Release information for VIPRE Site Manager, released on February 9, 2022.
Important
02/17/2022: Vulnerability and Patch Management is now available globally!
What's New
VIPRE is pleased to announce a major new paid add-on for VIPRE Endpoint Security delivered via VIPRE Site Manager which brings third-party application patching and vulnerability management to your clients' environments. Always a pain point and a source of risk for our customers, unpatched third-party applications can expose an attack surface that can be targeted to gain entry into customers' sensitive internal systems and networks. The new Vulnerability and Patch Management feature helps close that gap by making it easy to identify hundreds of third-party apps in your environment, understand what vulnerabilities are present in those apps, and allow you to easily patch those apps manually or automatically.
- Comprehensive third-party application scanning
- Vulnerability identification within third-party apps
- Risk rankings based on known severity of vulnerabilities
- Ability to easily patch applications to their most recent version
- Identify which vulnerabilities are closed by patching operations
