Managing Security Patches for All Platform Software Can Be a Daunting Task

We can help alleviate this burden on your internal resources.

Depending on your choice of operating system and third-party OEM software, such as RDBMS, security software and various applications that enable management of systems, the sheer number of periodic security patches for these platforms makes internal patch management a cumbersome and extremely time-consuming proposition.

Installation of untested patches may adversely affect the functionality, performance and vulnerability status of your SCADA system or applications software. Non-deployment of a patch could also expose you to potentially serious vulnerability and regulation compliance issues. Your system maintenance staff faces an ever-growing burden due to the sheer volume of patches.

We can simplify your life by offering a holistic approach to patch management. Prevention is paramount to a sustainable patch management strategy.

We use a holistic approach in dealing with risks posed by third-party software patches to our clients. Our risk mitigation starts with prevention rather than post-treatment. We isolate and limit the use of risky third-party platform software. Where we use such software, we limit our interfaces and interactions between our platform and the third-party software in a well-defined and loosely coupled manner to minimize the impact of changes to the third-party software on our core software. The result is an automation platform that is more immune to vulnerabilities posed by third-party software, and one whose security integrity is much easier to maintain in response to the sheer number of security patches being issued on a weekly and monthly basis.

We offer a patch management strategy tailored to your staffing and budget constraints.

We offer a multi-tier service strategy which that identifies relevant and pertinent patches, installs and tests these patches against your release of monarch™ software, certifies and fixes potential incompatibilities with the monarch software, and makes a final determination about the compatibility of the patch with your monarch system.

Our patch management services, with a varying cost and service level, can offer a tailored solution to your patch management problem. For more information, please contact info@osii.com.
