Case Study: Anglia Ruskin University reduces patching workload and improves estate visibility with Heimdal Security

Anglia Ruskin University improves patching efficiency and estate visibility with Heimdal

Anglia Ruskin University partnered with Heimdal Security to tackle the time-consuming burden of manual application patching across a large, mixed-use IT estate. Facing pressure from compliance requirements like Cyber Essentials, operational disruption from unplanned updates, and the need to balance security with a good user experience, ARU also evaluated products such as Heimdal’s Patch & Asset Management, Infinity Management, and PEDM modules.

Heimdal Security helped Anglia Ruskin University automate patching workflows, improve visibility into vulnerable applications, and streamline software delivery, with later expansion to servers and remote support. The result was less repetitive admin, more predictable operations, better vulnerability prioritisation, and stronger readiness for compliance audits, with ARU reporting that the solution “massively saved us time” and made the team’s work much easier.
