Managed Vulnerability Remediation Services
Challenge
When an enterprise network is vulnerable, the entire organisation is vulnerable. From worms to viruses to disgruntled employees, security problems can cripple employee productivity, sabotage customer service capabilities, and severely impact revenue. Today's organisations need an automated, cross-platform patch management service powerful enough to meet both enterprise and mid-size business patching demands. And only earthwave provides it.
Solution
With Managed Vulnerability Remediation Services, earthwave provides the only hosted enterprise-class vulnerability remediation solution that detects a wide-range of security holes in a technical infrastructure-and closes them all with a few clicks of the mouse.
The service is available as a fully managed service where earthwave takes over the day to day running of the service while the co-managed option is delivered in partnership with you and your team and depends on your participation for operational management and deployment. The subscription based service allows you to define a custom subscription containing only the platforms and languages that are applicable for your environment. As patches are added to the service, their meta-data is automatically downloaded for you within 24 hours of being released by the vendor. If a patch is marked as critical, the entire patch is downloaded and cached for rapid deployment. Non-critical patches are available for download at any time.
The service works seamlessly to deliver the following eight advanced network endpoint security and management solutions. Built on a strong foundation of the market-leading security products, these solutions encompass all aspects of endpoint security and software management.
