Marimba Patch Management from BMC Software enables the management and deployment of security and functional patches on servers, desktops and laptops across the enterprise. By automating the critical patch management functions such as patch collection, preparation, testing, staging, deployment and auditing, Marimba helps administrators save time, improve response times and reduce attack related risks.

Business Benefits

• Enable patch and security compliance across your enterprise by rapidly detecting vulnerabilities and performing automatic remediation.
• Dramatically reduce the maintenance and support cost spikes associated with patch detection and installation.
• Protect employee productivity by providing continued operations for local and geographically distributed employees.

Real-time enforcement of your patch policies.

Marimba Patch Management from BMC Software automatically collects and stores patch information from multiple sources including OS vendor sites as well as third party repositories such as Shavlik, thereby reducing the costs associated with manual patch tracking, reporting and analysis. Administrators can view a normalized display of all patch data, including patch dependencies, and can customize the patch information such as severity levels and descriptions. They can filter patch data, report on common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) for Microsoft patches and set policies to automatically receive email or visual alerts of new patches.

Administrators can deploy patches based on security policies for ongoing operations or specific tasks for emergency deployments. Once a patch policy is defined, Marimba can automatically target machines that become eligible for patch distribution. Marimba's policy engine not only ensures the initial installation of the patch but also continually monitors the patch to ensure that it remains installed on the required endpoints. Additionally, with Marimba's Intelligent Patch Installer, administrators can target patch groups as opposed to individual patches to machines, users or groups of machines. Then, the Intelligent Patch Installer automatically identifies and pulls down relevant patches for a given endpoint.
