Configuration and utilities 54
The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack is an all-in-one vulnerability assessment and patch
management tool. It enables you to gain the upper hand in the war against hackers, worms, and Trojan
software that exploit software security vulnerabilities by:
•
Enhancing system lifecycle management by incorporating vulnerability assessment and patching as
integral parts of the system management process.
•
Accelerating resolution of vulnerabilities by reducing the research time to understand the criticality of
the vulnerability and the expected behavior for patches and fixes.
•
Reducing the risk of security threats by automating the acquisition, scheduling the deployment, and
ensuring that the patches remain in place continuously enforcing the persistence (desired state) of
patches.
The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack and HP SIM can be installed on a single server (referred to
as a shared configuration) or on a separate server (referred to as a distributed configuration).
The Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack is included on the
Insight Control Data Center Edition
DVD. For more information, see the
HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack User
