Patch management is an integral part of application security, so it should be high on your list of priorities when it comes to your Mac estate. IT admins spend hours scouring the web for software updates, but it doesn't have to be as complex and time consuming as you might think.
Formerly a repetitive manual process, quality device management solutions like Jamf Pro have made it easy for users to ensure their software is up to date and secure. How does it do this? Well, Jamf Pro automatically notifies administrators when third party software updates are released, bypassing the rigmarole of figuring out what needs upgrading and which updates are available. This is especially handy given that so many popular third party applications churn out multiple updates a month.
Figuring out where to take action when new updates are available can also be tricky, as most organisations with thousands of machines and users are likely running different applications and software versions. Identifying potential software vulnerabilities is a must, but thankfully Jamf Pro provides visibility into the software version an application is running, as well as the number of devices operating on a specific patch. All the information is compiled in an easy to understand visual, and reports can be downloaded or bookmarked so you can share your findings with colleagues. From there, you can take action as and when you need to, ensuring the security of your Mac environment.
If you're looking to take patch management one step further, Jamf Pro allows IT admins to automate update deployment by utilising policies and scripts. We'd recommend using a mixture of packaged scripts to guarantee a successful rollout with minimal downtime and interference.
