Hart continues: “Besides the whole new user interface and service integration, the biggest news is that we have introduced a new service and a long-standing client wish: Patch Management. With this feature we can remotely update our Endpoint Security Suite to newer versions without the need for customer interaction. And at the same time it gives our customers the capability to update their own applications, e.g.Winzip.

Although Patch Management is not directly a security feature, it does help in preventing malicious attacks in programs that have known issues. We first scouted the market for already existing Patch Management applications, but those were costly and would raise the license price for customers significantly. By developing our own Patch Management feature, we can integrate it as a service in our full product line-up, making it available via a single dashboard. And equally important we avoid passing on the higher costs to our customers.
