01
Discover inventory
Scan devices and applications to see available operating-system and application updates, along with identified vulnerabilities.
Outcome: Update and vulnerability list

Xcitium offering
Patch Management
Operating system and application patch control. Patches are scheduled against inventory and policy; missing updates can be tracked and deployed to selected device groups.
Discuss your requirements ↗The interface places device groups alongside patch records. Operating-system and third-party application sections help distinguish patching scopes.
Patch workflow
Manage patches by risk and policy
Connect operating-system and application updates to inventory and risk visibility. Policy guides the rollout of selected patches and the checks that follow.
02
Set policy
Prioritize patches by risk, then choose target groups, approvals, and rollout rules according to organizational policy.
Outcome: Priorities and rollout policy
03
Roll out in stages
Deploy approved updates to selected devices under policy and scheduled windows; check support for each applicable patch first.
Outcome: Updates deployed to devices
04
Verify and remediate
Track patch status in the console, investigate failed installations, and use rollback only when the patch supports it.
Outcome: Verified status and exceptions

Capabilities
Capabilities with a specific purpose
OS and application patch scanning
Xcitium scans for required updates and deploys patches to managed devices and systems. Confirm the supported OSs, applications, and patch types before rollout.
Risk-based prioritization
Xcitium identifies vulnerabilities and prioritizes patches by risk. Clarify how CVEs, exploitability, and asset criticality inform the model.
Patch status and compliance monitoring
Patch status and compliance are monitored across infrastructure. Track missing updates and deployment failures by owner, device group, and maintenance window to close the remediation loop.
Centralized policies and console
Patch operations across devices and systems are managed through a central console; custom policies can reflect organizational security and compliance requirements. Align approvals and reboot decisions with the change owner.
Rollback and recovery
Xcitium provides rollback for problematic patches. Define rollback criteria, affected devices, backup dependencies, and retry windows in advance.
Compare approaches
Patch program control and RMM
| Consideration | Patch Management | RMM |
|---|---|---|
| Primary question | Which patch is missing, how risky is it, and when should it be deployed? | Which endpoints are healthy, and which IT operations are needed? |
| Core workflow | Scan, risk priority, policy, deployment, and rollback. | Monitoring, remote troubleshooting, automation, and asset management. |
| Governance criterion | Patch group, maintenance window, testing, and rollback. | Device ownership, access permissions, and support workflow. |
| Working together | Manages patch compliance and remediation policy. | Supports device health monitoring and remote tasks. |
Before you start
Bound a patch pilot
Select a small set of representative servers and workstations. Agree on risk and a pilot ring first, then validate deployment, compliance reporting, and rollback.
- 01
Which OSs, applications, versions, and update channels are covered?
- 02
Who owns risk priority and emergency patch approval?
- 03
How are reboots and maintenance windows coordinated with service owners?
- 04
How are failed patches detected, rolled back, and rescheduled?
Evidence for your evaluation
In practice
Reducing patch backlog
An IT team needs to see missing operating system and application updates across device groups and rank them by risk. Rollout is staged around testing and maintenance windows.
What your team gains
- 01
Centralized control of operating system and application updates.
- 02
A risk-ranked view of vulnerabilities and patches.
- 03
Patch status, policy compliance, and reporting.
Before you decide
Questions, answered
What does Patch Management update?
Xcitium scans for and deploys patches for operating systems and applications. Set coverage for specific OSs, software titles, and update types in the deployment plan.
How are patches prioritized?
Xcitium identifies vulnerabilities and prioritizes patches by risk. Align risk-scoring inputs and emergency escalation with the IT change process.
Can a problematic update be rolled back?
Available features include rollback capability. Validate rollback criteria, backup requirements, affected devices, and the rescheduling window in advance.
