seeing the light. SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.


WHY PATCH CONTROL SYSTEMS?


Industrial control systems (ICS) in critical infrastructure are high-risk targets for attack and exploitation. Consistently monitored patches & updates can help resolve security vulnerabilities, functional issues and meet regulatory compliance requirements.

COMPLIANCE BURDEN
Regulatory compliance guidelines states that registered entities are required to have a patch management process for tracking, evaluating and installing cyber security patches for their identified cyber assets of applicable systems.

TIME AND RESOURCE BURDEN
Patch management can be time-consuming and very labor intensive. Most entities operate highly heterogeneous systems, often requiring multiple technical resources just to support continuous monitoring of hundreds of third party software and vendor websites for newly released patches. Utilities can spend over $500,000 per year, simply to monitor as many as 800 vendor sites for patch releases.

SCOPE BURDEN
As the complexity of industrial control systems evolves, so does the number of devices and applications that need to be patched for both security and compliance reasons.

COMPREHENSIVE PATCHING SOLUTION
