Down-version software opens a window for hackers
Keeping desktop and laptop computers safe from viruses and hackers requires constant software patch vigilance. Ensuring all PCs have the latest patches can be especially difficult in today’s distributed environment – remote and mobile PCs are difficult to track and are often dependent on end users for patch compliance.
Centralize and automate patch management
The Dell Patch Management service is a secure and reliable method for managing patches on all Microsoft Windows-based client PCs
* that can connect to the Internet. The service enables IT administrators to centrally monitor and update patches on remote PCs regardless of location whenever the PCs connect to the Internet. The PC does not have to be connected to a company WAN/LAN or VPN and patch distribution does not require end-user intervention.
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
The Dell Patch Management service is part of a suite of Dell Distributed Device Management Services designed to reduce the risks and costs of managing PCs with low-cost, SaaS-enabled solutions. The service is simple to deploy, requires virtually no up-front expense, and integrates with other services to efficiently manage asset discovery, software distribution, patch management and anti-malware and virus management.
