Managed Patch Management
Keep Every Device Updated, Automatically
Unpatched software is one of the most commonly exploited routes into a business. Our managed patch management service keeps operating systems and third-party applications updated automatically across your endpoints and servers, so known weaknesses get closed before they can be used against you.
Why Patch Management Needs to Be Properly Managed
Software vendors release security patches for a reason: to close weaknesses that have already been identified. Left unpatched, those weaknesses remain open long after a fix exists.
Patching is not just about the operating system. Third-party applications are just as often the target of attacks, and are frequently overlooked when patching is left to individual users or handled inconsistently.
Manual patching is easy to get wrong. Devices get missed, updates get delayed, and over time gaps build up across the business without anyone noticing until something goes wrong.
OS and Third-Party Application Patching
We patch operating systems and the third-party applications your business relies on, not just Windows Update.
Windows, Mac and Linux Covered
Patch management is applied consistently across your environment, whatever mix of operating systems your business runs.
Your Managed Hardware Is Covered Too
Where AOIT supplies your hardware, it is patched and maintained as standard, as part of the same managed service.
Patching Managed Proactively, Not Reactively
Patch management works best as a proactive, ongoing discipline rather than something dealt with after an issue arises. We schedule and monitor patching across your estate as part of your wider managed IT, so updates are applied consistently without disrupting your team.
That means fewer gaps for attackers to exploit, and one team accountable for keeping your systems current.
