Updates & Patch Management
What is patch management?
Updates and patch management refers to the process of keeping software and hardware components up-to-date with the latest security fixes, performance enhancements, and functional improvements.
For software, this usually involves downloading and installing patches or new versions from the vendor’s website. It is important to keep software up-to-date to ensure that it continues to function correctly and to address any security vulnerabilities that may be discovered.
For hardware, updates and patch management may involve installing firmware upgrades or applying software patches to resolve compatibility issues or to improve performance.
In a corporate environment, updates and patch management is often centralised and automated to ensure that all systems are kept up-to-date in a timely and efficient manner. This can help to reduce the risk of security breaches and minimise downtime.
It is important to regularly check for updates and to apply them as soon as possible to ensure that systems remain secure and reliable.
