Re: Critical/Security Updates as well as other Patch Management

[Vic Ricker <vic () sheetz com>]

We're evaluating some software from Patchlink 
(http://www.patchlink.com/) to manage our Windows environment.  From 
what I've seen of it, it looks very nice.  They have preliminary support 
for Solaris and Redhat as well, but we haven't gone there yet.  I still 
use red-carpet (http://www.ximian.com/products/redcarpet/) under Linux.

We're also subscribed to Meta Security Group's Command Center.  They 
keep track of security alerts for a wide range of software packages and 
notify you when any of the alerts match your profile.   It also has some 
features for policy management.  I'm not sure that we're getting much 
value from it yet, since I get the same alerts from other free sources.

HTH.

Take care,
-Vic
