Automated server patching for maximum security and compliance

Customer requirement

A company wanted to automate its server patching processes to close security gaps faster, meet compliance requirements and increase system availability - even with high system diversity.

Challenge

Heterogeneous system landscapes, limited time windows, manual interventions and complex compliance requirements made a reliable and scalable solution imperative.

Project highlights

Fully automated patch management
Minimized downtimes & security risks
Integration in CMDB, monitoring & reporting
Scalability for heterogeneous IT landscapes

SPIRIT/21 solution

SPIRIT/21 implemented a centralized platform for the automated planning, execution and monitoring of patches - including intelligent time control, integration into peripheral systems (e.g. CMDB, ticketing, monitoring) and automatic reporting.
