadata for all your third-party applications will continuously stream from the Adaptiva CDN. When a new patch or release is available, it will be deployed automatically based on your preferred patching method.
- Reliable Ring Deployments: IT can set patching strategies to deploy via a ring deployment process that can be customized on a schedule for any application and set of devices. Admins can choose a small group of devices to test the patch before deploying it to a larger group of devices. If any issues arise during the testing phase, they can be quickly fixed before deploying the patch to all devices. This helps improve efficiency, minimize broken systems, and ensure critical devices are patched first, minimizing end-user interruptions.
- Modern Endpoint Management: OneSite Patch has the adaptability to work in tandem with any unified endpoint management platform to substantially modernize endpoint management strategy. OneSite Patch significantly improves the performance of tools like Microsoft Intune, VMWare Workspace One, and others by ensuring patches are automatically distributed to every device, regardless of location or network connection.
