Forticlient EMS - Auto patching 3rd party apps

Hello

 

I have an EMS Cloud deployment with assets deployed with Forticlient.

Under the Vulnerability profile, there is an option for "Automatic Patching" which is currently enabled for Criticals.

 

Can someone help me understand the following:

- Confirming this only applies to applications that support automatic patching (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, etc)

- When does auto patching take place?  Is it after a vulnerability scan or a specific interval?

 

I'd like to understand this behavior better.  Thank you

Hi Bonafide

Regarding your first question, I confirm there are some vulnerabilities that support auto patching and others that don't (require manual intervention).

Thanks
Can anyone else answer the intervals?  I have a case open with Fortinet but they state they have to test to determine
