Avast Business Patch Management is an app that is designed to maintain both the safety and the security of shared networks. Unfortunately, patching is something that is not handled properly for many businesses because it takes a significant amount of time and effort. This leaves the security and safety of many shared networks compromised.

The process of patching can take numerous days to be carried out. This is why it tends to be a much neglected practice. The amount of time that it takes can cause a significant blow to the productivity rate of various operations. One of the biggest strengths of this app is that with it, Avast has managed to create a management console that is supported in the cloud. This allows users of Avast Business Patch Management to take advantage of a lot of the various antivirus products that Avast produces.

The management console is surprisingly easy to use. The dashboard is intuitive, and its use can quickly be mastered. One of the easiest things here is to check for patches that are newly available or currently missing. Another thing the app allows is checking to see whether or not particular patches have yet successfully installed on all of the devices that are connected.

It's worth noting that the deployment schedules here are quite flexible. That is an important consideration when it comes to maximizing the efficiency with which patch management proceeds. In fact, the deployment schedules actually make it possible to deploy patches at any time. These schedules can be set automatically or manually for deployment.

The process of having a schedule set involves automatic scans. It's possible to set patch deployment to be carried out on a daily basis. This will ensure that the patches stay adequately updated over time. Those who use this app are able to change the date and time as necessary with each of the scans.

The challenge with patch management often centers on the complexities of keeping patches updated. With Avast Business Patch Management, updates are simple thanks to the fact that notifications are regularly sent out regarding activity and the need for updates. Advanced reporting is a feature worked into the software that makes it easy to check on the status and health of the software of the device on which the application is being used.
