ZENworks Patch Management
Organizations today experience a seemingly endless stream of software security threats accompanied by the patches required to fix them. Keeping up can strain even the best-staffed IT department.
Simply maintaining patched endpoints can feel overwhelming. Quickly responding to critical security
threats can feel impossible. ZENworks Patch Management helps you easily update your endpoint
software on a regular schedule as well as quickly identify and remediate emerging security threats.
Product Highlights
OpenText™ ZENworks Patch Management
helps you proactively manage threats byautomating the collection, analysis, and delivery of patches to a diverse range of endpoints.
Policy-based patching lets you maintain patchcurrency on devices through regularly scheduled updates. Security-focused patching lets
you identify software security vulnerabilities
that impact devices and apply, in one action,
all patches required to remediate the devices.
ZENworks Patch Management is available
either as a standalone product or as a discounted subscription option in the OpenText™
ZENworks Suite.

quickly identify and assess vulnerabilities,
and automatically apply updates andpatches to bring devices up to predefinedpolicies and standards.
■ Identify critical software security

vulnerabilities (WannaCry, NotPetya,SamSam, BlueKeep, and more) that impact
your devices in order to respond quickly
to emerging threats.
■ Manage endpoint lifecycle and security

issues through a single pane of glasswith configuration, patch, asset, andendpoint security management—
all integrated in one console.

Collection, Analysis and Pre-Testing

Policy-Based Compliance

ZENworks Patch Management eliminates theextensive time and manual effort required tocollect, analyze, and test the overwhelming
number of patches available for different typesof endpoint systems. This includes:

ZENworks Patch Management allows you tocreate mandatory baselines for patch compliance based on predefined policies, continuallymonitor endpoint systems for compliance, automatically remediate systems that don’t meet
minimum standards, and clearly document improvements in patch compliance. This includes:■ Vulnerability announcements that inform

organizations when a new patch is readyfor deployment.
■ The world’s largest dynamic repositoryof patches, which provides more than
50,000 pre-tested patches for more than
100 major current and legacy applications
and operating systems (including Linuxand Mac).
■ Reliable and thoroughly pre-tested

patch packages that dramatically reduce
the time and labor required to check, verify,
and deploy patches.

Automated Deployment
In addition to providing an extensive libraryof pre-tested patch packages, ZENworks
Patch Management includes features thatstreamline and automate every aspect of thepatch deployment and verification process.
This includes:■ Fast, automatic patch deployment basedon predefined policies, as well as the ability
to customize tested patches as needed.
■ A wizard-based interface that simplifies

the process of getting the right patches tothe right endpoints quickly and efficiently,
plus download percentage reports thatprovide real-time status updates.
■ Support for phased rollouts to ensuresmooth, error-free patch deployments
to large numbers of systems.
■ Rapid verification of patch deploymentsthat catches deployment issues before
they can become security problems.
■ A virtual appliance deployment option for

patch, configuration, asset, and endpoint
security management, which simplifies
installation and reduces support costs.

■ Patented digital fingerprinting technologythat establishes a security profile for eachmanaged node on your network andfacilitates ongoing compliance.
■ 21 standard reports that documentchanges and demonstrate progress
toward internal and external audit andpatch compliance requirements.
■ Automatic application of required

updates and patches to new systems
and installations to bring them into
compliance with predefined patch
policies and standards.

Emerging Threat Detection
and Remediation
ZENworks Patch Management identifies thesoftware security threats that impact yourendpoints to help you prioritize your remediation efforts and track the results. This includes:■ Identification of vulnerabilities based on

industry-standard Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures (CVEs) imported from theNIST National Vulnerability Database.
■ Customizable dashboards that show

the CVEs impacting your devices,
organized by severity, release date,or vulnerable device count.
■ One-click remediation of impacted

devices to automatically apply all patches
required to remediate the CVE without
needing to find or select the patches.
■ Tracking of remediation progress for

CVEs that shows current vulnerability
status as well as increasing or decreasing
trend over time.
