Operating System Patching
Operating System Patching Service in the cloud.
Operating System (OS) Patching is an important part of keeping the systems and applications in your Bluelock Virtual Datacenter safe from malicious users who exploit vulnerabilities left open when operating systems are not kept up-to-date.
With Bluelock’s OS Patching Service, your IT team is freed up to focus on core IT competencies necessary to propel your organization forward.
Benefits of Bluelock's Operating System Patching Service.
Proactive Protection
An effective patch management process can close vulnerabilities before malicious users or worms have an opportunity to exploit them. The timely deployment of patches dramatically reduces corporate risk.
Low System Overhead
Our OS Patching does not require a software agent to be installed on your virtual machine, freeing up memory, CPU and storage space for more important items.
Full Visibility
Bluelock Client Support provides ongoing monitoring and detailed status reports available in PDF format either through our web portal or via email. You can also check the status in real-time on the host system.
Operating System Patching Service delivery.
Bluelock provides two patching windows per month to give you flexibility with your patching schedule. During the patch window, the security updates and critical updates identified by Microsoft as important or recommended are applied.
Ongoing Windows OS Protection
• Patch Tuesday
• Patching windows are on the first & second Sunday after Patch Tuesday
Quality Control: Bluelock runs a scan after the patching process is completed to verify that all patches were installed correctly. If there are any missing patches, Bluelock Client Support will notify you to coordinate a manual patching window at your convenience.
