PATCHLINK MEETS TOP 10 REQUIREMENTS

Integration

As organizations security initiatives continue to expand, many have adopted a

variety of products designed to improve their security posture and to reduce

their risk. For example, most organizations are already using vulnerability

scanning products and beginning to implement third-party access control

systems to scan and block systems based on defined security policies. Rather

than use each system as a standalone island of information, organizations

want to be able to view as much security-related information as possible

within a single console. An open architecture is required to ensure seamless

integration of all the security products which are working together to protect

the corporate network.

 

PatchLink Update s open architecture allows for customization and integration

with other security products such as third-party access control systems and

leading commercial vulnerability scanning products. With PatchLink Update s

open architecture, organizations can also integrate their patch management

solution with external vulnerability and threat alerting services, intrusion

control, and other threat management systems.
