While we understand the importance of the “Location” field, our current system architecture doesn’t allow for the addition of custom fields in the asset management report.
These are a few simple steps to follow while resetting your password:
Step 1: Try logging in to your account with an old password.
Step 2: You will be redirected to a different page where you will get an option to reset the password.
Step 3: You will be asked to enter your username/ email ID to send the password reset link.
Step 4: Open your inbox and click on the password reset link.
Step 5: Setup your new password and engage with our community:)We are in the process of GDPR evaluation. However, if you see this as an immediate requirement, I will recommend you choose On-prem deployment, in which case you can deploy within your premises on a physical or cloud instance.
Persistent vs. Non-Persistent VDI Environments:
Persistent VDI Environment: Each user has their own dedicated virtual desktop that retains changes and configurations.
Non-Persistent VDI Environment: Users are provided with a standard desktop image that resets after each session.
Integration of Agents in the Golden Image:
Agents are included in the golden image, simplifying deployment and ensuring they’re pre-installed and ready for activation.
Agent Activation Process:
Agents within the golden image are initially inactive but automatically connect to the Anchor server upon VDI instance provision to activate.
Agent Uninstallation:
Agents can be uninstalled manually or via a silent parameter during VDI decommissioning, ensuring proper removal without manual intervention.
If any queries persist, please feel free to reach out, and I’ll be happy to help.
To have a Golden Image set up, one would have to have the SanerNow Agent installed on the image without it (agent) being activated. By default, the SanerNow Agent automatically gets activated after installation. However, when creating OS images with SanerNow Agent preinstalled, you don’t want the agent to be automatically activated. Please find the instructions on how not to have the agent activated automatically from the link below.
Agent Installation Through Commandline Options (secpod.com)”Reports can be filtered by Hostname on the product UI. We also have hostname and IP Address relationship accessible through APIs.
We do not store PII. You can vet our security and privacy documentation here: https://security.secpod.com/
Our agents do a complete OS and 3rd Party Application scan. If there’s anything else you expect, please elaborate your use case here and our team will respond.
At present, we do not have the provisions for Asset Tagging, but it is en route to be released. We do however have, grouping possible, wherein we can group devices based on certain conditions defined by the user.
Patch management is the process of managing a network by scanning, testing, and deploying missing patches. Applying patches to lots of devices in a network becomes cumbersome. Furthermore, it can have dangerous consequences if not done correctly. Some applications might break or cause other applications not to work.
Patch management software ensures that patches for your apps are installed regularly and on time. Patch management tools help make this process when the number of devices increases. Great patch management tool automates the manual task by scheduling patches. These tools also help make the rollback of patches easier if an app breaks.
Why do we need patch management?
Now that we have understood “what patching” and “what patch management is,” let’s understand why we need it. Every day, we discover new vulnerabilities in OSs or 3rd party applications. The vendors must ensure fixes to these vulnerabilities, usually in the form of patches. The need for patches is further compounded by the fact that unpatched software is one of the leading causes of cyberattacks.
Patch management software plays an essential role in the vulnerability management process. Patches are critical as they help reduce the attack surface of your device and decrease the chance of a security breach. Patches also provide a slew of other benefits that can improve the app’s security, performance, and user experience.
Security:
Attackers exploit new weaknesses in the application as soon as they are discovered. Patches become necessary to fix vulnerabilities and installing patches as soon as they are released is vital.Feasibility:
When the number of devices and applications installed increases, it becomes difficult and time-consuming to apply patches to each of them manually. Automated patch management helps install these patches in a streamlined manner and also improves the speed and efficiency of the vulnerability management process instead of doing it manually.Performance:
Patches are also used to improve the application’s performance, and patch management software helps you keep your applications regularly updated. Patches are essential, whether it is quality of life or performance improvements.
