Stay Secure Without Slowing Down

Keeping operating systems and applications patched strengthens security, supports endpoint compliance, and keeps employees productive. ControlUp makes it continuous: vulnerabilities are found and remediated automatically across every endpoint, on the schedule IT sets.

Scan, Prioritize, Patch, Prove

With built-in vulnerability and patch management, endpoints are continuously scanned wherever they connect. Severity, usage, and device counts show what matters most; the templates you define patch it on your schedule, and every action is logged for audit.

Every Windows Endpoint Current, Wherever It Works

OS patching shouldn’t depend on whether a laptop is on the corporate network. ControlUp scans for and applies Windows patches automatically wherever the device connects, keeps the fleet on consistent builds, and shows OS versions, remediation status, and exposure severity at a glance. The laptop on a kitchen table gets patched on the same schedule as the desktop in the office.

Close Application Vulnerabilities Before They're Exploited

Third-party apps are where most exposure hides, and they rarely patch themselves on your schedule. ControlUp scans installed applications against thousands of known vulnerabilities in real time and shows you each one’s severity, how widely the app is used, and how many devices run a vulnerable version. Then it remediates. Version standardization automatically brings every endpoint to the same build, shrinking the attack surface and simplifying support in one move.

Complete the Fix Before the Vendor Does

Vendors take time to fix vulnerabilities, and sometimes your team gets there first. Alongside the built-in catalog, you can create custom scans and remediations for anything it doesn’t cover, and attach your own remediation and validation scripts to built-in scans that complete without a fix. Your exposure window closes on your timeline, not the vendor’s.

Automated by Default, Manual When It Counts

Most patching should run on autopilot, but a zero-day shouldn’t wait for the next scheduled window. Remediation templates apply fixes fleet-wide on the schedule your compliance standards require. Manual, real-time remediation lets you target a single group or device the moment a critical exploit lands. Reboots happen when you decide, and employees get a custom heads-up first, so security never ambushes the workday.

FAQs
Does ControlUp patch third-party applications as well as Windows?
Yes. ControlUp scans and remediates vulnerabilities in installed third-party applications and in the Windows operating system. It also standardizes application versions across the fleet, so every endpoint runs the same, current build.
How does ControlUp prioritize which vulnerabilities to fix first?
Each vulnerability shows its severity, how widely the affected application is used, and how many devices run a vulnerable version. IT uses that context to set remediation templates that fix the highest-risk exposures first.
Can patches deploy automatically without disrupting employees?
Yes. Remediation runs on schedules IT configures, and employees receive custom notifications before any remediation or reboot. IT controls when reboots happen, so patching fits around the workday.
How does ControlUp’s vulnerability and patch management tool handle zero-day vulnerabilities?
IT can run scans and remediation manually, in real time, across every endpoint or a targeted group. If the vendor hasn't shipped a fix yet, IT can deploy a custom remediation script.
Does vulnerability patching work for remote and hybrid devices?
Yes. Scanning and patching run wherever the endpoint connects, in the office or on a home network.
