Patchman is installed as an agent on your server which scans your websites and reports any vulnerabilities back to the path man portal.

What is the work process of Patchman?

[Elliott]

The work process of Patchman is as follows:

1. When a vulnerability is discovered, the client is notified and given instructions on how to remedy the problem.

2. If the issue is not fixed after two days, the customer is reminded.

3. If the issue has not been rectified within 3 days, the vulnerability is automatically patched and the client is notified.

Some of the disadvantages are:

a) Consume server resources.

b) The cost of a server licence

c) A control panel is required (cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin)

d) Starting a vulnerability and malware scan takes less than 60 seconds.

e) There is no real-time vulnerability protection.
