AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager launches security updates notification for Windows

News



AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager has launched a new security updates notification feature for Windows patching compliance, designed to help administrators manage system security more effectively.

  • Introduces a new patch state called "AvailableSecurityUpdate"
  • Reports security patches of all severity levels not yet approved
  • Prevents unintentional instances remaining unpatched
  • By default, instances with available security updates are marked as Non-Compliant
  • Configurable through patch baseline settings

The feature is available in all AWS Regions where Systems Manager is supported, with no additional charges beyond standard AWS Systems Manager pricing. It helps organizations maintain secure systems while providing granular control over patch management.
