New and updated features enable IT admins to
pause, cancel, rollback, and block patching processes
quickly
KIRKLAND,
Wash., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Adaptiva, a
global leader in autonomous endpoint management, today announced
the launch of Flex Controls in OneSite Patch, which give users
advanced management capabilities over their patch deployment
processes, including the ability to immediately pause or cancel
patch rollouts as well as rollback patches to previous versions or
block unwanted patches. These tools deliver confidence, security,
and safety to users by providing the control necessary for
efficient autonomous patching and vulnerability remediation.
With 90% of successful cyberattacks starting at
the endpoint and more than 28,000 vulnerabilities disclosed
last year, the need for organizations to quickly deploy patches
using automation is clear. However, many IT leaders worry about
unstable patches disrupting business operations or interrupting end
users. With Adaptiva Flex Controls, IT administrators can have the
confidence and peace of mind to automate patching with the safety
measures in place to pause, cancel, rollback, or block patches on
an individual level or globally.
"Patching automation is essential to keep
organizations safe in an increasingly hostile and aggressive cyber
environment. However, we also know from our experience in managing
patching for many of today's largest enterprises that the
occasional automated patch deployment can sometimes produce
unexpected results," said Dr. Deepak
Kumar, Founder and CEO of Adaptiva. "With Flex Controls,
OneSite Patch customers have the confidence to know they can easily
address and limit the impact of unanticipated patching issues the
moment they arise. These features were designed to give our
customers the peace of mind to automate patching with both
speed and control."
Here are all the new features found within the
Flex Controls update to OneSite Patch:
- Global Pause: Adaptiva provides a "Big Red Button"
that when pressed, immediately pauses all patching processes
throughout the environment. This provides the opportunity to
troubleshoot and perform a root cause analysis into the underlying
issue and implement a quick resolution. It also provides the
ability to resume all patch deployments with one click once the
issue is addressed.
- Patch Targeting and Exception Handling: Grants users the
ability to blacklist a patch from being deployed globally, as well
as the power to exclude certain patches or products from defined
groups of devices. For example, it's now possible for IT
administrators to roll out a patch specifically to the development
team's devices, or to exclude the devices of frontline staff from a
patch rollout.
- Deployment Controls: Each patching process is displayed
in real-time so users can see which patches need approval, which
are waiting on a deployment time, and which are actively being
rolled out. Controls to pause, advance, or cancel any of these
individual deployments as they go through their defined processes
are available to the administrator in these dashboards.
- Full Reversion: OneSite Patch can rollback a patch to
the previous version as well as enable the IT administrator to
install a specific version of the product.
Adaptiva's OneSite Patch is unmatched in the
controls it hands users to deploy patches automatically on their
own terms. Flex Controls adds to the long list of capabilities that
enable IT teams to automate patch management securely at scale.
Features like deployment waves, metadata testing, maintenance
windows, and approval management ensure patches are deployed
exactly to IT administrator specifications.
"With OneSite Patch, organizations can
accelerate, adapt, and automate their patch management, and now
with Flex Controls, users will have many more options when it comes
to the 'adapt' part of the equation," said Chaz Spahn, Product Evangelist at Adaptiva.
"Customers can feel confident in their patching strategy, knowing
that if something does go wrong, OneSite Patch makes it simple to
get back on track."
