Overview

Save time, reduce costs and secure systems

The IT Challenge
Every day, worms, viruses, and hackers are searching for exploitable system vulnerabilities that put your data and security at risk. The mobile workforce further complicates the ability to secure your environment. If your organization is governed by regulatory requirements (e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, 21 CFR Part 11, FISMA), it's more than cleaning up after a potential security incident. It's about preventing damage to your reputation and potential legal action.

With a constant stream of critical security patches from a growing number of software manufacturers, manually deploying and managing each one in a diverse enterprise environment (servers, workstations, and laptops) is ‘mission impossible.’

The Ecora Solution
Easy to deploy and easy to use, Ecora Patch Manager automates the patch management lifecycle to save time, reduce costs, and provide a secure environment.

Patch Manager provides a single-console, agent-less or, optionally, an agent-based solution to quickly scan, analyze, and patch servers, desktops, and laptops throughout your computing environments. With consistent and accurate patch analysis and reporting, keep systems protected and eliminate new vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

Generate over 25 web-based reports with Patch Manager's Reporting Center to constantly validate you are in compliance with your security policies and regulatory requirements.
