Patch Management
Keeping software up-to-date is one of the most effective ways to prevent security breaches. digiBandit manages patching for all devices under our managed services so you don't have to think about it.
What We Patch
- Operating Systems - Windows updates, macOS updates, and Linux packages
- Third-Party Software - Browsers, productivity tools, runtimes, and common business applications
- Firmware - Network equipment firmware updates during maintenance windows
How It Works
Automated Patching
Our monitoring platform (Tactical RMM) handles patch deployment across all managed devices:
- Windows Updates are applied on a managed schedule with automatic reboots during off-hours when required
- Third-party applications are updated automatically via our software management policies
- Critical security patches are prioritized and deployed as soon as possible after release
Manual Patching
Some updates require manual intervention:
- Line-of-business software that requires testing before deployment
- Major OS upgrades that may affect workflows
- Custom applications with vendor-specific update procedures
For these, submit a ticket with the software details and we'll coordinate an update window.
Patch Schedule
| Type | Frequency | Window |
|---|---|---|
| Windows Updates | Weekly | Wednesday evenings |
| Third-Party Apps | Weekly | Automated |
| Critical Security | ASAP | Within 24 hours of release |
| Firmware | As needed | Scheduled maintenance window |
Privilege Access Management
If you need to install or update software that requires administrator permissions, our privilege access management system lets you request elevation without needing full admin credentials. See Privilege Access Management for details.
What's Included
Patch management is included in Standard and Fully Managed device management tiers at no additional cost. See Device Management for tier details.
