2. Patch Management and Automatic Security Assessment of Systems
Like any company, YB’s systems are exposed to a wide range of threats daily. Emails are received, web addresses are accessed, and software is installed while servers handle requests around the clock. An important component for secure operation is keeping installed software up to date and maintaining an easy overview of the current status of systems. This is exactly where Backup ONE with Acronis Cyber Protect comes in: In a secure, web-based management console, overviews of the system landscape can be created, patches can be rolled out, and vulnerability assessments can be viewed in real-time. This makes operating a complex IT environment manageable and plannable.
