The nice thing about EPM (mobile automation) is that it can manage your updates and rollouts before they vpn into your network. Just drop the box into your DMZ and you're good to go.
Let iPass Help Protect You From The Zotob Worm
Enterprises with unpatched Windows 2000 systems are fully aware by now of the risk they face from Zotob and other malicious code that capitalizes on the recently disclosed Microsoft "Plug and Play" vulnerability. Within days of the vulnerability being announced by Microsoft on August 9, this worm and a number of variants had already wreaked havoc on the operations of well-known corporations such as VISA, General Electric, and CNN, and more attacks are expected.
With the "exploit cycle" now dropping from weeks to days, it should be clear that patching systems quickly, and across the entire company, has become a business imperative. This is especially true for enterprises with large populations of occasionally connected remote and mobile systems that are difficult to update and rarely come back to the LAN. And most systems management solutions were designed with only the LAN in mind. So how does IT close this enforcement gap?
iPass has the answer, it's the Endpoint Policy Management™—Online service.
