# Linux Patch Management

The patch management process in Linux includes identifying, prioritizing, and testing Linux patches in a pilot group of computers. Next step involves deploying and monitoring the updates. With Endpoint Central, you can perform these processes from a centralized console. You can deploy Linux security and non-security updates by choosing between manual and automated deployment methods, ensuring all Linux machines on the network are up to date with critical/recent patches and free of vulnerabilities.

The supported Linux flavors for patching using Endpoint Central include:
