Panda Patch Management (Updating vulnerable programs)

Automatically and centrally update the programs installed on devices, preventing malware from exploiting software errors to compromise device security and minimizing the attack surface.

Panda Patch Management is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. It detects third-party applications pending updates or in End-of-Life (EoL) phase, including patches and updates released by Microsoft for its products.

For a complete list of third-party applications supported by Patch Management, see https://info.pandasecurity.com/patchmanagementapp/?type=windows.
