Robinson Distribution extends security suite with Shavlik

Security threats get another blow with Shavlik and Robinson Distribution.


Pretoria, 01 Jul 2015

Robinson Distribution, a leader in business critical solutions, today announced it will be joining the Shavlik channel, to offer the leader in agentless patch management to its extensive partner and reseller network.

Shavlik's agentless patch management is an easy-to-use security software solution that discovers missing patches and deploys them to the entire organisation. Most organisations focus on patching servers with OS patches. Shavlik Protect goes beyond OS patching and adds third-party software update distribution, virtual infrastructure patching, and patch scanning for all the Windows systems on a network.

With the SCCM integration, Shavlik allows customers now to use their preferred console with Shavlik directly integrated to make it a one-stop solution to patch all software from a central point.

SCCM has a great base for delivering software and updates to all the workstations in the organisation. However, while Microsoft provides tools to distribute updates for the operating system and Microsoft applications, they lack functionality to automate the distribution of third-party application patches, causing IT headaches due to the amount of time staff must spend on third-party applications. Because of this, some IT organisations choose to ignore this patch management issue altogether. Shavlik Patch solves the problem by using the existing SCCM patch management infrastructure and console to deliver third-party patches. You can rely on proven Shavlik expertise to deliver patches for the most vulnerable software to your endpoints.

"We are proud to be associated with a product like Shavlik and we already seen the benefits it offered to existing customers. This was probably the easiest solution to install and get running from scratch, and I would suggest it to all our partners," said Dirk Robinson, Manager, Robinson Distribution.
