Quick, reliable and automated
In recent years, the security risks to IT systems have increased even as operating system and application manufacturers devote ongoing effort to patch product weaknesses. Upstream solutions like the installation of firewalls and virus scanners are not sufficient. Operating systems and applications are constantly patched to defend against the latest exploits.
For patch management Brainware offers a complete solution based on the software module Columbus PatchDeploy and the service Columbus Patch Subscription.
Columbus PatchDeploy is the foundation module allowing monitoring and distribution of patches from any software manufacturer. PatchDeploy is completely integrated into the Columbus management infrastructure, and makes it possible to also provide and distribute individual patches for any third-party or custom software source.

Patching all the different applications is a tough job. Just running WSUS is not enough, since WSUS and Microsoft Update techniques only patch Microsoft applications. Applications as Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Reader are exposed, and these applications are clear targets for hackers.
With Columbus Patch Subscription, Brainware takes a step forward to offer tested and Columbus-compliant patches for all common operating systems and applications. Our patch portfolio include patches for Microsoft products and also for other manufacturers such as Adobe, Oracle, IBM, VMWare and even custom-software patches as required. The selection of the product patches provided is tied to the software our customers use and manage in their environments.
