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.

Industry-wide data from the last 18 months

32% of vulnerabilities remain unpatched for more than 180 days
60% of breaches are tied to unpatched, known vulnerabilities
<5 days median time attackers take to exploit a disclosed vulnerability

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.

There to help even if you're not sure what to do!

AOIT are always there to help, even when I wasn't sure what the solution is! A few weeks ago, I tried to call a contact. The outbound call didn't work, so I dropped them a text, and they were unable to reach me either. Having worked with Andrew a few times previously, I decided to get in touch with him, even though it was none of his equipment causing issues.
