To me, "automated patch management" is a means for automating the
process of applying patches and updates to multiple (or a single)
systems. It can also include an automated means for knowing a patch
exists, downloading, and installing the patch(es). You can get a bit
more info from TechTarget.com: http://tinyurl.com/5zbzx

Whenever someone mentions "universal enforecement", I think of Sygate.
(I they even trademarked the term. I first heard it in mass use from
them.) A quick search on their website proved useful:
http://www.sygate.com/products/universal_enforcement.htm I've always
understood the term to mean "full, adaptable security coverage in any
environment". Check out the link above for more info.

Still want more information? As always, Google (http://www.google.com)
is your friend. ;) (See: http://google.youaremyfriend.com )

Since I am fairly new to some of the new definition in Security.  I figure
this would be the place to ask.  What does automated patch management mean
or universal enforcement mean?
