Patch management software

[Michael Antonakis]

Hello everyone and Happy new year,

Do you know of any software that helps you patch Cisco switches, routers, ASAs? An application which is like an asset management software, which informs you of any patches that Cisco has announced for your network devices, let's you download the patches and then it pushes those patches to you devices. Let's you schedule when to reload the devices for the patches to be applied, etc.

Is there any software that let's you do these things?

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Michael.

Cisco Prime 3.0 and above is the closest you will get to this , you could use MVM scanner with it to detect vulnerabilities but that doesn't push , prime can push software , it wont do it automatically but you can cut down the workload as it will identify anything effected , you must first make sure Prime is patched with latest CVE patches so it knows what the latest effected issues are from Cisco , MVM does not require this and is updated auto , between the 2 they work will for tracking all bugs etc , we use them in our network , they cost though but work
