Close The Detection-To-Patch Window
- Kandji's Vulnerability Response closes the window between detection and patching by automating remediation.
- It reduces manual effort and shortens time-to-remediation across fleets.
Delegate Routine Patching

- Focus your IT team on core apps and let Kandji handle routine app updates.
Leverage A Centralized App Catalog
- Rely on Kandji's team and automated tooling to keep auto apps updated rather than each admin managing common apps like Chrome.
