HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack

The HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack software extends the functionality of HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to provide vulnerability and patch management for target systems.

The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack is an all-in-one vulnerability assessment and patch management tool. It enables you to gain the upper hand in the war against hackers, worms, and Trojan software that exploit software security vulnerabilities by:

• Enhancing system lifecycle management by incorporating vulnerability assessment and patching as integral parts of the system management process.
• Accelerating resolution of vulnerabilities by reducing the research time to understand the criticality of the vulnerability and the expected behavior for patches and fixes.
• Reducing the risk of security threats by automating the acquisition, scheduling the deployment, and ensuring that the patches remain in place continuously enforcing the persistence (desired state) of patches.

The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack and HP SIM can be installed on a single server (referred to as a shared configuration) or on a separate server (referred to as a distributed configuration).

The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack is included on the Insight Control Data Center Edition DVD. For more information, see the HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack User Guide, or the HP website.
