Vulnerability scans can be scheduled so that scanning is implemented on an ongoing basis without user intervention.

Automatically collects new vulnerability updates, and patches directly from vendor sources, such as a vendor's web-based patch depository. Updates can be acquired outside the firewall and imported into the patch repository in infrastructures where firewall policies prevent http and ftp downloads. Users can schedule the download of vulnerability and patch updates at a frequency of their choosing.

Schedulable deployment, schedulable reboots after deployment, and checkpoint-restarts ensure that patches are deployed with minimal impact on network resources, and allow patches to be managed from a central point.

Unique desired-state management automatically and continuously ensures that patches remain applied in their proper state. If patches are corrupted in any way, they are automatically reinstalled to bring the system to the desired level of patches.
