Can Lansweeper identify missing updates?

[Riley · Accepted solution]

Yes, Lansweeper can indeed help identify missing updates. The method varies depending on whether you use Lansweeper On-premise or Lansweeper Sites.

• Lansweeper On-premise: You can leverage the power of custom reports to identify missing updates. For instance, our Vulnerability Audit Reports and Patch Tuesday Reports are designed to help you track and manage updates effectively. These reports provide detailed insights into the update status of your assets, helping you identify any missing patches or updates.

• Lansweeper Sites: Missing updates can be identified by examining the active vulnerabilities in your system. We offer a Fixed Version section in the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) details. This section provides information about the patched version of the software, helping you identify if you’re running a version with known vulnerabilities. You can read more about our Vulnerability Risk Assessment feature on our knowledgebase, which provides a comprehensive overview of how Lansweeper Cloud can help manage and mitigate risks associated with software vulnerabilities.

Remember, staying updated is crucial for maintaining the security and performance of your IT assets. Lansweeper provides robust tools to help you monitor updates and vulnerabilities.
