Patching

Patching refers to the process of updating software or systems by applying small pieces called "patches." These patches fix security vulnerabilities, fix bugs, improve performance, or add new features. Think of it like repairing or upgrading a machine to keep it running smoothly and securely. Regularly applying patches helps protect your device or application from hackers and ensures it functions properly with the latest improvements. It’s a common maintenance practice in technology to keep everything secure, reliable, and up-to-date.
