WatchGuard Patch Management

Keep Operating Systems and Programs Secure & Up to Date

WatchGuard Patch Management helps IT teams to prevent security incidents and reduce your organization's attack surface. By managing vulnerabilities in operating systems and hundreds of third-party applications on Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations and servers, this module works with our WatchGuard EPP, EDR and EPDR products to further protect your endpoints.

Key Features

Discover vulnerabilities and pending patches, and get EOL program updates
Audit, monitor and prioritize operating system and application updates
Search for specific CVE, patch name or program, and patch
Deploy operating system and software program patches in real time
Automate patch schedules and EOL application replacements
Isolate, patch and deisolate endpoints to prevent incidents from spreading
Icon: Patch Management

Apply Patches Automatically

WatchGuard Patch Management simplifies vulnerability management and reduces cybersecurity risks by patching software as soon as updates are available. This endpoint security module enables automatic updates to keep your systems and applications up to date.

Anticipate Security Gaps

Provide essential information about your vulnerable corporate assets, operating systems and unpatched applications, so your IT team can now execute a robust patch management program. Configure patch criticality and search frequency to help prioritize vulnerabilities that need immediate attention, whether for security or non-security patches.

Prevent and Contain Incidents

Receive critical information to prevent vulnerabilities from being exploited. Uninstall, exclude updates, or discover missing patches thanks to automated patch search capability, select the types of patches to install according to their criticality, and schedule patch installation for one or multiple devices.

Reduce Your Exposure to Cyber Threats

Immediately install critical updates, thus minimizing response, containment, and remediation time, by applying updates as needed from the Cloud console. What’s more, isolate infected computers from the network, including both confirmed and potential attacks.

Help With Compliance Goals

Patch management is a key requirement in many security regulations including PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST, GDPR, etc. WatchGuard Patch Management helps you comply with the accountability principle by providing asset vulnerability inventory, missing security patches, service packs, and non-security related patches, as well as other appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure proper protection of your systems.
