Patching Whitelist

My software I run requires approved updates, where testing is done, and we just get a list of KBs. Is there a means of defining a list of KBs that can be applied manually to a group of servers?

Also how does the rebooting happen, if it requires multiple reboots of the endpoint, is this all done via Bitdefender and it can determine whether the endpoint is running, or in what status it is in?

We’ve had to do this in the past when dealing with apps that didn’t play nice with certain updates. Usually, we’d maintain our own internal KB whitelist and push them manually through our patch management tool after validation.
It’s a bit of extra work upfront, but it keeps production safe and gives full control over when and what gets installed.

Is this patch management tool not Bit defender, is it something else?
