Syxsense Patch Management
What it is
Syxsense Patch Management is a paid, cloud-hosted service for finding missing operating-system and third-party patches, prioritizing risk and deploying updates from a central console. Syxsense was founded in 2012, and the service is hosted in Microsoft Azure. Supported targets include Windows, Mac, Linux and third-party applications such as Adobe, Java and Chrome. Patches appear in the console within hours of release, while scans show severity and whether vulnerabilities are being exploited. Administrators can target device groups and create recurring maintenance windows for Microsoft Patch Tuesday releases, critical Linux patches or third-party updates. Reboot timing can be scheduled. Syxsense states support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and IoT operating systems, with web also listed. Syxsense Manage provides live device data for compliance reporting and operating-system, hardware and software inventory. Syxsense Enterprise includes an open API for data transfers. The platform includes Syxsense Cortex, a no-code automation and orchestration engine. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is listed.
