The Need
Patching 3rd Party Applications is a critical need
Gartner & CERT agree: >90% of exploits take advantage of KNOWN vulnerabilities where patches have been made available but not applied.
4 of the 5 most exploited applications in 2010 were NOT Microsoft apps
SANS Institute: Unpatched client applications are the #1 cyber-threat

The Need, Cont.

Challenges of Patch Management
Do more with less
• Management expecting security at a minimal cost
Physical and virtual environment to secure
• Not just a data center to secure, now virtual too
Limited resources and time
• Can’t keep up with the latest threats
• Minimal patching – WSUS
• Not just Microsoft but now 3rd party vulnerabilities
Jack of all trades
• Must be good at everything
