SecureSynergy has unveiled its next generation automated,
cross-platform patch management software PatchEasy that helps
IT administrators protect their enterprises from the associated
risks of security vulnerabilities.
PatchEasy 6.3, the newest version of the company's patch
management software, offers advanced functionality for the
Microsoft Windows platform and also adds patching capabilities
for Red Hat Linux and Solaris operating systems.
Capt Felix Mohan, CEO, SecureSynergy, said, "The latest release
of PatchEasy is further execution on our belief that patching
is a way of life and that there is a crying need within corporates
to reduce the time and cost associated with patching. Security
vulnerabilities are growing and the volume of supplier-issued
patches is quickly outstripping the ability of IT staff to
keep up.
"PatchEasy 6.3 builds on the product's existing reputation
for reliability, flexibility and ease-of-use, making it the
clear leader for businesses that need to have a complete automated
patch management solution."
According to Anil Menon, senior vice president, SecureSynergy,
there is no easier, more scaleable or affordable security
best-practice product in this space.
"With PatchEasy 6.3, our customers are empowered to automate
the challenge of patch management while maintaining management
control. Following detailed feedback from our customers, it
was clear that PatchEasy would add further value to them with
the addition of these important features like rollback support,
heterogeneous platform support, scanning by IP range, database
size reduction," Menon added.
Among the product’s significant new features are: patch rollback
capability for previous configurations; scanning by IP Range
and Subnet to locate all manageable computers; reboot notification
for clients; named Master Agents managed from console; database
size reduction; and multi-locale support for adding new languages
rapidly.
