Vulnerabilities in applications pose a threat to businesses as they may be used to bypass a computer’s antivirus protection and infect the entire corporate network. In 2012, Kaspersky Lab found more than 11 million users had at least one vulnerable application on their computers.
More than 800 new and already known vulnerabilities were found in legitimate applications such as Adobe Reader, Flash, Oracle Java, etc. This clearly demonstrates that high-quality software management systems are every bit as important as solutions that protect against malicious attacks.
Related to this finding, Kaspersky has announced that its Systems Management has secured first place in the recent Patch Management Solutions Test conducted by the independent laboratory AV-TEST.
Timely updates of software on workstations, along with the use of protection solutions, are crucial to a high level of security for any company’s IT infrastructure. We provide reliable protection against all kinds of cyber-threats and offer IT specialists effective tools to administer corporate software. Tests by independent labs such as AV-TEST demonstrate just how well we have developed our technologies, stated Nikolay Grebennikov, Kaspersky Lab’s CTO.
Kaspersky Systems Management solution supported more applications, detected 98% of the outdated software that was supported, and successfully installed every update and blocked all add-ons.
