Patch Management
Automated OS and software updates across your fleet. The single most-cited proactive service. And the one whose absence quietly gets providers fired.
When you need this
Sound familiar?
- Windows updates are set to later on every machine in the office.
- A vulnerability makes the news, and you have no idea whether it affects you.
- The one machine that matters most is the one nobody dares to update.
- Patching is someone's side job, and it shows.
Why it matters
Almost every mass breach traces back to a patch that existed but was never applied. Automating it removes the most common and most avoidable risk you carry.
How it works
The service, explained.
Updates applied across the whole fleet, automatically
Operating system and application updates roll out on a managed schedule to every machine, staged so nothing breaks in production. You get reporting on exactly what is patched and what coverage looks like.
Close the gap most breaches walk through
Almost every large breach traces back to a patch that existed but was never applied. Automating the process removes the most common and most avoidable risk you carry, without relying on anyone remembering to do it.

FAQ
Common questions.
What if a patch breaks an application we rely on?
That is what the staging is for: updates hit a small group first, and a bad patch stops there. Known-problematic vendor updates are held back deliberately until they are safe.
Do you patch servers and workstations both?
Yes, on different rhythms: workstations continuously, servers in agreed maintenance windows. Firmware is included, which is the layer most patching quietly skips.
What about a critical vulnerability between cycles?
Genuinely critical fixes do not wait for the monthly rhythm. They go through an accelerated version of the same staging, because skipping the test step is how an emergency patch causes the outage itself.
Can individual machines be excluded?
They can, explicitly and visibly: an exception is documented with a reason and a review date, not forgotten. What hurts companies is the quiet opt-out nobody remembers making.
