Patch Management Software for Fleet-Wide Compliance

Infronest patch management keeps your entire device fleet secure and up to date from one console. It automatically discovers missing patches, lets you approve exactly what gets installed, deploys updates on your schedule, and proves compliance — across Windows, macOS, and Linux. It lives inside the unified Infronest platform, so patching sits beside your device management, assets, and tickets rather than in a separate tool with its own login.

Patch Management is a standalone, separately-sellable module, enabled per tenant by the platform Owner.

Why teams patch with Infronest
  • One agent, every OS. A single lightweight agent patches Windows, macOS, and Linux — using each system’s native update mechanism.
  • Standalone by design. Patch management runs on its own, with no dependency on MDM or RMM. The agent is outbound-only, so no inbound firewall changes are needed.
  • Approve, then deploy. Review detected patches, approve or exclude them, and roll out on your schedule with maintenance windows and controlled reboots.
  • Prove compliance. Real-time compliance dashboards and exportable CSV / PDF reports show exactly which devices are up to date.
  • Tenant-isolated and audited. Devices, patches, and deployments are scoped per organization, and every action is written to an audit trail.

Why Unpatched Endpoints Force Patch Management Software

Most breaches start with something already known and already fixable — a missing update. Across a mixed fleet of Windows, macOS, and Linux machines, patching by hand does not scale: nobody has a live view of what is missing, security updates lag for weeks, and a single overlooked endpoint becomes the way in. IT and security teams feel this exposure constantly, so the goal is automatic discovery, controlled rollout, and provable compliance — not a spreadsheet of guesses.

  • No one has a live view of missing patches, so compliance is a hope rather than a fact.
  • Security updates lag because approving and deploying them by hand is slow and manual.
  • Mixed Windows, macOS, and Linux fleets each need a different tool, multiplying blind spots.
  • Forced reboots and untimed rollouts disrupt users, so patching gets deferred and risk piles up.

What the Patch Management Module Does

Patch management in Infronest covers discovery through to deployment and reporting, each scoped to your tenant.

Cross-platform patching. One agent for Windows, macOS, and Linux (apt, dnf, yum, zypper), using native OS update mechanisms — Windows Update Agent, softwareupdate, and package managers.
Automated discovery. Scheduled fleet scans plus on-demand “Scan now” detect missing patches, with severity and security-vs-OS classification.
Approval workflow. Approve, exclude, or reset patches individually or in bulk, with an org-level require-approval switch and auto-approve-by-severity rules.
Flexible deployments. Target all or selected devices, filter by OS and severity or pin explicit patches, and run immediately, on a schedule, or in a recurring daily maintenance window with optional auto-reboot.
Compliance reporting. Real-time compliance percentage, non-compliant device list, and top missing patches — exportable to CSV and PDF for audit and procurement.
Fleet and agent management. Self-enrolling installers per OS, OS-restricted and usage-capped enrollment tokens, device retire with token revocation, and online / offline tracking.

How Patch Deployment Works End to End

The agent polls the server over HTTPS and picks up work on its next check-in — the server never connects into your endpoints. Enroll a device with a one-click installer, let it scan, approve what you want, build a deployment, and the agent installs the approved patches with native tooling and reports per-patch results.

Enroll. Download the OS installer or mint a token; the agent installs as a system service and registers the device.
Scan. The agent reports all pending patches; configured severities can auto-approve on ingest.
Approve. Review and approve or exclude patches from the catalog, or let policy do it automatically.
Deploy. Pick targets, filters, schedule or maintenance window, and auto-reboot; the server queues per-device install commands.
Verify and report. Device detail live-updates, deployments complete, and compliance reports confirm the fleet is current.

Frequently Asked Questions

Windows, macOS, and Linux (amd64 and arm64). It uses each system’s native update mechanism — the Windows Update Agent on Windows, softwareupdate on macOS, and apt, dnf, yum, or zypper on Linux.
No. Patch Management is fully standalone with its own agent and enrollment. A patch-only tenant can run with MDM and RMM disabled entirely.
Yes. Deployments support immediate rollout, a fixed schedule, or a recurring daily maintenance window in your timezone, with optional auto-reboot that only fires when a reboot is actually required.
Yes. A real-time dashboard shows compliance percentage, non-compliant devices, and top missing patches, and per-device compliance reports export to CSV and PDF.
The agent is outbound-only — it polls the server and never accepts inbound connections. Each device authenticates with its own token, data is isolated per organization, and every enroll, approval, deployment, and install is audited.
