HCL BigFix inventory module gather hardware information from servers and workstations and mobile devices, as well as software installed on these endpoints. HCL BigFix can also analyze how often particular software is used. For example, some expensive software is purchased to several users, later we can check if all of them are using this particular software with same pattern, if not company may decide to reduce costs , but prolonging software only to those who use it intensively.

HCL BigFix shows vulnerabilities exists in network, corresponding CVEs link to CVE description.
CYBERFocus is unique to HCL BigFix, it gives quick visual report which vulnerability can be exploited, probability, description of vulnerability. As well which from world’s most known hacker groups will exploit it and how. It will give you scenario of potential attach, this will allow to make countermeasures in advance.

HCL BigFix apply patches to endpoints if they are tested by HCL Team. This eliminates risk that vendor will publish a patch that will harm your infrastructure. This gives triple testing. Vendor, HCL, and automated testing on client side, where patches first applied to test environments, only then to production server. Such approach mitigates patch risks and reduced probability that server will get patch that will harm system.

Advanced remote control allows to connect to users’ devices and help them. Even if users are outside local network (in hotel or home).
Several modes to connect:
HCL BigFix has Windows and WebConsole. Webconsole is for daily use, allows to have overview of endpoints. Quckly drill down to see endpoints that need attention.
