Frequently Asked Questions
What is co-term licensing?
Co-term licensing means that all licenses purchased under a single agreement share the same expiration date. This simplifies renewal management by consolidating all subscriptions into one annual renewal cycle.
How does patch management improve security?
Patch management addresses security vulnerabilities in software that attackers can exploit. By ensuring all systems are up-to-date with the latest patches, it significantly reduces the risk of breaches, malware infections, and data loss.
Can this service patch custom applications?
Bitdefender GravityZone Patch Management primarily focuses on operating systems and widely used third-party applications. Patching for highly custom or in-house developed applications may require separate management strategies.
