Shrink exploit windows, slash MTTP: Why ring deployment is now a must for enterprise defense
- Unpatched systems pose a significant risk, with many breaches being preventable through available patches, according to cyberattack victims.
- Organizations take 43 days on average to detect cyberattacks after a patch is released, leading to increased vulnerability exploitation by attackers.
- Manual or partially automated patching processes are burdensome, pushing patching down on teams' priority lists.
- Legacy vulnerabilities are aggressively exploited by attackers, with some vulnerabilities being over a decade old.
- Misalignment between IT and security teams delays patching, with many lacking cohesive patch strategies and disagreeing on patch schedules.
- Ring deployment offers a phased, automated strategy to minimize breach risks and reduce disruptions in patch management.
- Ivanti's ring deployment provides greater control over patch deployment, aiming to address patching issues early and minimize risks.
- Combining ring deployment with dynamic VRR technology reduces Mean-Time-to-Patch (MTTP) and exposure windows for attackers.
- Patching must be complemented with compensating controls like EPP and network segmentation to reinforce security beyond basic patching.
- Ivanti Neurons for Patch Management integrates risk assessments, ring deployments, and automated workflows to enhance enterprise patch management.
- Integrating ring deployment with compensating controls transforms patch management into a strategic advantage, improving cyber risk management.
