@vivekweb2013 Thanks Vivek, there are a lot of spinning plates when it comes to managing Windows security and operational readiness. Hopefully this service can enable small and remote businesses to better protect their employees and their devices :)

πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ I am both honoured and outrageously excited to introduce you to Node Patrol πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ A quick intro My name is Michael and I am a co-founder and the COO of Node Patrol, a monitoring service for the Windows desktop. I have spent the last 10 years working in the IT service industry, operating in support, architect, management and leadership capacities for some of the worlds largest (and coolest) organisations. Β£200 free credit and 25% lifetime discount for early adopters Register for early release to get Β£200 free credit 🀯 and Founding Member status, granting premium support and a 25% lifetime discount 😍! There's no time limit on the free credit, so even if you don't need Node Patrol today, register in case you need it tomorrow! So, Node Patrol? πŸ€” While working as the Technical Operations Manager for an MSP I was on the lookout for a service that could help my team check and verify the operational readiness of our physical desktop estate. This was because our customers were paying good money for us to keep their tech secure and functional, yet the Service Desk was flooded with desktop-related tickets every morning simply because we had no visibility. We were operating reactively, rather than proactively. I couldn't find a service that fit the bill, so I decided to design one myself, resign from a very stable job (gulp!) and reach out to a few investors I found on LinkedIn. A few pitches and embarrassing lessons later I met my investor-cum-business partner and the rest is history! What's involved? We've created a SaaS offering with a small Windows agent. After creating an account and installing our agent software, customers gain complete device visibility and access to a range of incredible one-click security tools. What does Node Patrol currently monitor? πŸ‘€ - System performance and resource utilisation - Volume and physical disk free space - Installed applications, application updates and crash events - Application usage - Windows Defender virus and threat protection status - Windows Defender detected threats - Windows Defender Firewall - Windows Reliability Index and Reliability Events - All host-based third-party antivirus products - User Account Control - BitLocker protection - System compliance (against XCCDF benchmarks) - Vulnerabilities (OVAL definitions and NVD CVEs) - Exposed NTF shares - Windows Event Logs - Windows Updates - Windows release lifecycles (end of support) - Addition and removal of services, features and local user accounts - Changes to the local DNS file - Device location, speed and direction (optional) - Device uptime Oof, that's a lot! πŸ’₯ Anything else? Well now that you mention it... - We continue to monitor devices while they're offline - Multi-organisation support for MSPs and enterprise customers - Enterprise security features (IP allowlist, enforceable 2FA, SAML SSO/SLO) - Option to use your own SMTP server for email alerts - Role-based access control (RBAC) - Referral and automatic commission program - Pay-as-you-go (monthly) billing with bulk buy discount options - Only pay for what you use (never pay for offline devices) - Automatic licence management - Automatic device enrollment - Automatic device approval (based on predefined rules) Here's a high-level peek at our roadmap: - Automatic remediation of common security issues - Windows patching - App deployment and removal - Socket support for real-time analytics - Automatic diagnostics wizard - Exploring support for other operating systems - Zapier integration About our business: - Based in London (UK) and Bratislava (SK) - Registered in the UK, company number 12092604 - We take security and data protection extremely seriously.

Hello there :) My name is Vladimir, and I work as a developer at Everlution Software, where I have spent the last two years working on NodePatrol. My part of the job was to work on back-end stuff. I am more than excited that the product is now ready to shine. I'll gladly answer any questions you may have :)
