Autonomous IT is here and it is transforming how organisations across the world work - increasing resource and technological efficiencies whilst championing security. Today we are discussing a critical first step in freeing up resources and laying secure foundations for transformation… Patching.
Patch management is a crucial part of any business. From chaotic, ad-hoc beginnings to the regular cadence of Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday, how IT teams patch vulnerable systems has evolved considerably over the past decades. Yet there are still inefficiencies in the patching process.
This Video Q&A, brought to you in collaboration with ITPro and Tanium, explores a new answer to this problem: autonomous patch management. With the ability to save companies time and money, while freeing up IT professionals to do more valuable tasks, autonomous patching could be the answer your business is looking for.
Join Rob Broughall, Kate Jefferyes and Dan Jones from Tanium as they discuss the history and complexities of software patching, as well as explore how automation can help lift the drudgery of this crucial but repetitive task.
