Why Firmware Governance Matters

Manual updates are risky and unscalable. Automate the lifecycle to secure your infrastructure.

Minimise Security Risks

Outdated firmware exposes infrastructure to known exploits. Close vulnerability gaps instantly with automated patching.

Maintain Compliance

Keep firmware aligned with ISO/NIST standards and sector-specific requirements through automated auditing.

Avoid Stability Issues

Older firmware causes unpredictable bugs and crashes. Standardize on stable releases to improve uptime.

Ensure Update Consistency

Prevent version drift across large, multi-vendor environments by enforcing a single source of truth.

Image Management

Centralized repository for all vendor images.

Automated Scheduling

Plan upgrades for specific maintenance windows.

Rollback Support

The Centralized Firmware Command Center

Managing firmware across a multi-vendor network is traditionally a chaotic process of manual downloads, TFTP servers, and spreadsheet tracking.

rConfig changes the game by offering a centralized firmware library. You can upload, categorize, and validate firmware images for Cisco, HP, Juniper, Fortinet, and more.

Designate "Safe-Harbour" versions to ensure every device complies with your golden image baseline. Every action is logged, creating an unshakeable audit trail for governance reviews.

  • Vendor-agnostic format handling
  • Safe-harbour validation logic
  • Detailed deployment metadata logs

Verify & Log

Automated post-checks confirm version, uptime, and log the success.

Real-World Use Cases

Managed Service Providers (MSPs)

Standardize firmware versions across hundreds of distinct customer networks from a single pane of glass. Eliminate manual site-by-site upgrades.

Large Enterprises

Maintain strict compliance across hybrid infrastructure (Campus, Branch, Cloud). Automate monthly security patching cycles with zero downtime.

Data Centers

Push validated OS versions to thousands of switches at scale. Use automated rollbacks to prevent bricked devices during critical operations.
