GravityZone Patch Management

Given the time constraints faced by IT and security teams, many organizations find it challenging to consistently deploy patches and security updates across all their operating systems and applications without causing significant disruptions. 

Unpatched vulnerabilities increase the risk of a data breach, especially in a work-from-home scenario where employee endpoints are no longer behind enterprise-grade hardware appliances designed to prevent exploits at the network layer. 

Automated patch management enables organizations to stay ahead of threats by ensuring that the latest security patches and updates are always installed quickly and efficiently. 

GravityZone Patch Management is an optional add-on module to any of Bitdefender’s GravityZone endpoint security solutions. It is available for purchase online or through one of Bitdefender’s trusted partners.

The module is compatible with all Microsoft Windows desktop and server operating systems, macOS and Linux environments, including an extensive list of third-party applications. Check out the full list of supported vendors and products on the business support page. 

Patch management is the practice of reviewing, understanding, testing, deploying and reconciling software product updates. It helps security professionals identify risks and vulnerabilities within their systems and improves the stability of an organization’s IT infrastructure, also increasing the security posture. 

GravityZone Patch Management is available for purchase either online or with one of our partners.

When choosing to purchase online your subscription automatically begins at the purchase date.

By subscribing, you are purchasing a recurring subscription which will automatically renew if you don’t specifically cancel the automatically renew option. 

The Bitdefender Auto Renewal Plan is designed to save you time, effort, and minimize your vulnerability risk by extending your subscription automatically before you run out of protection.

Yes. GravityZone Patch Management lets IT teams schedule scans for missing security and non-security patches, prioritize and automate critical updates, and postpone the reboot for patches that require a restart. You can also blacklist specific patches to temporarily prevent installing updates that might break a workflow. These controls reduce disruption to users and business operations while keeping systems current.

Yes. GravityZone Patch Management is managed from the same GravityZone console for both cloud and on-premises deployments. The Patch Caching Server feature lets an endpoint with the Relay role store patches from vendor websites and distribute them inside your network, which reduces internet traffic, conserves bandwidth, and limits external web access. This supports environments with remote sites or restricted internet access.

GravityZone Patch Management runs inside the same GravityZone security agent, console, and policy as your endpoint protection. There is no separate tool to deploy or maintain. Many security vendors do not patch natively and hand remediation to a partner product, and some endpoint-management tools cover the operating system but need add-ons for third-party applications.

GravityZone Patch Management supports a large base of third-party applications across common business software. Bitdefender maintains the full, current list of supported vendors and products on its business support page.
