As cyber-attacks leveraging unpatched devices become a common practice, an effort-saving comprehensive network security management platform is a must, empowering businesses to proactively identify vulnerabilities and strengthen their defenses against cyber threats.

This presents a challenge for network and security device administrators.

The challenge is that permanently addressing the vulnerabilities disclosed in the CVEs requires an OS update or patch to the network devices in question. These updates are often complicated and time consuming, requiring after-hours work, sometimes with an impact on the business.

This results in OS updates and vulnerability patches being delayed and deprioritized even though “unpatched software is a top three access route for hackers and patching remains the single most important thing you can do to secure your technology.”

Fortunately, there’s now a better way for network operations teams and service providers of all sizes to protect networks while reducing the intensity of manual work these software updates entail.
