The Essential Steps to Patch Remediation

This guide sets out the essential steps of a vulnerability remediation strategy. It is for security, IT operations and compliance teams who need to balance risk reduction against business uptime.

The guide explains why a regular patching cycle matters. It notes that patching each endpoint roughly once a month is a common best practice. It also covers the need for emergency patches outside the regular cycle. The guide then walks through each building block of a cycle and adds specific JetPatch recommendations. It also suggests which patch types to apply to each endpoint group.

What you’ll learn

• How to plan maintenance windows, with a suggested limit of 10 per cycle
• How to automate pre- and post-patch tasks in a workflow
• How to define endpoint groups by importance, OS, owner and patch type
• How vulnerability reports feed into a remediation plan
• How predictive patching aims to simulate a cycle and forecast its success rate
