Find outdated software and vulnerabilities in your inventory
IT detects outdated software and known security vulnerabilities in its own inventory
Fits: IT & software development
You know which devices and servers run software without security updates or with known vulnerabilities, and you get an alert when a new vulnerability affects your inventory. This lets you patch in a targeted way instead of by gut feeling.
Is this for you?
- You have a list of your devices and software, or can export it from a management tool.
- Someone is responsible for installing updates, internally or at an IT service provider.
Export a software list with name and version, without device names, users or IP addresses. Use the template below to have it checked against manufacturer information on end of support and known vulnerabilities, and check every match yourself via the link.
How to go about it
- Decide what you keep an eye on
- Determine your inventory and warning sources
- Set up regular matching
- Assign matches and sort them by urgency
- Notify those responsible
- Fine-tune after a few weeks
