upKeeper Application Handler
upKeeper Application Handler keeps your applications patched and updated, automatically.
What is upKeeper Application Handler?
upKeeper Application Handler is a solution for automated application management that helps IT departments install, update, and maintain applications on the organization’s devices.
Once you have selected which applications to manage, upKeeper Application Handler takes care of the rest. The system ensures that the correct, verified version is installed and that the applications are kept up to date at both the computer and user levels.
It reduces manual work, improves security, and saves time for the IT department.
Before upKeeper Application Handler, we had to keep track of known vulnerabilities ourselves and make sure our applications were up to date. Now we can let go of that stress—we know our applications are always patched.
Keep your applications up to date
Keeping software up to date is an important part of a secure IT environment, but managing it manually can be time-consuming. With upKeeper Application Handler, installations, updates, and patch management are automated, allowing you to quickly roll out new versions and security updates without delays.
With upKeeper Application Handler, you can, among other things:
- Automate the installation and updating of applications.
- Ensure that the correct, verified version is installed.
- Keep standard applications up to date and reduce security risks.
- Roll out critical security updates quickly.
How does upKeeper Application Handler work?
upKeeper Application Handler works with applications available through Microsoft Store and Winget.
Here’s what the workflow looks like:
- Find the application’s ID in the application catalog.
- Create a distribution package based on the application.
- Test and deploy the application.
Once the application is configured, updates are handled automatically when the computer starts up, when you log in, or at regular intervals—for example, every 12 hours.
Why automated application management is important
Applications that are not kept up to date can create security risks and operational problems. With automated management, the IT department doesn’t have to spend time on manual tasks and can instead be confident that the software is up to date.
With upKeeper Application Handler, you get:
- Fewer vulnerabilities thanks to continuously updated software.
- Faster handling when new versions or security updates are available.
- Free up time for the IT department by automating recurring tasks.
- A clear overview of which application versions are in use within the organization.
