True Third (3rd) Party Patching and Vulnerability Assessment
Atera needs to have true granular 3rd party vulnerability and application patching as well as bios and hardware. Ability to see what third party application needs updating right in the update and patch list, and reporting on what repository (or chocolatey or homebrew) the app is being updated from. This need is currently critical and requires outside vendors to meet the third party patching need. Ideally option for customer sourced repositories that are then approved by Atera just like the scripts library. Ideally there would also be the option to provide a local SMB path for the client to pull the app updates from locally. The repositories such as Dell, ESET, etc, are all public and can be analyzed or even mirrored by Atera. very easily. Vulnerabilities for third party apps are already released as public CVEs in public databases with app version numbers for correlation.
