Flexera Software Corporate Software Inspector
ESET announced today that Flexera Software, global leader in software licensing, compliance, security and installation solutions, expands the scope of ESET Technology Alliance members. As a result of this newly established relationship, existing SMB ESET customers will have the option to add Flexera Software’s Corporate Software Inspector. The security patch management solution for enterprises bolsters clients’ layered security strategies and will be rolled out gradually via their existing ESET resellers throughout Q4 2016.
Software Vulnerability Manager empowers IT Security and Operations with intelligence on software vulnerability assessment while providing security patching in order to remediate vulnerable applications before exploitation leads to costly breaches such as Equifiax, WannaCry, and Petya.
“At ESET, we know that to be fully protected against online threats means having all of your software patched and up to date. Therefore, we proudly introduce Flexera Software’s Corporate Software Inspector as the newest member of the ESET Technology Alliance, to help enterprises with patch management,” said Jeronimo Varela, Director of Global Sales at ESET.
According to Flexera Software Vulnerability Review 2016, the number of vulnerabilities detected in 2015 was 16,081, discovered in 2,484 applications from 263 vendors. The statistic shows a 39% increase over the course of the five-year trend and a 2% increase from 2014 to 2015.
'Corporate Software Inspector is the preferred security patching solution for more than 1,000 enterprises worldwide. They benefit from our seamless integration with Microsoft products to simplify assessment of security status and patching of critical, non-Microsoft applications,“ said Cindy Grogan, Vice President Global Alliances at Flexera Software.
Corporate Software Inspector empowers IT Operations teams to continuously identify vulnerable applications and apply security patches – before vulnerabilities that lead to costly breaches can be exploited. The solution leverages verified vulnerability intelligence and assesses over 20,000 applications, delivering tested patch packages for non-Microsoft applications, accelerating identification of vulnerabilities, driving their prioritization and reducing time to patch.
Launched in 2013, the ESET Technology Alliance is an integration partnership that aims to better protect businesses by offering a range of complementary IT security solutions.

The Secunia or Flexera Personal Software Inspector is a free security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated software and plug-ins which expose your otherwise updated & secure Windows computer to malicious attacks.

Attacks exploiting vulnerable programs and plug-ins are rarely blocked by traditional antivirus and are therefore increasingly popular among criminals. The only solution to block this kind of attacks is to apply security updates, commonly referred to as patches. Patches are offered free-of-charge by most software vendors, however, finding all these patches is a tedious and time-consuming task.
Secunia PSI automates this and alerts you when your programs and plug-ins require updating to stay secure.
The free tool will scan all the installed software on your system and identify if any of them need to be updated. It will also detect and report End-of-Life programs and plug-ins. End-of-Life (EOL) programs are no longer maintained and supported by the vendor. It then supplies your computer with the necessary software security updates to keep it safe. The Secunia PSI even automates the updates for your insecure programs.
