Strong alone, but better together

AdminStudio and Software Vulnerability Manager combined can deliver valuable operational advantages for organisations.

SVM and AdminStudio together provide the ultimate solution to leverage Flexera’s exhaustive coverage of application details, supporting more than 3,000 third-party software installers to help speed and automate the ability to get updates out quickly in the required format.

These two solutions help identify and prioritise what needs to be patched, so users can stay focused on the updates that will have the biggest impact on lowering risk.

Software Vulnerability Manager	AdminStudio
Provides out-of-the-box updates to quickly deploy Industry-leading security analysis to help prioritise vulnerabilities	Create custom deployment packages Insights that help lower the risk of deployment failure
Automatically publish software update packages to endpoint management systems

With the combination of SVM and AdminStudio users can:

And prioritise them for patching
For simple publishing as patches
With the least amount of risk
For vendors that don't provide what's needed for automated custom deployments

How Sigma can help:

We offer sales enablement so your team can easily spot and expand opportunities and make more margin. Our Business Development Manager will showcase what to look out for and when to get Sigma involved.
Our Services partner Cloud Know How offers demos for Flexera SVM and can support your customers with knowledge around implementing the solution.

Discovery questions for AdminStudio

1. Do you have an Application Readiness Process in place?

We use 'X'
Note: Most Application Readiness Solutions are not as comprehensive as AdminStudio.

2. What would happen if any (or all) of your applications stopped working?

It would be bad for business.

3. Would a comprehensive application packaging and deployment application help your business?

Yes it would
Note: AdminStudio is the right solution for them.

Discovery questions for SVM

1. How do you currently patch your software?

Patch Scanner

Manual process
Note: SVM can automate the patching process.

2. How demanding is that process? Does it take a long time? Do you patch all the software you need to, or do you just update the “most important” software?

We patch our “top Vendors” and that’s it.
Note: Only patching top vendors can lead to vulnerabilities that can be exploited. By automating the patching process with SVM, businesses are making sure they’re as secure as possible.

Follow-up points:

If you look at the top 20 vendor’s vulnerabilities, you will only address 20% of all exploits
99% of all exploits happen on known vulnerabilities – the issue has been disclosed by the vendor - so you may know the vulnerability is there, but it has not been fixed
86% of all vulnerabilities exploited had patches (a fix) out the same day they were published

If you feel like there is interest after asking these questions, set up a call with our Business Development Manager, Chris Beagle, to further explore the opportunity.
