HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack

The HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack software extends the functionality of

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to provide vulnerability and patch management for target systems.

The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack is an all-in-one vulnerability assessment and patch

management tool. It enables you to gain the upper hand in the war against hackers, worms, and Trojan

software that exploit software security vulnerabilities by:

•

Enhancing system lifecycle management by incorporating vulnerability assessment and patching as

integral parts of the system management process.

•

Accelerating resolution of vulnerabilities by reducing the research time to understand the criticality of

the vulnerability and the expected behavior for patches and fixes.

•

Reducing the risk of security threats by automating the acquisition, scheduling the deployment, and

ensuring that the patches remain in place continuously enforcing the persistence (desired state) of

patches.

The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack and HP SIM can be installed on a single server (referred to

as a shared configuration) or on a separate server (referred to as a distributed configuration).

The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack is included on the

Insight Control Data Center Edition

DVD. For more information, see the

HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack User

Guide

, or the HP website (

).
