Patch Assessment gets it wrong?

Fairport

How does Sophos Patch Assessment (SPA) decide which patches are actually needed by a device?

We usually rely on WSUS to push out Microsoft updates. When SPA told us there were a bunch of Microsoft updates still rerquired by our PC's we took it at its word and have been rolling them out manually. Still no idea why WSUS should have missed them though :^\

On the other hand there's a Microsoft update that SPA claims a bunch of our PC's need - but Windows Update says this particular update isn't needed by those PC's - why should that be? o_O

    Hi there,

    Sophos Patch cannot tell you whether or not a patch is required rather it informs you which patches are missing. The decision to patch or not is entirely down to you.

    WSUS is configured by yourself and again the decision to deploy patches is taken locally, although you can pre-authorize certain patches and updates in WSUS, thereby reducing the administrative burden placed on local staff.

    Regards.
