How does ALM transform overlooked tools into a source of reliability and efficiency? Automating updates for third-party apps can dramatically reduce IT security risks and boost compliance.
Modern IT environments are usually complex. Applications like browsers, PDF readers, and utilities, eventhough they might seem minor, can introduce vulnerabilities if not regularly patched. Manual updates are time-consuming and error-prone, especially across large server estates. ALM solves this by automating the lifecycle of these applications, reducing risk and freeing up your IT teams.
ALM targets a specific layer of your IT environment: independent, non-customized applications that aren’t tied to operating systems, middleware, or business solutions. Think Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Adobe Reader, Notepad++, 7-Zip, PuTTY, WinSCP, and Wireshark—tools that are widely used but often overlooked in patching strategies.
With ALM, updates are applied silently, without reboots, and scheduled to avoid conflicts with OS patching windows. This means your environment stays secure without disrupting operations.
Based on our operational experience, implementing ALM typically results in a 71% reduction in known vulnerabilities during the first update cycle. This significant drop is achieved by automating updates for commonly used third-party applications, which are often overlooked in manual patching processes. The result is a more secure, compliant, and resilient IT environment—without adding workload to your teams, which is a common misconception.
Unlike traditional patching services, ALM focuses on the “forgotten layer” of IT—utilities and tools that often slip through the cracks. It’s not just about updates; it’s about proactive risk management and invisible reliability.
Let automation do the work and benefit your business. With ALM, your applications are always secure, always current, and always optimized.
