Lywand, provider of automated security audits for MSSPs and their SME customers, is now making the patch management process easier for IT service providers: the Security Cockpit, a new function within the lywand platform, summarizes the most urgent security issues and required measures across all customers in an overview. This makes it easier for MSSPs to prioritize tasks, deploy their resources in a more targeted manner and increase the level of security across all of their customers.
Lywand's Security Cockpit provides MSSPs with an overarching perspective of the security situation of all their customers. It aggregates the results from individual customer security checks and creates an overall picture.
The Functions Include:
A cross-customer analysis that helps to identify security issues that exist in multiple customer environments.
A list of the most urgent actions with the greatest security impact
Action guides for technical staff with detailed step-by-step instructions
The Security Cockpit is an additional display that is available to all technicians at the same time as the customer-specific security reports. This enables all technical staff to compare the customer-specific measures displayed with the generally most important measures. By keeping an eye on the essentials and prioritizing tasks more easily, MSSPs can approach their patch management in a strategically targeted manner and improve it sustainably.
The Security Cockpit maps the security measures with the greatest impact on the customer's overall security situation. This ensures that all technical employees work towards a common goal instead of getting lost in detailed tasks with only a selective security effect for individual customers.
In many cases, it is not individual errors that affect patch management, but suboptimal processes, unreliable automation or system settings that delay the installation of new updates. The Security Cockpit helps MSSPs to identify and eliminate common error patterns.
This Offers Several Advantages:
Building a coherent security strategy: By integrating all customers into the lywand platform, recommendations for action with cross-customer relevance can be identified and implemented from a wealth of individual customer measures.
Comprehensive patch coverage and sustainable cross-customer improvement of the security situation: The Security Cockpit provides MSSPs with targeted support in optimizing patch management - enabling them to strengthen the overall IT security of their customers and offer the best possible added value.
More agility in day-to-day operations and a continuously high level of security: The overview provided by the Security Cockpit enables MSSPs to react much faster to new serious security vulnerabilities in their day-to-day operations and maintain a high level of security on a permanent basis.
The Security Cockpit is now available for all users of the lywand platform.
