Patch Management for Your Most Critical Business Assets

Manage Physical and Virtual Servers - Single Process, Single Console, Single Team

With Shavlik’s flexible architecture, it’s easy to manage physical systems and virtual machines from a centralized console. Shavlik’s NetChk Protect provides centralizied patch management that reaches across the entire enterprise with a tool set that finds and fixes gaps for all systems – physical and virtual. Centralized management frees up critical IT staff to work on things that can’t be automated or on initiatives that build business and add to revenue bottom line. With continuous assessment and remediation, organizations benefit in a network that is more secure while significantly reducing operational costs.

AGENTS NOT REQUIRED- Start Sooner, Finish Faster
NetChk Protect is agentless technology but can deploy agents when needed. Shavlik’s revolutionary agentless technology and easy-to-implement solution provides the shortest route to value. In a matter of hours, not weeks or months, you’ll discover systems you didn’t know you had and software you didn’t know was installed and eliminate those blind spots and manage more than just Microsoft OS and applications.

Shavlik NetChk Protect works both with and without agents…the agent distribution process takes but a few clicks of the mouse – Min Ju, Director of Security at CDW.

DON’T BE FOOLED INTO BELIEVING YOU ARE PATCHED WHEN YOU’RE NOT

Shavlik is the Industry leader for accuracy. Scanning engines are not always accurate; many scanners have flawed scan-logic or only check windows registry settings which are susceptible to false positives- saying you are patched when you are not. Shavlik NetChk Protect is the most accurate scan engine for Windows environments scanning name/file version numbers in addition to registry checks and other identifiers. Shavlik is often used by customers to find what their other tools missed.

MOST FLEXIBLE REBOOT OPTIONS IN THE INDUSTRY

This is a critical difference for servers. Shavlik provides pinpoint control over when systems are rebooted- during planned downtime. Shavlik NetChk Protect enables administrators to specify detailed, granular reboot instructions. This is one of the primary reasons Shavlik NetChk Protect is used by organizations with limited maintenance windows.

“We needed more control over applying updates to our critical business systems, as any unplanned reboot was costing us thousands of dollars per minute. Shavlik NetChk Protect allows us to decide when updates are applied and systems rebooted, saving us time and money on critical IT staff and increasing profitability to business.”
