Athletics IT will monitor most software installed on user systems. Firefox, Chrome and many others will be patched automatically from our back end without any input needed from staff. Certain other programs cannot be remotely patched. If you require an update for a piece of software, simply contact us and we’ll get the update set up for you.
Athletics uses a software package called IBM Endpoint Manager to handle software updates on our Windows machines. Updates are pushed at 1am each morning if necessary. We urge that you do not leave any files unsaved overnight.
Some software on Macs will auto-update. Most will require us to visit your machine to update. Contact us if you require an update.
Penn State offers some software that can be downloaded and used at home.
