IT PAIN POINTS
4
IT pain points (1/2)
“Users with the average software portfolio installed on their PCs will need to
master around 14 different update mechanisms from individual vendors to
update their programs and keep their IT systems protected against
vulnerabilities”
– Secunia Yearly Report 2010
Some vulnerabilities remain un-patched for as long as two years
– SANS, 2009
5
IT pain points (2/2)
» Failure to keep machines patched can lead to security breaches and
downtime
» Without an automated patching mechanism in place, manual patching is
very time-consuming
» Failure to comply with compliance regulations such as PCI DSS
can result in hefty fines
