451 Research: JetPatch Takes Off for Centralized Patch Management

451 Research profiled JetPatch in its report JetPatch takes off for centralized patch management, published August 27, 2018.

The report examines how the patch process often exposes gaps between IT operations and security operations: security teams identify which vulnerabilities matter, while IT teams own the assets and the actual deployment. 451 Research notes that this split is a key reason mean time to remediate (MTTR) has been so hard to improve.

The 451 Take

According to 451 Research, JetPatch gives IT and security teams a common tool to manage the end-to-end patch process, validate that patch campaigns succeed, identify bottlenecks and improve MTTR, reducing the risk of open vulnerabilities on systems that were unintentionally left unpatched.

Capabilities Highlighted

• Automated collection of vulnerability and patch-availability intelligence to start the planning process.
• Automated discovery and assessment of devices as they join the network, including operating system, applications and patch levels.
• Integration with patch deployment tools such as Microsoft SCCM.
• Shared workflows that move patches through testing, non-production and production servers within scheduled maintenance windows.
• Analytics that surface failed, rejected or rolled-back patches so teams can improve the process.
• Flexible deployment as a cloud service or an on-premises application.

Since this report, JetPatch has continued to build on that foundation with WSUS-free Windows patching, containerized deployment, broader Linux and Unix coverage and AI agent governance. Contact us to see the platform today.
