    Unifying Windows and Linux under a single banner – Patch & Asset Management can now provide powerful and insightful vulnerability and patch management for both Windows and Linux-running machines and group policies. Install, deploy, and push security and non-security updates & patches on any system anywhere and anytime, regardless of build. Compatible with Ubuntu 18.04+.

    As soon as 3rd party vendors release new patches, our technology silently deploys them to your endpoints based on your configured policies, without the need for manual input, reboots or user interruption. Additionally, you can always use the Infinity Management add-on to deploy and patch any other custom application that supports silent installation commands.

    Patch & Asset Management has the shortest vendor to end-user waiting time: < 4 hours, which includes testing and repackaging. Every patch, update, rollup, hotfix, security pack, or fix is tested, adware-cleaned, and repackaged before added to your Heimdal cloud. HTTPS encapsulation ensures data in-transit privacy. Once uploaded to the Heimdal cloud, the resource becomes available for distribution and deployment.

    Enjoy completely customizable set-and-forget settings that allow you to automatically deploy your software and updates, with a full compliance and CVE/CVSS audit trail. This gives you the powerful option to tailor your entire IT environment. You can create policies that meet your exact needs across the Active Directory groups within your organization. Once configured, the deployment is easy and simple.
