Security Patch Check is a tool that analyzes the currency of a system with respect to security bulletins. It recommends actions for security vulnerabilities that have not been fixed by previously performed patches, updates, removals, or, where logged by the user, manual actions. The actions might include updates, software removals, or manual actions. Use of the Security Patch Check software tool can help efficiently improve system security, but does not guarantee system security.

Features and benefits of Security Patch Check include:

Generates a report of recommended security actions which are applicable and not installed or applied
Helps automate the process of checking for security patches, updates or manual actions missing from a system
Warns about patches with warnings that are present on the system being analyzed.
Integrates with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) by enabling you to get the patch catalog and to run Security Patch Check.

To access the Security Patch Check features within HP SIM, select ConfigureSecurity.
