FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Device Lifecycle Management
How do I stay ahead of device lifecycle management?
Many critical Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) do not have patches available for devices that are at or nearing their End of Life (EOL). In such cases, upgrading to newer devices becomes the only viable option. Kilter automates the tracking of EOL information for hardware, software, and specific components to help organizations effectively manage their device lifecycles. This proactive approach enables better budgeting and planning for retiring old devices and procuring new technology.
What does Kilter mean by network access management?
Network Access Management allows network engineers to easily connect to devices from a single centralized location, supporting a comprehensive and collaborative approach to managing IT operations. By utilizing a network cyber resilience platform like Kilter, organizations can securely access and update devices, ensuring consistent, trusted, and auditable configurations. This means you can track who has connected to a device through Kilter. If the connection uses a graphical user interface (GUI), you can even record the session. This approach enables you to control access and provides a detailed audit of activities. Think of it as implementing Zero Trust principles for network operations, delivering immediate benefits in productivity and security.
