Patch Management

Patch management is the process of updating software and systems to fix vulnerabilities, improve functionality, or enhance security. Just as you regularly maintain your car to keep it running smoothly, organizations apply patches to their software to protect against threats and ensure optimal performance. This involves identifying which patches are needed, testing them to avoid any issues, and then deploying them to affected systems. Effective patch management helps prevent cyberattacks and system failures, ensuring that technology remains reliable and secure over time.
