Patch and Vulnerability Management

Proactively Secure Your IT Environment

In today’s threat landscape, unpatched systems are the entry point for the majority of cyberattacks. Security vulnerabilities in operating systems, software, and applications are discovered daily and when left unresolved, they become a golden opportunity for attackers. That’s why Patch & Vulnerability Management is a core pillar of any cybersecurity strategy and a mandatory requirement under frameworks like the CSA Cyber Essentials.

At Viperlink, we offer an intelligent, automated approach to patching and vulnerability control, backed by proactive threat detection, integrated backups, and real-time asset visibility. Our service ensures your endpoints, servers, and cloud assets are kept secure, resilient, and compliant—without interrupting your operations.

Features

Vulnerability Scanning

We run persistent scans across your network endpoints and servers to identify missing security updates, software bugs, configuration weaknesses, and out-of-date third-party applications. You receive clear visibility into your patch compliance posture across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments

Automated Patch Deployment

Our system leverages smart automation to schedule, test, and deploy critical security patches for operating systems, productivity suites, and third-party software like browsers, PDF tools, Java runtimes, and more. We ensure patches are rolled out based on risk level and operational impact—minimising disruption while maximising protection.

Risk-Based Prioritisation

Not every vulnerability is equal. We classify findings based on CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) severity, exploit availability, and exposure to the internet. This enables prioritised patching for high-risk threats that pose immediate danger to your operations or compliance obligations.

Backup and Rollback Assurance

Before every major patch update, our service takes a secure backup snapshot of the affected system. In the rare case of application conflicts or system errors, we can quickly roll back to a known-good state—ensuring business continuity and resilience.

Why Patch Management Is Business-Critical

Every year, thousands of software vulnerabilities are published in global databases like CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). Attackers actively scan for systems that haven’t applied the latest patches, because the success rate is high, and the effort is low.

In fact:

60% of data breaches are linked to known but unpatched vulnerabilities.
Exploits for critical flaws can be weaponised within days of disclosure.
Manual patching processes often result in delays, missed assets, or configuration errors.

Our Patch & Vulnerability Management service addresses these risks by providing continuous visibility, rapid deployment of patches, and automated remediation workflows. With Viperlink managing your patch lifecycle, you stay ahead of threats and reduce your attack surface substantially.

Benefits to Your Organisation

Reduce Cyber Risk

Unpatched software is a top attack vector. Our service drastically reduces this exposure window by ensuring critical vulnerabilities are remediated swiftly—before bad actors can exploit them.

Save Time and Resources

Manual patching is labour-intensive and error-prone. With automation and centralised control, your IT team is freed from tedious tasks and can focus on higher-value initiatives.

Strengthen Compliance Posture

Cybersecurity frameworks like CSA Cyber Essentials, PDPA, ISO 27001, and GDPR all emphasise secure configurations and up-to-date systems. Our patch management platform helps you meet these controls with verifiable audit trails.

Make Data-Driven Decisions

With consolidated vulnerability intelligence, asset health scores, and compliance status reports, your business leaders and IT managers get the visibility they need to act decisively.

Patch Management and CSA Cyber Essentials

The Cyber Essentials framework from Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency (CSA) outlines fundamental cybersecurity hygiene practices for businesses. One of the key control areas is:

“Keeping systems and applications up-to-date with the latest security patches”

Prevents exploitation of known threats.

If a vulnerability is public, attackers are already scanning for targets. Delayed patching means unnecessary exposure.

Reflects operational discipline.

Organisations that patch regularly are more likely to manage other controls well, like access, backups, and incident response.

Demonstrates accountability

Audit-ready patch logs are required to show due diligence in system maintenance.

Supports business continuity

Systems running on outdated software are more likely to fail or become inoperable after a cyber event.
