Assessing missing patches

The scan of a device has determined all:

  • Missing patches,
  • Missing service packs,
  • Installed patches and
  • Installed service packs.

In this step you check the installed and missing patches to get an idea which patches you want to deploy first. To do so, proceed as follows:

  1. Go to Patch Management > Patch Detection > Scanned Devices > Your Scanned Device > Installed Patches to check which patches already been installed.
     All installed patches for this device are listed in the right window pane. They are ordered by severity and you find further information such as name, product and language.
  2. Click Missing Patches in the left window pane to check which patches are missing.Missing patches with the status Critical should be fixed immediately, whereas Low indicates the lowest severity.

You got an overview of all installed patches as well as missing patches which pose a threat to the security of the device in your network.
