Digital threats wait for no one. This is what the cycle of a critical vulnerability looks like today:
Timeline of a digital threat
1. A new critical vulnerability is detected in a widely used application.
2. Hours later, methods and tools developed by cybercriminals to exploit it are already circulating.
3. In less than 48 hours, the first attacks are already underway.
And if your infrastructure doesn't have an agile and effective process for closing those gaps through updates, you're leaving the door open to attackers.
Every hour without applying a patch is an opportunity for a threat to become real.
Automating patch management reduces risk, improves response speed, and protects your systems before it's too late.
In cybersecurity, the difference between being protected and suffering an attack can be a matter of hours.
48 hours: the new margin for maneuver
The time available to act on critical vulnerabilities is becoming increasingly shorter.
It's not enough to just apply updates: you have to do it quickly, accurately, and without relying on manual processes.
Is your organization prepared to respond in less than 48 hours?
To achieve this, three fundamental capabilities are needed:
- Have complete visibility of all devices that need to be protected
- Identify and prioritize intelligently to know what to address first
- Having automated tools that allow patches to be applied even to computers that are not connected to the network
Why is timely patching still a challenge?
Today, many IT environments are designed to offer flexibility, but patching in a timely manner is not easy. Many IT environments are designed to be flexible, but not to react quickly to security threats. There are computers that go days without connecting to the network, users who work from home or on the go, older systems that require manual updates, different versions of software running at the same time, and, in many cases, a lack of a clear update policy. All of this makes it difficult to keep systems protected.
In this scenario, continuing to use traditional patching methods not only slows down the response to risks, but also makes protection against increasingly rapid threats unsustainable.
The patching functionality included in Aranda Device Management (ADM) is designed to reduce risk without increasing operational overhead.
With ADM, you can:
- Automatically detect outdated equipment
- Prioritize patches based on criticality, user type, or device
- Schedule silent deployments at defined times
- Automate distribution in hybrid environments
- Get clear reports on compliance and gaps
And it's not just about operating system patches. ADM also supports third-party applications, including productivity tools and specialized software.
Your attack surface does not reduce itself
With threats constantly growing and spreading rapidly, waiting to act is no longer an option. Reactive patching means living with open vulnerabilities, leaving your infrastructure exposed at all times. Without automation and clear priorities, the update process becomes slow, manual, and difficult to scale.
With ADM, patching is no longer a burden—it becomes an advantage. By automating and centralizing patch management, you can close gaps faster, reduce risk, and free up your IT team to focus on strategic tasks.
The result: greater safety, less exposure, and much more efficient operation.
