Lumension Patch and Remediation

Overview:

As IT environments have become increasingly complex, supporting virtual and distributed platforms, companies must ensure that they maintain control of their information and system management. IT organizations often manage multiple point-based technologies, which add complexity and cost. A new approach is required to simplify the IT environment and ensure enhanced security and IT risk management with the lowest total cost of ownership possible.

LumensionEndpoint Management and Security Suite delivers an end-to-end suite of solution capabilities across endpoint operations, security, compliance and IT risk management to reduce complexity, optimize TCO, improve visibility and deliver control back to IT.

Rapid, Accurate and Secure Patch and Remediation Management

To effectively reduce your threat exposure from the flood of software vulnerabilities and mis-configurations, rapid, accurate and secure patch management is critical. With software companies shortening software and OS lifecycles and releasing software prematurely, the number of bugs and design flaws is growing exponentially – on average, 19 new vulnerabilities are released per day.*

Today’s IT departments are spending large amounts of time fixing virus-infected user desktops and reactively fighting malware attacks, rather than effectively securing the organization’s network to prevent security vulnerabilities from being exploited.

Lumension Patch and Remediation provides:

• A single, intuitive management console for easy patch and remediation administration across multiple platforms, including Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac OS, as well as many applications
• Enhanced asset discovery for full network visibility and continuous control
• Visibility and control of both physical and virtual environments with effective management at a significantly reduced TCO
• Automated policy baselines to ensure that patches, configurations, remediation, and other custom and repetitive tasks are continuously and automatically enforced
• Policy enforcement to demonstrate continuous compliance with security policies and government regulations
• An extensible agent for stability and control
• Operations management via Lumension Content Wizard including power policy management, software deployment and removal, desktop configuration templates and custom task scripting
• Integration with Network Access Control (NAC) solutions to remediate ‘noncompliant’ machines to a compliant state before gaining access to the network

How it Works

1. Discover : Gain complete visibility of your heterogeneous network environment. Proactively discover all of your IT assets, both managed and unmanaged, through in-depth scans and flexible grouping and classification options.

2. Assess: Proactively identify known issues before they can be exploited. Perform a deep analysis and thorough OS, application, and security configuration vulnerability assessments.

3. Prioritize: Focus on your most critical security risks first.

4. Remediate: Automatically deploy patches to an entire network. Simplify the process of maintaining a secure environment by continuously monitoring, detecting and remediating policy-driven environments across all major platforms and applications.

5. Report: Gain a holistic view your environmental risk. Access a full range of operational and management reports that consolidate discovery, assessment, and remediation information on a single management console.
