With ondeso SR, you have access to a reliable WSUS alternative on premise that is specifically designed for industrial environments. You retain full control over your OT systems without relying on cloud services.
Reliable management of
Windows updates in industrial settings
without cloud dependency
With ondeso SR, you have access to a reliable WSUS alternative on premise that is specifically designed for industrial environments. You retain full control over your OT systems without relying on cloud services.
A WSUS alternative on premise is becoming increasingly important for you if you operate industrial environments. WSUS has been used for Windows update management for many years. However, Microsoft has not actively developed the platform further since July 2024. Only security and compatibility updates are still provided.
At the same time, Microsoft is shifting its focus towards cloud based services such as Microsoft Intune or Azure Update Manager. This can work well in traditional IT environments. In your industrial network, however, cloud approaches often reach their limits.
Why cloud approaches are often not suitable for OT environments
Many production environments are intentionally isolated.
Typical requirements include:
Greater control, security, and transparency with an independent on-premises solution for OT systems running from Windows XP SP3
With ondeso SR, OT environments can be operated stably and independently entirely on-premises. They do not rely on cloud services or internet connections, thereby reducing external dependencies. At the same time, heterogeneous Windows environments can also be managed centrally.
Patch and software processes are controlled via clearly defined workflows. Updates can be tested according to a schedule and rolled out to production in a controlled manner. Manufacturer-specific update lists in accordance with IEC 62443-2-3 can also be taken into account.
Updates can be scheduled so that ongoing production processes are not interrupted. Even in highly critical OT environments, operations remain reliably secured, as ondeso SR was developed specifically for the requirements of industrial infrastructures.

Success Story: CVE-2021-44228: Log4Shell-Patching
A cybersecurity engineer in the automotive industry faced the challenge of patching the critical Log4Shell vulnerability on 2,000 OT clients as quickly as possible. Thanks to ondeso SR, he found an automated solution to quickly identify and fix the vulnerability.
Functions beyond classic patch management
With ondeso SR, you go well beyond the capabilities of WSUS and gain a comprehensive solution for the centralized management of your OT clients.
All tasks are logged in detail to increase traceability and analyze potential errors. This allows you to maintain control over your OT environment at all times, manage the entire lifecycle of your clients, and reduce manual effort simultaneously.
What our Customers say
“Thanks to the highly detailed overview of our OT environment, we can now quickly determine whether we are affected when new software vulnerabilities become known.”
Wolfgang Rechenauer
Engineer EMSR at NAFTA Speicher
“ondeso SR is essentially my Swiss Army Knife for OT management with a whole range of functional options.”

“By using ondeso SR, we can now completely install and finalise the configuration of the clients in 1.5 hours.”
Stefan Hiemeyer
Team Lead Automation Scada at Groninger
“Once you have understood the basic specifics of ondeso SR, the application is always the same and you no longer have to differentiate between Windows 7 or Windows 10. For me, it’s always the same and I can use it to manage the heterogeneous world that we have very well.”

“By taking an inventory of all assets, we are now able to carry out and manage processes such as patch-, backup- and security management centrally, flexibly and automatically.”
Volker Husemann
Senior Expert Workplace & Software Management at Thyssenkrupp Steel
“We have never introduced a software tool into our production facilities that has paid for itself in such a short time. The fast and secure update process in the wake of the WannaCry threat alone has enabled us to save time and effort while maximising process security.”
