"SupportSoft Patch+ was designed specifically with the needs of large enterprises in mind, where remote and mobile populations are increasingly the norm," said Simon King, senior director of enterprise product management for SupportSoft. "With Patch+, enterprises can rapidly deploy patches and verify their installation in real time for tens of thousands of computers -- no matter whether they're located inside or outside a company's firewall. The result is that computing endpoints can be made less vulnerable to cyber- attacks, more compliant with IT and regulatory polices, and more secure overall."

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SupportSoft (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies), Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRT - News), a leading provider of Real-Time Service Management (RTSM(TM)) software, today announced the latest version of its Patch+(TM) software. The new version of Patch+ includes real-time vulnerability assessment to extend the reach of enterprise software distribution (ESD) by more effectively targeting computing endpoints and by verifying successful patch installation across the enterprise, including hard-to-reach endpoints used by remote and mobile employees. SupportSoft's agent-based Patch+ software uses a Web-based architecture to help organizations build a deeper defense against IT infrastructure problems with their patch management strategy. Patch+ can provide real-time vulnerability assessment at the endpoint to accelerate typically complex patch processes, harden endpoints against emerging threats through end-user alerts and other methods, enforce IT policies and independently verify software and regulatory compliance. For remote and mobile users, IT administrators can ... provide patch alerts when end-users connect to the corporate network, alerting them that a patch is available for installation or installing it automatically to ensure protection from a virus, for example.
