Yes. Panda Patch Management covers both Windows OS patches (including cumulative updates, security patches, and service packs) and third-party application patches for more than 500 commonly used applications. Third-party app coverage includes browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, as well as Adobe products, Java, compression tools, VPN clients, and many others. The full supported application list is available from your Firewalls.com specialist.

Yes. Panda Patch Management supports phased deployment by allowing you to deploy patches to a selected group of test devices first. Once you confirm the patches applied successfully and have not caused any issues, you can approve the broader deployment to production device groups. This staged approach reduces the risk of a bad patch disrupting operations across your entire fleet at once.

When a device is offline during a scheduled patch window, Panda Patch Management queues the pending patches and deploys them the next time the device comes online and connects to the Aether platform. You can configure retry behavior and set an expiration for how long a queued patch remains active, ensuring that devices that rejoin the network after an extended absence are brought into compliance automatically.

Panda Patch Management is an add-on that works with Panda Systems Management or as part of a Fusion or Fusion 360 bundle. It uses the Aether agent already deployed for IT management functions, so no additional agent is required. However, it does require an active Panda Systems Management or compatible bundle subscription as the foundation for device enrollment and management.

Yes. Panda Patch Management generates detailed reports showing which patches were applied, to which devices, and when. These reports can be exported and used as audit evidence for compliance frameworks including PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST, and ISO 27001, all of which require organizations to demonstrate that known vulnerabilities are remediated within defined timeframes. Reports can be scheduled to run and export automatically on a recurring basis.
