Patching vulnerabilities on endpoints
You can request FortiClient patch detected critical and high vulnerabilities on endpoints.
FortiClient can automatically patch many software. However, the endpoint user must manually patch some detected software vulnerabilities. If a vulnerability requires the endpoint user to download and install software to patch a vulnerability, FortiClient Console displays the information.
To patch vulnerabilities on endpoints:
- Go to Endpoints.
- Right-click a domain or workgroup, and select Patch critical/high vulnerabilities.
FortiClient initiates automatic vulnerability patching with the next FortiClient Telemetry communication.
