You can configure DOC4000 to use workflow cases to assign and record the testing, implementation, and mitigation processes of patch management. You can create the checklists and workflow definitions, and then you can configure DOC4000 to create cases using these workflow definitions when a user clicks the corresponding disposition button in the DOC4000 web interface.

The following list guides you through the configuration tasks to support using workflows for patch management.

  1. Make sure you have loaded and configured the required asset models. To configure and use the Patch Management workflows in DOC4000, you must load and configure the Cyber Integrity, PAS Workflows, and PAS Recon asset models. You also need to import the PAS Patch Management asset model and configure patch management. For more information, see Steps for Configuring DOC4000 and Steps for Implementing Patch Management.

  2. Create a patch testing checklist. You will incorporate this checklist into the workflow definition you create for the patch testing portion of patch management. For more information, see Creating the Patch Testing Checklist.

  3. Create a patch implementation and mitigation checklist. You will incorporate this checklist into the workflow definitions you create for the patch implementation and patch mitigation portions of patch management. For more information, see Creating the Patch Implementation and Mitigation Checklist.

  4. Create the patch testing workflow definition to guide the patch testing process of patch management. For more information, see Creating the Patch Testing Workflow.

  5. Create the patch implementation workflow definition and the patch mitigation workflow definition to guide these processes. For more information, see Creating the Patch Implementation and Patch Mitigation Workflows.

  6. Specify the owner of each monitored system to ensure DOC4000 notifies the appropriate person when patch management workflow case is created. For more information, see Defining the Owner for Each Monitored System.

  7. Review the workflow configuration settings available to connect patch management with the workflows you created and several other options. For more information, see Understanding the Workflow Configuration Settings.

  8. Configure the patch management workflow properties to identify the workflow definition to use when creating cases for patch management. For more information, see Defining the Patch Management Workflows to Use.

After you create, configure, and save the checklists, workflow definitions, and the CyberIntegrityWorkflows properties, users can begin to perform the patch management tasks, such as adding vendors and vendor aliases and creating vendor bulletins.
