ICS Integrity can use the latest Microsoft patch data and compare each patch against the data collected by the PAS Recon asset model about your assets to identify which patches apply to each computer. This process determines the list of patches that need to be applied to monitored assets. ICS Integrity also lists all patches that have been imported, assessed, and the number of assets that have the patch applied or not.

Since applying patches to assets can also impact other vendor products, ICS Integrity provides a comprehensive patch management process with integrated workflow definitions for testing patches before implementing them in your environment. For more information about this process, see Understanding Patch Management and Performing Patch Management.

This section gives you an additional view of the Microsoft bulletins and patches, and the overall status of their implementation throughout your environment. This overview can help you identify possible issues, such as old patches that are not approved by vendors and computers with a large number of patches to apply. This overview can also help you identify computers that need to be patched and do not have other products that would be impacted.

To display the Microsoft Patch Evaluation window, on the ICS Integrity navigation bar, click Patches > MS Patch Evaluation. The Microsoft Patch Evaluation window allows you to show the view by Computer or by Microsoft Bulletin.
