PatchLink Enterprise Reporting Services

PatchLink Enterprise Reporting Services provides the most timely and accurate network security reporting available. The PATCHLINK UPDATE agent-based architecture ensures that end-point security data collection is done at a frequency and level of detail that meets your organisations needs. With this approach, enterprise network security reporting that has typically been done on a quarterly or monthly basis can now be done on a daily or even hourly basis. Securing a large enterprise network is a serious challenge. Most often the challenge revolves around security information. Where are the security holes? Have previously fixed vulnerabilities resurfaced? Are compliancy levels being met? Is the data accurate and timely? Will it survive an audit? All good questions. All require timely and accurate network security reporting.

Accuracy is absolutely essential for both security and compliance reporting and auditing. PatchLink's patent-pending Patch Fingerprint technology ensures reporting accuracy by measuring multiple aspects of a patch's status. Over time patches can be compromised through undetected worms and viruses, software installations, re-imaging, etc. Unlike most scanning systems that perform a cursory registry check or file count, PatchLink's Fingerprints ensure that a patch is valid before a system is reported as having been patched.

PatchLink Enterprise Reporting Services enables a central management team to consolidate timely, accurate data from PATCHLINK UPDATE servers throughout their organisation. This consolidated dataset is then organised into reports that specifically meet the vulnerability assessment, auditing and compliance needs of the organisation.
