Featuring Shalvik’s exclusive PatchPush, HFNetChkPro is the easiest way to manage security patches on your network, keeping your network safe. You no longer need to walk to each computer to install patches, or track security patches by hand. HFNetChkPro does this job for you, providing significant time savings in dealing with the large number of security patches system administrators must manage.
It’s easy. Just install HFNetChkPro once, instead of installing agents over and over. And in just minutes this automated, real-time, patch management tool scans your entire network for vulnerabilities right from your desktop, freeing you up to focus on other security and administrative issues.
Built on the industry standard HFNetChk, it is the automated, real-time, patch management tool that helps you quickly eliminate security risks associated with un-patched computers. Used worldwide by corporations including Microsoft, educational institutions, government agencies, and others to assure proper security patch management.
Accurately identify missing patches on your network using HFNetChkPro’s leading discovery engine, providing you with the most secure and robust patch inspection solution in the industry. HFNetChkPro allows you to precisely review, manage and report on the patch state of your network using up-to-the minute patch information.
Remotely update computers with patches from your desktop with the ease of a few mouse clicks. HFNetChkPro enables you to remotely install the patches you determine as necessary for your unique environment. You can install patches one at a time, or in groups, to one or many computers at a time.
The HfnetchkPro tool uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file that contains information about which hotfixes are available for each product. The XML file contains security bulletin name and title, and detailed data about product-specific security hotfixes, including: files in each HotFix package and their file versions and checksums, registry keys that were applied by the HotFix installation package, information about which patches supersede which other patches, related Microsoft Knowledge Base article numbers, and much more.
