Vulnerability & Patch Management

Enable Vulnerability & Patch Management

When enabled, vulnerability management system scans the device to detect any installed software that could be vulnerable to security risks. Patch management helps re-mediate these risks through automated software updates, keeping the devices more secure.

Enable auto-patch management for applications

When enabled, auto-patch management automatically updates supported installed software to the latest version. To avoid interrupting your work, the software is updated after regular working hours (between 5PM and 8AM).

Updating certain software may require a system restart to complete successfully. You can customize how and when the end user is notified about the need for a restart to avoid interrupting their work or causing any inconvenience.

This setting allows you to select a time frame to run a regular vulnerability scan and update allowed applications.
