Frequently Asked Questions
What is co-termination for government contracts?
Co-termination means that multiple licenses or subscriptions are set to expire on the same date, simplifying renewal management. For government contracts, this often aligns with fiscal year end or specific procurement cycles.
How does this product differ from basic antivirus?
While antivirus protects against known malware, patch management addresses vulnerabilities in the software itself that malware can exploit. It's a proactive security layer that prevents attacks by keeping systems updated.
Can this service patch custom or in-house applications?
This service primarily focuses on patching operating systems and widely used third-party applications. Patching custom or in-house applications typically requires custom scripting or specialized deployment tools.
