Automated Predeployment Testing of Windows Applications

New Rimo3 Patch360: Uniquely Validated Application Patch Management 

Written by James Graham, PhD | Sep 10, 2024 9:00:00 AM

Rimo3 is proud to announce our newest module, Patch360, available today.  Patch360 validates application patches against your contextual environment and automates patch management, which means your users have the latest and most secure versions of common Windows applications.    

By integrating with public repositories and working with key independent software vendors, Patch360 onboards patches directly from validated third party application catalogs, then automates the discovery and validation of those applications in your specific environment, not an out-of-the-box generic environment. Enterprises can efficiently manage commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications by leveraging intelligent automation.    

Once an application runs through the automated pipeline, the latest versions of your applications will be Rimo3 validated in your environment, ready to be delivered with confidence. To take it one step further, Patch 360 can also certify the application and hand it off to a modern endpoint management solution, like Microsoft Intune or Nerdio Manager for Enterprise. 

Uniquely Validating the Impact of Enterprise Patch Management  

Application updates are now a frequent event due to constant security vulnerabilities and the high pace of innovation.  Enterprises are challenged to keep up to date with new versions of common applications due to frequent patches or feature updates.  Just as importantly, enterprises are struggling to ensure that less secure versions of the same applications can programmatically reach end–of-life and taken out of circulation to minimize the risk of vulnerability exploitation.  But enterprise IT can reduce time, cost and manual tasks in locating and validating patches with Patch360 intelligent automation.  

The new Patch360 has three distinctive differentiators from other patching products in the market. 

  • Patch360 incorporates comprehensive third-party application catalogs to manage versions and releases for common Windows applications. The Patch360 catalog has over 25,000 applications and installers.  Browse or search to view the details of each application and then select the version you want to import into your Rimo3 Workspace360 environment. Path360 gives you the flexibility to choose if you want to automatically download updates or selectively choose new versions. 

  • Applications you select from Patch360 are automatically downloaded and imported into your Rimo3 Workspace360 environment. Easily understand the construct and behavior of the application in your environment.  After downloading, you can choose to modernize the application to Intune Win32, MSIX, Omnissa App Volumes or Liquidware FlexApp One, then export it to modern management, such as Microsoft Intune. Patch360 provides the options you need to deliver the application across physical, virtual, and cloud workspaces.  

  • After packaging, Patch360 validates applications using contextual relevance for your specific environment, verifying successful results after patching.  Only Rimo3 Patch360 validates against your specific custom environment, your applications and your workspace.  In complex enterprise deployments, there is no such thing as “plain vanilla” – you need to understand the impact of change before you make the change 

 

Changing Patch Management with Application Intelligence and Integration 

In the enterprise world today, you need help reducing the risk of vulnerabilities by automatically keeping applications up to date, intelligently preparing and validating the applications against the enterprise’s custom environments, then delivering the applications, often with no human intervention. Launching with over 24,000+ applications, no other patching option on the market today covers this complete application patching and management process.
