Automating Third-Party Patching

Automating Third-Party Patching – Product Review

Automating Third-Party Patching

As a CISO, speaker, author, or security advisor I keep getting the same question again and again. What products do I use or recommend for Third-Party Patching. I deceided to review a few products and share my views as is. In this blog post I will quickly explain what Third Party pathing is and then review a product;

What is Third-Party Patching?

Third-party patching or third-party patch management is the process of deploying patch updates to third-party applications that have been installed on one or more of your endpoints (e.g., servers, desktops, or laptops). Third-party patching addresses bugs or vulnerabilities in the software that either affect its function or security. Patching software vulnerabilities is a critical part of your overall IT security process that helps prevent exploitation by hackers.

Endpoint management tools also perform patch management for operating systems including Windows, Windows Server and macOS to keep them up to date and protected against cyberattacks.

What are Third-Party Applications?

A third-party application is software created by a company other than the original manufacturer of the device on which the application is running or the operating system (OS) that supports it.

For example, Adobe Acrobat Reader is a third-party app that is available for both Microsoft Windows and macOS. (Source: Kaseya )

Now, let’s start with a product review  Easy2Patch :

What is 3rd Party Product?

3rd Party products are software developed by software companies / teams other than the operating system manufacturer. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Oracle Java, 7-zip, WinRAR etc. applications can be given as 3rd Party software examples.  These 3rd party applications should be updated on time from the right file, and from the right source to prevent cyber-attacks that can occur.

Cybersecurity administrators can use this information to see a list of possible malicious vulnerabilities in their structures. With the rules on the SCCM/WSUS side, they can ensure that the distributions are sent sequentially in test and production environments.

It works integrated with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (SCCM), which is one of the most used software as Endpoint Manager in IT structures, and Windows Server Update Service (WSUS), which is the update system. Detection, automatic distribution, unattended update of outdated software can be performed without the need for an additional agent structure. Easy2Patch allows the system administrator to perform an end-to-end automatic update after making basic settings.

Why is it Important to Update Third Party Software?

From their web site:

Patch potential security vulnerabilities faster with current updates
The operating systems installed on our computers and the vulnerabilities of the applications running on those computers could create a security vulnerability at least as serious as external threats and viruses.
Save time and labor in your software update processes
In today’s organizations, where many employees use a lot of software, manual version updates and patches create a huge operational burden.
Find suitable updates without manual tracking by matching vulnerabilities with the CVE database
Trying to follow up-to-date versions of different software in various structures with manual methods is both time-consuming and a method that can cause security vulnerabilities.
Increase your security by responding quickly to Zero-Day vulnerabilities
It is important to rapidly distribute patches and updates developed for newfound vulnerabilities in software and therefore highly vulnerable to external threats.
Make it easy for your software administrators with practical log structure and simple interface for troubleshooting
Easy2Patch has a log structure in a format suitable for the management skills of SCCM administrators. With its easy-to-learn and easy-to-use interface, it helps SCCM managers to manage related processes in the most practical way.
Update and Create Application or Applications without Agent
You can add additional applications or applications that are not in our catalog. While you are doing this, you do not need an agent. Easy2Patch does all the work for you.
