Ranbaxy Labs has popped
SecureSynergy's new PatchEasy pill, to eliminate
security patch deployment headaches.
PatchEasy,
in simple words, automates the process of checking new
software patches (updates, security patches, bug fixes,
version upgrades, service packs and signature updates),
testing and downloading of patches, and patch deployment
for PC's running Windows.
The
service presently covers applications commonly found in
large enterprises such as Windows operating systems and
office productivity software, but does not include niche
applications like engineering and animation.
Speaking to CXOtoday at the launch of PatchEasy,
Anil Menon, Sr. VP, SecureSynergy, said, "In India this
is the first solution available on patch management and
the response so far is tremendous. Even before the
official launch of PatchEasy, a total of 10,000 seats
have already been sold in India and 3,000 in the Middle
East."
PatchEasy is available in India at Rs.
500 per seat per year for 1,000 plus seats, and Rs. 600
per seat per year for less than 1,000 seats.
Internationally, the product is available between US
$18-24 per seat per year.
While PatchEasy is
currently available only for the Windows platform, the
company is already working on new versions of the
software for Linux and Solaris. The next version of
PatchEasy (Windows) will include enhanced features such
as roll-back of patches.
