Our fully automated “Instant Patch” solution for NetScaler!

Do you want to win the race against cyber threats with us?
Proactive patching is the secret weapon that will turn your IT infrastructure into a solid fortress.

No more running after the truth! With our world premiere innovation NetScaler Instant Patch, you can always stay one step ahead and stop security gaps before they even occur. This means less downtime, less risk and more security for your data and the company.

Actively ensure your NetScalers (and Gateways) are up-to-date! Let's work together taking your digital security strategy to the next level. We'll patch your NetScaler even before you find out from the major known sources that there is a new release available. You no longer have to validate reality on a day by day base - just sit back and relax.

Before you even know about a security-relevant patch, you are already well protected. Fully automated and without any expenditure of time or resources.

Leveraging our bcEvergreen service for NetScaler, we integrate seamlessly into your operational processes and IT structures and do not need to change existing configurations. Automatic notifications, alarms and integration with your existing monitoring instruments are a matter of course. Or even new possibilities: in future, your mobile app will automatically notify you in the same minute when a new patch is available and while we have already started negotiated upgrade procedures. This usually means that you are already protected before the security newsletter arrives or the relevant editorial pages raise the alarm. Welcome to the journey through time that we have prepared for you.

Our service was invented by experienced technicians and architects and quality-assured until this framework exceeded our own expectations of an SLA-compliant service provider and end customer operational model - and we use this extensively for our own deployments. We put huge efforts to the requirement that customer-specific wishes and integration needs can be implemented with very little technical know-how and we already provide the "common examples" within the basic installation to guarantee great customer experience.

IT engineering made in Germany. Hosted in Germany.

When using bcEvergreen, you retain full administrative control over your NetScaler and the environment. We do not require VPN connectivity, nor do we consume a public IP address at your network edge.

The Challenge

The NetScaler is constantly exposed to threats in public facing scenarios. Since CVE 2019-19781 at the beginning of 2020, it has been known what consequences can be caused by a lack of patching measures. Experience has shown that time-critical action is a decisive criterion for protecting yourself against exploitation.

Time is money - and time plays an important vector in any exploitation. With bcEvergreen you have the ultimate tool at hand to ensure your NetScaler is always up to date.

Would you like to patch your NetScaler faster than the competition? We can help you. Resellers are also welcome!

Our services

bcEvergreen's choreography:

  1. System availability and consistency - we check the uptime of all NetScaler nodes, we report synchronization problems in the HA state and detect unexpected firmware differences. In short: we ensure that your environment really meets all expectations of high availability and fault tolerance before an update even could fail.
  2. Continuous monitoring for new firmware - we continuously check if a new firmware has been officially released and notify you in real time.
  3. RFC-compliant change management - you decide how new firmware should be handled: from immediate installation approval to automatic decisions based on time slots or weekday, manual approval commands from authorized administrators, ticket creation or even workflow activation for complex approval processes, at the end of which an automatic installation approval is granted. Practically anything is possible and the actual installation procedure run completely unattended and does not require any NetScaler expertise. We support dev/QA/production tiering as well as single-stage operational designs.
  4. Notification options - Information to system administrators or individual messages to end user groups are extensively configurable, from email to team messages, up to the activation of complex workflows.
  5. Built-in recovery and integration of monitoring systems - snapshots of virtual appliances, configuration backup or activation of maintenance modes in your systems monitoring environment are set before the update procedure starts and the success message is awaited then.
  6. Monitoring update processes - we discover aborted installations, long-running tasks and all conceivable deviations from normal installation progress and also reports on successful completion.
  7. Interim status report/all clear - we detect as soon as the current firmware has been activated in an HA pair and can link additional processes and success reports to this.
  8. Cleanup phase - we monitor the complete processing of updates over a longer period of time and ensure that system monitoring is activated again at the end.
  9. Detailed metrics and logging - all performance and logic counters of our management infrastructure can also be integrated into your monitoring solutions outside of our supplied dashboards. Do you already use push notifications via mobile phone "new firmware available" or a traffic light indicator in the monitoring dashboard for "firmware UpToDate"?

Our fully automated cloud service will patch your NetScaler environment faster than the manufacturer's newsletter about a critical CVE makes it to your inbox. Enjoy the moment when your CISO frantically asks you to patch when a NetScaler CVE is announced and you can calmly answer: Already done!
