Abstract

The present invention discloses a console for an enterprise suite. This enterprise suite addresses the growing complexity of keeping critical systems updated, compliant and free from security breaches. It uses FixletR technology to identify vulnerable computers on the network, and then allows authorized personnel to fix problems across any subset of the network with a simple mouse click. The enterprise suite helps to keep all networked computers updated and properly patched from a central console which, along with auxiliary structural enhancements, is the subject of this specification. The invention allows security patches to be rolled out in minutes rather than months, thus allowing administrators to stay ahead of potential hacking attacks. The present invention also enables tracking of each computer's progress as updates are applied, thereby enabling simple measurement of compliance levels across the enterprise.
