Agent Sara

Your Patch Tuesday Sidekick

Every month, major vendors release a wave of security patches and updates—known as Patch Tuesday. Managing this manually is time-consuming, from reviewing advisories to mapping CVEs to assets and planning remediation.

Agent Sara automates this entire process by tracking monthly Patch Tuesday vulnerabilities, assessing their impact on your environment, and delivering ready-to-execute remediation plans.

Why Agent Sara Matters

• Immediate Patch Tuesday Triage

    Know within minutes which assets are affected and what needs fixing first.

• Data-Driven Prioritization

     Get clear metrics on affected assets, critical findings, and remediation scope instead of guessing at impact.

• Ready-to-Execute Plans

     Receive exposure summaries, prioritization plans, and draft patch jobs prepared for human review and execution.

• Monthly Remediation Tracking

    Monitor progress throughout the month. Track what's fixed and what still needs work.

• Change Advisory Board and Change Justification

    Get leadership-ready summaries and impact analysis for board approvals and executive briefings.

Agent Sara never patches systems automatically. All patch jobs and remediation actions require human review and approval, ensuring you maintain full control and compliance with your change-control processes.
