PatchPulse

PatchPulse is a desktop + web app (traditional + AI) that continuously verifies whether endpoints are actually patched and protected, rather than trusting agent self-reports. It runs lightweight, read-only checks (OS build, installed KBs, vulnerable DLL versions, browser/extension versions, EDR health signals) and cross-validates them against multiple sources (Windows Update history, package managers, file hashes, and configuration baselines). An AI layer turns raw drift into prioritized, human-readable remediation steps and flags suspicious inconsistencies (e.g., agent says “patched” but vulnerable binaries remain). The product focuses on “evidence-grade” compliance: exportable proof bundles for audits, change tickets, and incident response. Realistically, you won’t beat Microsoft Defender/Intune or CrowdStrike at full EDR; the wedge is independent verification and audit-ready proof across mixed environments where tooling is messy and trust is low.
