Episode 30 – Patch Management: Still a Hamster Wheel of Pain After All These Years
Amrit Williams, CTO of BigFix, Inc. and Rich Mogull, Founder and Chief Analyst of Securosis discuss Project Quant, a Microsoft-sponsored research effort to better understand the software patch and update process from both the software vendor and software licensee points of view. Microsoft has agreed to make all survey data accessible to the public and it will cover patch processes supporting products from a wide variety of software vendors–not just Windows. Rich and Amrit invite listeners to participate in the survey posted on www.securosis.com

Finding a robust patch management solution is becoming more and more difficult as machines are less and less accessible to the management console. I have found success using patch management from Kaseya. Because of the agent based framework, I have connectivity to every machine that is connected to the Internet, independent of location. – URL: http://www.kaseya.com/products/patch-management/features.aspx
