Unpatched systems are the #1 cause of security breaches and ransomware success. FortGrid CS designs and deploys a centralized Patch Management program that systematically eliminates vulnerabilities in your OS, applications, and third-party software, guaranteeing regulatory compliance and safeguarding your business continuity.
The challenge is balancing timely security updates with operational stability. Without a comprehensive and automated program, ineffective patching leads to:
We replace ad-hoc, manual patching with a structured, automated, and risk-based program. Our deployment services ensure a centralized solution is configured with smart policies, minimizing downtime and prioritizing critical fixes to keep your systems stable, secure, and fully compliant.
Identify all systems/applications, define policies based on risk/criticality.
Define patch approval workflows, establish schedules, plan rollback procedures.
Deploy centralized solution, configure automated scanning, enable automated deployment for OS/applications.
Integrate with AD/endpoint management and SIEM/SOC. Optimize deployment to minimize downtime.
Test patches in staging environment before production rollout. Validate deployment/rollback.
Documentation, training for IT/security teams, optional Managed Patch Management Services.
