All mature networks and many on their way to maturity incorporate controls to ensure that data is strictly controlled against compromise or inadvertent disclosure. But where problems still occur in today’s natively-managed networks is within the roles and responsibilities of its superusers. For this problem, IT departments are not necessarily at fault.

Evolving Your Patch Management Technology to Proactively Combat Security Challenges

By : Lumension Published Date: Apr 14, 2008
The realities of security and compliance have changed considerably since patch management faced its first big paradigm shift some years ago. At that time many organizations wrestled with the transition from manual patching and remediation to an automated process. Of course, nothing in security is ever static, so it is no surprise that patch management has continued to evolve since then. Though still automated, today’s best patch management tools and techniques are significantly different from their predecessors. In this whitepaper, Lumension Security’s Matt Mosher, Senior Vice President of the Americas, gives an historical perspective on how this evolution unfolded and why it is important for organizations to evolve their patch management technology in order to remain on top of increasing security attacks.
