ThreatLocker® Patch Management

Secure your network and say goodbye to tedious work and unexpected surprises.

What is ThreatLocker® Patch Management?

ThreatLocker® Patch Management acts as a vigilant guard, constantly scanning your devices for outdated applications and identifying those in need of patching. It takes care of the tedious work—eliminating the need to check multiple sources for different alerts—by consolidating everything into one place for seamless management.

Instead of spending time researching and deciding on every pending patch—what, when, and how—ThreatLocker Patch Management handles it all for you.

Why ThreatLocker® Patch Management?

While the patch management process is quite common and repetitive, it remains time-consuming and brings new challenges every time:

  • Will the updates conflict with existing applications?
  • Is this a zero-day threat that must be addressed immediately?
  • Could unintended changes in default settings disrupt workflows?

Even a routine task can turn into a high-stakes challenge. ThreatLocker® is making these challenges a thing of the past. Now, Patch Management addresses all these concerns and supports a streamlined, stress-free patch management process. We’ll even dare to say, install Patch Management and forget about patch management: we got it covered.

How does ThreatLocker® Patch Management work?

Once identified, the ThreatLocker® Cyber Hero® Team will inspect the software update within a testing environment before pushing it to your managed devices. We’ll make sure the software update does exactly what it’s supposed to—nothing more, nothing less—so your environment stays secure and stable.

From there, patching proceeds according to your preset patch management policies—whether based on specific machines, organizations, or timing. When needed, you can defer software updates up to 90 days. No more manual updating applications on each machine or mass pushes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I already use a third-party patch management system. Why should I switch to ThreatLocker?

ThreatLocker has an entire team of built-in providers that work 24/7 testing every built in app, testing every update, installing it in their environments, cataloging the files, ensuring that the update is now on the allowlist, ensuring the process is smooth and seamless from beginning to end.  And when there is a problem in the environment, ThreatLocker reports this centrally.  

So now we can show you the applications in your environment that are out of date, that are missing updates and provide a method to patch them right from the same platform.

How can I tell which computers in my organization are running out-of-date software?

ThreatLocker Patch Management will display a flag on the Organization’s Application list that shows if any computers in the organization are running an out-of-date version of that application. Admins can quickly drill down and see exactly which computers are running the out-of-date software and choose to patch immediately, if desired.

How can we automate the patching process without losing control or oversight?

With ThreatLocker Patch Management, you can create policies to patch applications. And once an update is observed, those policies will automatically apply the updates according to the delay and schedule that the admin has set. When a policy is triggered and has not yet been patched, the policies will display in a single page, allowing the admin to trigger an update before the policy is set to apply and to cancel the patch policy if needed.

Can we track which patches have been applied?

ThreatLocker Patch Management will display a patch history for each computer that will show which patches have been applied or skipped.

Can I patch different groups of computers on a different cadence?

Absolutely! When creating patch policies, you can customize policies for the Entire Organization, Computer Groups, and individual Computers. Each policy can have a specified delay between the time an update is observed to the time in which the patch is applied, and you can schedule them based on your needs.

HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

Build your application allowlist without lifting a finger.

Learning mode helped us to figure out what is our allowlist, and it built it for us without us having to do much of anything at all. Once we had that allowlist, then we were able to further benefit to know what our inventory of software was across departments.

See everything running in your environnment, instantly.

Within the first week of implementing ThreatLocker, we were able to view our entire inventory of applications—something my team always had to do manually. Within an hour or two were able to see every learned application on our system... that doesn't happen very often.

Get a clear view of application usage and exposure.

The advantage of using ThreatLocker in our organization is we now have a much better understanding of the applications that run on our estate and the potential risks of using those applications. And it helps us inform our risk score as an enterprise.

Get real peace of mind for your IT team.

With ThreatLocker, we have the ability to centralize disparate elements in the security stack, and support from the Cyber Hero team is bar none. Leveraging ThreatLocker allows me to sleep soundly at night because I know that I'm always one step ahead of threat actors.

Stop lateral movement inside your network.

Our servers were vulnerable once someone gained access to the network. ThreatLocker was the solution we needed. The platform makes me more conscious of what's coming in and out of our network... It gave me an opportunity to look behind the scenes.

Go beyond what an antivirus could ever do.

The ThreatLocker solution was perfect for us.  With ThreatLocker Unified Audit, we get a clear description of what is allowed or denied on our network, and why. If I had a choice between an antivirus and ThreatLocker, I'd take ThreatLocker all day long.

Control risk across your entire organization.

Before ThreatLocker, we had a lot of risk that we just couldn't control. Now, we're doing a better of a job of providing a secure environment for our patients, doctors, and manufacturers. We want to make sure we're really protecting our network. ThreatLocker lets us do that very well.

Customize your security to fit your environment.

What we liked about ThreatLocker was how each tool built on the last, allowing us to control exactly how granular we wanted to get with locking down our environment. We had explored other options, but wWith ThreatLocker, we were able to get everything we needed from one place.

Revolutionize your cybersecurity with powerful best-in-class tools.

Prior to ThreatLocker, we didn’t have a solution in place to help with application whitelisting. Implementing it into our environment was truly game-changing because we’d never used anything like it before. It came in, took control, and significantly reduced our threat landscape.
