Continuous Validation of Policy Compliance

PatchLink Update's patented Digital Fingerprinting' Technology eliminates patch drift by ensuring that endpoints get patched and stay patched by creating a patch fingerprint profile that includes all software, hardware, drivers, and existing and missing patches for each machine. Each endpoint is then continually monitored. Administrators can also establish a mandatory baseline to automatically remediate endpoints that don't meet defined patch levels - a key aspect of regulatory compliance.
