Close the Gaps. Stop the Threats. Keep Your Business Running.
The problem
Patching is thankless, endless, and broken. Teams are constantly firefighting, and manual workarounds fill gaps between disconnected tools. Late patches, offline devices, surprise reboots increase risk and user frustration. And all the while, threat actors are getting better and faster at exploiting unpatched devices.
Patching’s (messy) reality
The old way is broken. Manual patching is slow, fragile, and completely blind to the modern, distributed workforce. This isn't just inefficient; it’s an open invitation for an attack. Simply automating the old, broken process just means you make mistakes faster. The real answer is intelligent automation. A strategy that adapts in real-time to a shifting threat landscape, ensuring every action strengthens your security posture, rather than just checking a box.
Absolute Security delivers a differentiated approach to patch management with Absolute Resilience for Automation. It combines automated remediation, patch orchestration, and endpoint visibility with firmware-embedded persistence, a patented capability that maintains a tamper-proof connection to devices even after OS corruption, reimaging, or factory reset.
Patch like you mean it
Stop gambling on patching with fragile agents that fail off-network. Absolute delivers the only undeletable, firmware-embedded connection to every endpoint—enabling true, closed-loop patching others can’t match. With intelligent automation for diagnostics, remediation, and rollbacks, plus full-spectrum coverage from firmware to OS and apps, you maintain stability without manual intervention. Even zero-day vulnerabilities are addressed with published remediations, and proxy relay ensures no device goes unpatched—even in complex network segments.

Automate patch management FAQ
automated patch managementとは、中央のソリューションを使って、すべてのendpointに対してソフトウェア更新、つまり「patch」を自動的に展開するプロセスです。[NA1] 手作業でのpatchingは、もはや勝ち目のない戦いになっています。デバイスはオンネットワークにもオフネットワークにも存在し、リモートワーカーの手元にもあり、脆弱性の数は増え続けています。automationは、その反復的で時間のかかる作業を引き受けます。これにより、重要なセキュリティ更新を迅速かつ一貫して適用でき、endpoint securityを直接強化し、未適用の脆弱性による侵害リスクを減らせます。
ここで状況が大きく変わります。従来のツールは、VPNに依存しているため、デバイスが企業ネットワークを離れた瞬間に機能しなくなることがよくあります。最新のautomated patchingソリューションは、各endpointに対する持続的でファームウェア組み込み型の接続を利用します。つまり、デバイスがどこにあっても、VPNに接続していなくても問題ありません。流れはシンプルです。
- ソリューションが新しいpatchとその重要度を特定します。
- 関連するすべてのデバイスにpatchを自動的にダウンロードして展開します。
- インストールが正常に完了したかを検証します。
- リアルタイムのcompliance証跡を管理者に返します。
重要なのは壊れない制御を持つことです。リモートendpointが安全であることを「期待する」のではなく、確実に「把握できる」ようになります。
もっともな懸念です。誰もが、ひどいpatchによって業務全体が止まった経験を持っています。ただ、私はむしろ賢いautomationの方が中断を減らすと考えます。「とにかく一斉に配る」やり方ではなく、優れたシステムは細かな制御を提供します。営業時間外に展開をスケジュールしたり、重要な業務を妨げないようにrebootを調整したり、本番展開前に少数デバイスでテストしたりできます。中には失敗したpatchを自動で取り消すintelligent rollback機能を備えたplatformもあり、安定性維持に非常に重要です。これは制御を失う話ではなく、より賢く、よりresilientに実行するためのものです。
新たな脆弱性の膨大な量は、人を立ちすくませます。[NA2] どこから始めるべきなのか分からなくなるからです。そこで、risk reductionのためのrisk-based prioritizationが不可欠になります。単にCVSS scoreだけを基準にpatchするやり方は、もはや時代遅れです。効果的な自動化ソリューションは、脆弱性データを現実世界のthreat intelligenceと統合します。その結果、攻撃者が今まさに悪用しているものや、ビジネスにとって最も重要な資産に集中できます。これにより、reactiveでchecklist中心の対応から、最大の脅威に先回りするproactiveな戦略へ移行できます。
他の何とも連携できないpatching toolは、単に新しいsiloを作るだけです。真のendpoint securityには、統合されたecosystemが必要です。優れたautomated patch managementソリューションは、既存ツールと対立するのではなく連携すべきです。ITSMシステム（ServiceNowのようなもの）、vulnerability scanner、その他のsecurity platformとのintegrationを提供するplatformを選ぶべきです。理想は、脆弱性が検出され、ticketが作成され、patchが展開され、ticketがクローズされるまでが、すべて自動で流れることです。このレベルのintegrationにより、patchingは手作業の雑務ではなく、自動化されたsecurity responseの重要な一部になります。
