With exploits for known vulnerabilities unleashed on the Internet within as little as 5 days from the release of new patches from Microsoft, it is imperative your desktops and servers be regularly updated to keep them safe from attack.

With Patch Authority Ultimate (PAU), administrators can patch all desktops and servers from a single, easy to use interface, across the network and even the Internet. PAU’s intuitive interface makes real-time scanning and patch deployment a cinch, but it can also be scaled to a 100,000 machine enterprise using agent and agent-less deployment, Patch Groups to group machines, Aggregated Reporting to roll-up reports to the executive level, Distribution Servers for localized deployment, and Deployment Templates for defining the what, how and when of patch deployment.

With Patch Authority Ultimate, patching servers and desktops can be done in as little as 2 clicks: scan, and then deploy. But behind the simplicity are options to get as granular and exercise as much control as you like, with patch grouping, computer grouping and filtering, Agent management, and extensive reboot options.

A complete patch management solution must let executives, compliance officers and administrators gain a full understanding of the state of security on their network. Patch Authority Ultimate comes with over 20 reports providing vital information regarding patches, scans and deployment results.

With Patch Authority Ultimate, administrators are not limited to just patching the latest Microsoft

products. Support out-of-the-box includes many older applications and OS components, and also a growing number of 3rd party applications that have known weaknesses, including Adobe Reader, WinZip and Real Player.

To further secure your desktops and servers, Patch Authority Ultimate is bundled with Security Explorer, which gives administrators the power to simultaneously manage and secure the Services and Tasks on multiple servers and desktops running all Windows OS, including NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008. Services on multiple computers can be started, stopped, restarted and deleted, and startup settings and passwords can be easily controlled from a single interface, keeping your desktops and servers compliant with your company’s password and configuration policies and ensuring that services run smoothly after patching.
