LogoutHello Everyone,
As the industry is growing rapidly, various new systems, safety measures are creating space for themselves in the market. Today will see about one those new fields about which even I discovered recently.
A solid patch management system keeps all your company’s devices and software up to date and secure.
Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! Ain’t less than enemy for us. As anyone who uses computers and smart devices knows, operating systems often need to be updated to fix bugs, improve security or implement new features. These software “patches” are deployed by developers to ensure end users have the most up-to-date version available. It’s important for a business to have a process in place for managing system updates and getting every employee on board with installing patches as they become available. Here’s what you should know about patch management and how it impacts the security of your business software.
Let’s see, What is this Patch Management is?
Patch management is the process organizations use to deploy and install software patches to their entire network of devices. An established patch management process helps protect your network from cyberattacks and ensures that all the systems your employees use for their daily workflows are up to date. “The majority of cybersecurity breaches stem from unpatched vulnerabilities and outdated systems,” said Christopher Hass, director of information security and research at Automox. “For example, the Wanna-Cry ransomware attack exploited organizations that failed to stay up to date with Windows patches or used old systems that no longer receive security updates.” Patch management helps keep all your systems and software secure. The updates to your software and applications fix vulnerabilities in the programming that could potentially lead to cyberattacks. Patches aren’t always just for security fixes. They can also come with updates to existing programs, giving them additional features and making them run more efficiently. Many organizations must maintain a certain level of regulatory compliance to reduce the rate of cyberattacks.
