SICK Managed Services Patch management

Patch management from SICK ensures that operating systems on industrial PCs and servers are always up to date. The service encompasses the planning, procurement and examination of patches in the “Security updates”, “Critical updates” and “Update rollups” classes. The installation of these patch classes on operating systems ensures a secure operation system. The patch functions are tested in a test system that SICK aligns to the respective customer requirements. SICK then makes the patches available to the customer in the form of assessment reports. Patch management therefore ensures secure operating systems, closes security gaps, fixes program errors and prevents malware attacks.
