Introduction
Managing software vulnerabilities is more critical—and more complex—than ever. Security teams must track an ever-growing list of CVEs, prioritize risks, and patch quickly to avoid breaches or compliance gaps. AssetSonar’s Patch Management module delivers a unified platform to detect, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities across Windows, macOS, and Linux—at scale and in real time.
This document outlines the latest Patch Management capabilities, why they matter, and how they help your organization stay ahead of threats.
What’s Being Introduced and Why It Matters
Real-Time Vulnerability Detection
What You Get: Continuous scanning of devices using the AssetSonar ITAM Agent, matched against NIST CVE data and other trusted sources.
Why It Matters:
- Ensures you have up-to-date risk intelligence without manual intervention.
- Maps CVEs to affected devices instantly, enabling faster decision-making.
Overview Tab
A high-level dashboard summarizing your patch and vulnerability landscape—ideal for executive visibility and sales demos.
What You Get
- A consolidated view of total vulnerabilities, severity distribution, and patch status across your entire environment.
- Quick-glance KPIs such as the number of critical CVEs, the percentage of patched vs. unpatched assets, and upcoming scheduled patches.
- Visual charts and trend graphs to monitor security posture over time.
- Drill-down links to move from summary metrics to detailed vulnerability or patch listings instantly.
Why It Matters
- Gives executives and security leads a clear, real-time snapshot without needing to navigate multiple pages.
- Helps prioritize remediation efforts based on severity trends and asset impact.
- Strengthens sales and demo impact by showing immediate value and coverage breadth.
- Speeds up decision-making by pairing high-level insight with one-click access to detailed actions.
Unified Vulnerability & Patch Views
Vulnerabilities and patches require separate navigation.
What You Get: A centralized System Vulnerability section under Software, showing CVE IDs, severity scores, affected software, and impacted assets—plus direct patch actions.
Why It Matters
- Reduces context-switching between tools or tabs.
- Delivers a single pane of glass for detection, investigation, and remediation.
Enhanced Vulnerability Details Page
What You Get: Click into any CVE to view:
- Patch availability and status
- Deployment history and log
- References to vendor advisories, technical blogs, and write-ups
Why It Matters:
- Puts technical and remediation details in one place.
- Helps teams validate fixes before pushing them into production.
Flexible Patch Deployment Options
What You Get:
- Add & Deploy: Manually add a patch and deploy immediately.
- Immediate Deploy: Trigger silent installation to one or many devices in real time.
- Scheduled Deploy: Plan future deployments with custom dates/times.
Why It Matters:
- Adapts to both urgent zero-day fixes and planned maintenance windows.
- Reduces downtime while ensuring timely patching.
Full Deployment Tracking & Alerts
What You Get: Real-time email alerts and in-app logs for:
- Patch deployment scheduled
- Successful deployment (with CVE, severity, assets patched)
- Failed deployment (with error reason)
Why It Matters:
- Keeps stakeholders informed without needing to log in.
- Speeds up response to failed or partial deployments.
Other core features in Patch Management
